I give more stars than the reviews above since I always like going here.
Contrary of the previous reviews, I go to this restaurant often and like it! I think the chicken is very good and tasty. Especially the chili! I think it's very fragrant and tasty. One other type of food I (and my boyfriend.. he likes it a lot too) usually order is the fried tofu. It's so delicious, especially the skin. I bet the skin has some special recipe..
Well yeah sometimes it's not that good though. I guess it's just how lucky we are when we come. We once came and the chicken served to us was nothing but bones! Okay, exaggerated, but there were many bones..
It's suitable for eating with a large group of people since their portion is quite big and pricey. You will see many families eating here.
However I agree that service can be kinda sucky some time. They should stop hiring people with no English command at all. With my poor Mandarin understanding and the waiter/waitress' poor understanding of sign language (hahaha), it's quite a mess. Well sometimes we're lucky though, we can get the staff that speaks English (usually they wear black and gold attire.. Watch out) and get served very well.
I still think it's good though.. Just bought my friends to eat there few days ago and they really like it.
I'm a big fan of this cake shop! Even though it's small and kinda hidden in the food court, the cakes are extraordinary and heavenly.
Cakes are kept fresh in their cooling display. They're very attractive! And I just love the packaging. They will give you the cake box and the cake-cutting knife plus the large carrier. It was so easy to bring it back home. The aunties at the stall are also very friendly..
And of courseeeeeee the cake is so heavenly! I bought the cheesecake with oreo base and top, decorated by fresh fruits and white chocolate slices. It was so good! The cake is quite sticky but it's nice! It's not "dry". And the oreo as the base and top is a very deadly combination! A bit sweet, a bit bitter, but nice overall!
This shop stays as my regularly visited shop whenever I need cakes for any occasion.
Beads and Ends is a blogshop selling handmade jewelries including necklaces and earrings. Materials primarily used are imported from US, including non-tarnish wire and swarovski crystals. Even with this excellent quality, beadsandends' price is very affordable.
The owner is very friendly. Once met her during SMU bazaar. Went to the bazaar to pick up my stuff that I ordered online. So funny.. She politely asked me whether I can come to SMU bazaar instead to pick up so that I can waive my postage charges. Of course I agreed. It's like, my school. Hahahaha.
Neeway, during bazaar she was selling hundreds (or maybe more) cheap earrings. Only $2.50 for each pair! Even though they're cheap, as I said she only uses excellent materials and shows excellent wirework skills. Bought many pairs that time to give to my sisters. Hehe.
One flaw though. I hope the website will be more neatly designed. Some banners put are not in equal sizes and some positions are weird.. Also I wish she will put constant and consistent tags/categories to make searching particular jewelry easier.
However all in all, it's a very good blogshop. Check it out.
Snowlights is a good blogshop! Ade creates beautiful jewelry with excellent workmanship yet with a very affordable price! Bought my earrings under $10 and it looks as good as $20 earrings.
I love her wirework! It's so pretty and intricate.. She's already made many unique-shaped jewelry with interesting wirework. (See her website to see...Hehehe) She throws in many cute little things to adorn the jewelry. Butterflies, leaves, picnic basket, and many more.. Totally unique.
The owner is very friendly and will give personalized service. This is important, you know! I find many online shops with "adding to cart" option seems kinda cold and not engaging.. Oh she also wraps the package nicely and gives instruction to care the jewelry (hand-signed by her.. Personalization!).
And have I mentioned that they're cheap?? For excellent wirework and unique juxtaposition of little bits, the price is really a good value.
I think Pasta De Waraku is great, but the price is just not worth it. And there are other things...
My boyfriend and I decided to try Pasta De Waraku in Square 2 after attending a mass in Novena Church nearby. It seems perfect; my boyfriend is a fan of Japanese food and I'm a sucker for pasta.
So we decided to go in and got a table for two. Again it's a thing I hate : the table is too small! And worse still, it was crowded by its enormous menu (as in really enormous, you know!), bottles of pepper and chilli flakes and what-nots, and tissue. Sigh..
Oh and we were greeted by music that seemed to come from "Greatest Hits of the Year 2000" CD. (eeks) Yes, for me music in a restaurant is important to build ambience!
Speaking of ambience, it was so noisy. Maybe because it was quite a closed type. And the staff keep shouting and shouting. "Irasshaimase!" (or something like that) "Arigato Gozaimas!" plus the chattering of the people.. Ugh. My eardrum hurts.
As for the food.. Their emphasis is on healthy food. But I believe healthy food should not be tasteless. It was quite tasteless and uninteresting. I gotta add cheese and oil and any other things. And it's priced so highly!
I'm really not sure that I'm going back again. Not for a very long time I guess.

Just luck, I guess... Hahaha.

I used to go there often too. But their service really cannot make it 99% of the time. So now I hardly visit them.
