Although the shop assistants all seem to look a little intimidating to me at first, they all end up quite willing to help. Definitely not the usual "ah beng" attitude in most Sim Lim Square shops.
Their price are really competitive and they carry a pretty wide range of products. One of the more reputable photography shops around.
I do agree with the previous post that the food is delicious and relatively good price for its quality; however I wonder if they are under staff? It is quite crowded here especially during peak hours. You may have to wait for 15 to 30 min for a table. Service is not as good too probably due to the crowd. I did not get my warm water served until I repeated my request from 3 waitresses.
However, this place really has good food. I really like it. Unless you mind the slow service and long queue, this place would be a must try!
I won't say that this place has everything to offer. It has a huge bookstore, great for readers of all genres. There are also some art stores at the higher levels, with specific art materials to be found. There are the fast food centres and food outlets around the place; however, apart from these shops, the rest are more of high-end boutiques like Hugo Boss and Armani Xchange, or slightly cheaper (relative) alternatives like Zara. Perhaps if you're searching for cheaper things, NAC is not exactly the place to go. Perhaps neighbourhood shopping malls would be better.
One of the best known shopping mall in Singapore! It's huge, but yet it seems easy to find your way around. There are all kinds of shops here so almost anything can be found.
If you are a foreigner who is going to visit Singapore, this is a mall that you should drop by.
Great Vietnamese food at affordable prices. I like the spicy and sour seafood soup (cost about $4 for a small bowl), full of bits of fish, prawn, squid and seafood. The spicy and sour flavours are not too strong. Gets your appetite going. It has more than 100 items on the menu so eat till your hearts content. Pho Bo, Pomelo Salad, Fresh Spring roll and all your vietnamese favourites.
Nice ambience and classy place with good peranakan food. Portions are reasonably sized. Ideal for family dinners or if you are bringing guest savour Peranakan Cuisine.
For those wondering why this place is called Loof, it is actually a clever play on the word "roof", with an inverted "r". Why roof? Probably because the bar is situated on a rooftop, or the fact that there is no roof over the place.
Music there is not too loud, perfect for chatting. And the sofas are really cozy!
Cathay Photo is one of the most popular photography shop in Singapore. Located at Peninsula Plaza's ground floor, they currently take up three units, each catered for different equipments.
Range of products: Excellent! They carry almost anything that is photography-related. Things you can't find in most photography shops, such as Gary Fong's Lightsphere and Lensbaby, can most probably be found here.
Price: By looking at their price tags alone, the prices are hardly reasonable. But more often than not, they are able to give you discounts, which brings the prices down nicely to reasonable levels. Could even be considered one of the lowest prices in town for certain items.
Service: Pretty good. Having so many sales personnel, there are bound to be a few who don't really know their stuffs. But overall, very friendly people.
If only they close later than 7pm. I find it a little too early for people who have to work office hours like myself.
Chilling out there with a couple of friends was overall a pretty pleasant experience. But honestly, it failed to capture my heart. And being located all the way out in Sentosa didn't help.
Opened in 1991, Zouk is one of the longest running dance clubs in Singapore. The crowd is awesome, the drinks are potent, and the music really rock my socks off!
Fridays and Saturdays are my favorite nights. For those of you into retro music, there's also Mambo Night (aka Mambo Jambo) every Wednesday.
Zouk can get way too crowded at times though. Dancing becomes difficult, and getting shoved becomes inevitable.

Perhaps thanks to their marketing efforts, there seem to be a lot of hype about this new Café del Mar. The place's beautiful, with music pumping throughout the night (though I don't particularly liked them).
Chilling out there with a couple of friends was overall a pretty pleasant experience. But honestly, it failed to capture my heart. And being located all the way out in Sentosa didn't help.
