Lemongrass is quite a popular Thai restaurant with quite a few outlets around the island. I like their string beans a lot. One of my favourite dish! But one thing about this outlet is that it is always packed during dinner time, mostly on weekends. Because of that, service is not as efficient and it takes a long time before the food is served.
Nonetheless, I would say this place is worth a try :)
The lobster linguine is highly recommended at all Coffee Club outlets.
Also, the muddy mud pie is quite a good item to try. The food there is great, and it's an excellent place to dine at for chocolate lovers! Why? Because their chocolate flavoured stuff are really rich in chocolate, I'm sure you'll love this place if you're a chocolate fanatic!
However, despite the great food, I won't say I'd leave this place smiling. Great food does not go with lousy service, especially when the people there tend to forget your order. I think that's the worst thing one taking orders can do.
A small unit located somewhere in Parkway. Don't look down on this little shop, it sells many simple accessories that are suitable for ladies who are into the latest trends. It's a pity the place is really small, however the shop sells many items ranging from hairbands to rings, necklaces to earrings. This small shop allows one to find suitable accessories to match your clothes, and most importantly you don't need a long time to find something right because everything is displayed clearly and is easy to spot what you want.
Secondly, the items here are in an affordable range. For example, most necklaces cost less than $16, and they even have some earrings that are sold at 3 pairs of $9. They may be earrings that may cost $5 a pair at other shops selling similar accessories.
Last of all, the sales lady is really pleasant too! I was there not long ago to buy something. Before payment, the lady asked if I wanted to get a matching earring to go with it. I wanted to take a look at it and she offered to take it for me, even though there was a queue and it was not exactly very near. I was very pleased by her service and left the place feeling very happy.
A place selling nice items, with good service is where you'd really like to shop. I highly recommend this place!
I've seen many pepper lunch outlets around town area, and heard a lot about it. I decided to give it a try after hearing so much about it. I ordered a curry beef rice. It being my first time, I thought it was quite cool to see the dishes being served out on sizzling hot plates, and that we had to cook the meat ourselves and stir everything together. However, one thing I really disliked about the place was also the fact that we had to do the cooking ourselves. After all that smoke from our hotplate, we end up smelling like we just left a hawker centre. It stinks up your clothes and leave you feeling smelly for the rest of the day.
Secondly, this place does sell meat like salmon and beef, and would be slightly more expensive. However, I feel that the food is priced too high, with the cheapest dish being around $8 all the way to around $16 . It is not exactly worth the money. Plus, the side dishes are also really expensive. Unless it's once in awhile, I feel that this place is not a good place to patronize because of the high cost.
Movie tickets today are priced at different prices today, which can cost as high as $9.50 on weekends and public holidays. Despite this rocket high price, people are still willing to pay for it. However, many would prefer to catch a movie during the weekdays when ticket prices are cheaper. For people looking for a cheap place to catch a movie, this is the place you're looking for. On weekdays, tickets are priced at $5; on weekends, tickets are priced at arond $6.50. Nonetheless, the most expensive ticket you can get from this place is still cheaper than movie tickets at GV on weekdays.
However, do not expect much from a place like this. The place is not as well maintained as other cinemas. The aircon is not as strong as other cinemas and the seats are not as comfortable as those you can get from GV or Cathay. Also, despite the large seating capacity, the theatre is seldom more than half filled. But the place is good enough to stay in there for 2 hours or so.
If you're not particular about the air-conditioning or the environment, this is a good place to go. In addition, the rules there are less strict and you are allowed to bring in other food from elsewhere. People who frequent this cinema would normally take-away food from the nearby KFC or Macdonald's.
This popular book store is located one level above the MRT station. It's quite convenient to go to, as it is very near the MRT station. This outlet is rather big too, and they have a range of things from books to stationery, and some electronic devices and ink cartridges.
However, I think the place is closing down as most shops on that level, including Popular, are having closing sales. There's quite a good bargain at this outlet. I'm not sure if the sale is over, but those who intend to buy a lot of things can go there. There's a whole range of books available.
The first time we walked pass this place, we said to ourselves, "next time must eat!". So the next time we passed by, we walked into the restaurant and happily ordered our food. After ordering at the counter, we decided to pay by NETS since we did not have enough cash. "Sorry, we do not accept NETS", was the reply. Oh ok, we thought to ourselves, maybe they can accept VISA, so we asked could we pay by VISA and they said "sorry we do not accept VISA". Then what do you accept? Can we pay by TT Transfer or bank draft??!!!?? The reply was,"We only accept cash". So we said thank you and had to walk out of the place with hungry stomachs and decided that propably we can only eat here the 3rd time round.
If you decide to eat here, please bring along CASH! Nothing is more useful then cold hard cash! Wonder why they do not accept other modes of payment. Maybe they do not want to pay for the extra 3%, so that they can charge us less for the fish?
The 3rd time round, we made sure we had enough cash. So we ordered the Silver Cod Fillet with fries and the North Atlantic Cod Loin with fries. When we were served it looked the same. Which is which? Even the person at the counter did not know and had to ask. So we were wondering what is going on!?!
Anyway after the first bite, we started to love the juicy and tender fillet which was well fried. The servings of chips is VERY VERY generous. Perhaps too much for us. They are huge by our standards and at the end of the meal, eating the chips seems to be like a chore. Well, too much of anything is always no good!
So what do we recommend the next time you want to eat here. Maybe just order the Cream dory fillet at half the price. Who knows, maybe they will look the same as the North Atlantic Cod Loin, or maybe you can hope that the counter staff gives you the Atlantic Cod Loin instead since they find it hard to tell them apart when fried!
We ate here in the evening, so the non-airconditioned atmosphere is not too bad. Our personal preference is still the Beer batter Cod, which of course is not served here and that is another story.
Recently there was a sale at Esprit and, of course, it attracted many shoppers there. The Wisma outlet was packed and the outlet was kind of under-staffed. Many customers were asking for a new piece or if there were different sizes available. I managed to spot a staff walking by and asked for a new piece for a certain item. Then I walked around the place and almost forgot about my request. When I remembered, I went looking for that lady and saw her looking for me too. I was quite surprised to know that despite the crowd, she did not put aside my item just because she couldn't look for me. At the same time, I was really pleased at her service attitude.
Unfortunately, it wasn't all working there that were this pleasant. It would be good if they all adopted such good service.
I've heard so much about ya kun's that I decided to try it out. I was at the taka outlet and I ordered a 2 pieces of toast. I must say that it tasted ok, or maybe it just doesn't taste lousy. I feel that ya kun's toasts may have quite a variety, but it is definitely is overrated and over-priced. Perhaps it does have a good reputation due to the many franchise outlets available all over Singapore, thus many people don't feel that the food there is over-priced. However, I personally feel that toasts and coffee of such quality could be available at other coffee shops, and at cheaper price too.

Chong Pang Nasi Lemak has got the nicest chicken wings and drumsticks that I've ever tried! Superbly crispy and tasty, and the size is huge.
The nasi lemak rice itself and the other side dishes are good too. Queue is usually pretty long, so be prepared to wait.
And the shop itself is not very accessible unless you drive. But definitely worth the trip!
