The Cheesecake Cafe is located just a stone's throw away from Siglap Centre. It's open from Wed-Sun, 4.30 - 11.30pm.
It is THE Cheesecake Cafe. As in THE. It serves up a whole host of different cheesecakes. There are also specials everyday which are not in the menu. The Rum N Raisin Cheesecake and Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake are great! There's also a peach one which I love but I can't remember the exact name. Anyway TRY ALL. I'm serious.
The food isn't all that great. They serve some finger food that taste different from time to time. The drinks are fine.
The ambience is very relaxed with jazz playing in the background. There are sofa seats and dinner tables to choose from, depending on what you wish to order.
It's the perfect place to chill out with your friends. But not for dinner.
Pepper Lunch! Definitely something new. The food cooks at your table so you needn't worry about it being served cold or stale-like. There's a wide variety of dishes for you to choose from with different combinations.
You could have salmon, chicken, rice, etc.
I had the Salmon and Chicken Combo, whilst my companion had the Beef set. Both of which tasted great. It would not be overcooked as the pan on which the food is served cools after a while.
The ambience is very casual as it is a fast food restaurant. The prices are higher than that of your regular fast food joints but it's really due to the quality of the food.
One small gripe I have would be that the servers could afford to smile a little more and they could make the system of seating the customers more transparent.
This is actually a concept restaurant. The food cooks at your table on a very very hot stone. There's no oil added, so it's really healthy. They use spices and marinate to make your meat taste good. There are pretty special dishes like the huge mushroom and all dishes are served with some vege and potato mash which tastes really nice!
The servers are well-mannered and always willing to help. They are also very knowledgeable and are able to dispense advice regarding the choice of food and the cooking method promptly.
The pricing is average. For the quality and ambience i guess it's reasonable.
I only have 2 gripes. One of which is that the variety is quite limited. There is only one dish of every meat... which means one chicken dish, one fish, one beef, one seafood, etc. The second is that I left the place, smelling as if you've just been to a barbeque.
Totally agreed! The place has a very sleazy feel to it, with live canto pop music, "ah lians" trying to get you to buy drinks, and terrible pole dance performances.
During the only time that I was there, the male singer walked off during his singing simply because he was mad at a particular customer for a reason unknown to me. Absolutely unprofessional.
Alessi is an Italian kitchenware company which is famous for its colorful and playful designs.
Their products can really turn the otherwise dull and boring kitchen into a fun place to cook and prepare food. Such as the futuristic-looking lemon squeezer, the cutesy eggcup, and the Anna G. wine bottle corkscrew pictured above.
For people who believes in form over function (that's not saying that Alessi products lack functionality), this is the perfect place to get your kitchenware!
Hong Kong cafes are all the rage recently! And this Tong Shui Cafe along Liang Seah Street is one of them. But in my opinion, not the best of them.
The cafe is usually pretty packed (these days, which Hong Kong cafe isn't?) so big groups might find it difficult to get seats.
I tried their Fried Rice with Salted Fish and Wolfberries and Iced Yin Yong, which are decent. But at $8.88, I am inclined to say that it's a little high on price.
They also have the very popular Nissin noodles, which I should try one day!
Seems to be one of the more popular computer shop in Sim Lim. And the service has really improved a lot over the years.
The last time I stepped into the shop was with a friend who bought a external hard disk enclosure from them. We were pleasantly surprised when the sales person offered to test the item for us. Something quite rare in Sim Lim.
As for prices, theirs are definitely among the better ones.
Went to this outlet of Coffee Club several times, but the last time wasn't a very pleasant one.
Perhaps due to their low table and the inexperience of the waitress, she spilled coffee (cold one, fortunately) on me while trying to place the coaster with one hand and balance the coffee on a tray with the other.
The coffee only managed to spill on my socks, but they could have done better than just offering me some serviette to clean myself. Shouldn't the drink be on the house?
And when the accident happened, the waitress was more concerned with cursing under her breath than apologising to us.
Overall, nice and quiet cafe except for this unpleasant experience.

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!

Looking for a shopping mall for all your home furnishing needs? Park Mall is the place to go! Well, provided you have the budget to match.
The shops here mostly carry upmarket designer furniture such as Philippe Starck and Herman Miller.
If you got the dough, you might just find the perfect things to beautify your home. Otherwise, even window-shopping here is not a bad idea at all!
