Believe it or not, even though I'm a true Indonesian, the first Ayam Penyet I ate was the one in this particular restaurant. Sorry la, Ayam Penyet does not originate from Jakarta okay! (I come from Jakarta)
And I loveeeee it. I love their big serving! It's really fulfilling and will not run out fast when you're busy talking to your friends. The chilli is so SHIOK! (borrowing Singaporean term) It's really hard to find a good chilli here in Singapore, I tell you. Most of the chilli I find is too sweet or not spicy at all. Bleah. Well, I can understand if genesis ^ can't take the chilli..Singapore's tongue juz can't tolerate hot chilli I guess since there are hardly any spicy chilli here. Hahaha.
I also love their gado-gado! Gado-gado is some kind of salad (since basically they throw in many types of vegetables inside), plus some beancurds and some lontongs (rice) covered with yummy peanut sauce. Oh the glorious peanut sauce. I remember the last time I ate this I was so full I had difficulty to get up from my seat! LOL.
They also serve many interesting beverages. I'm not really keen to drink sweet beverages so usually I only order hot tea. However there's a popular beverage there : Soda Gembira. It literally means "Happy Soda". Hahaha. Won't explain what it is. Just go and try! (and tell me whether you got happy or not =P)
One flaw.. The service staff is sometimes kinda blur and our order sometimes doesn't come out as expected (sometimes food item that's not ours come to our table.. and sometimes food item we ordered doesn't come... -_-). We already tried to explain slowly in Indonesian and English but well.. Blur people.. What to do -_-
However all in all I really like this place! Since Kantin Aneka (a stall in now-closed S21 Food square at Cuppage Road) is now closed, I shall go here for my Indonesian food fix. Homesick, you know!
Don't be fooled by its name. Of course they sell snacks like chicken stick (wings, thigh, etc.), bacon and mushroom on a stick, but they sell nice set meals too! And they're selling so cheaply. You can see the menu here : http://www.quickbite.com.sg/menu.htm There are only 4 set meals you can see on the website but in reality there are more! I believe if you're nice, you can change items in your set meal with something else too..
Don't be fooled by its unglamorous look either! Well it doesn't have proper seating, but the basement at The Cathay has plenty of tables and chairs you can sit on. So don't worry!
I like this place a lot! Selling their food very cheap, but very delicious and tasty! The teriyaki sauce is very very nice. The seaweed adds nice smell to the food. Oh and the rice is also very nice too! And the nicest thing is of course.. It's so cheap! I usually only spend 6 or 7 dollars for a fulfilling meal! Oh yes it's very fulfilling. The bowl might look small, but really, it's very fulfilling.
Another place I always frequent. Cathay has many nice food outlets!
Purpli Design is a relatively new blogstore selling accessories, mainly earrings. (er well actually all they sell is earrings...)
They have nice simple designs and what's better.. The earrings are super cheap! They are all below SGD 10. Even though they are cheap, the materials are good! Swarovski crystals and many other pretty materials are used.
The owner is very friendly and responds to your enquiries very fast. Items are also mailed very fast. In short, transaction with her is really easy and no-fuss!
However I really wish she would take care of her packaging better. My earrings came packed between cartons and it was kinda messy inside the ziploc bag and nearly fell off from the card that's holding them. Bubble wrap will be better, I guess, to keep the shape and reduce damages.
Forget the overrated and overcrowded Starbuck's. Like seriously.
Coffeebean is the less popular, yet not less delicious coffee shop. I always order their ice blended mocha and it's heavenly! The ingredients are just nice! And the taste is just nice. Not very sweet, not very bitter, just nice!
They also have cakes. Delicious cakes! I tried the mudpie once and it was very very good! It was also not expensive, priced for only about $4 a slice.
This branch has 2 computers with internet access if you need it. Well they don't have wi-fi but well... Wireless@SG is still available.
The place is also very cozy! Forget that overcrowded Starbucks! This place is rarely overcrowded so you can move freely as you want. Noise level is also not too high.
They also have nice breakfast sets! Croissants, Eggs, you name it. I used to live at Waterloo Street and everytime I was on my way to school I would pass this Coffeebean and they smelled utterly delicious! Should try their breakfast set sometime...

All in all, it's still a good shop! Check it out!
