When I am craving for herb duck, this is the place I won't mind to que for 20 mins. Shi quan roast duck is the best. You can request for extra sauce from them. But realise that the outlet in Vivo City will charge me extra $1 if I request for this extra bowl of sauce where this never happen in other outlet. Strange double standard, when I questioned to the waitress, she just mentioned is new policy. I will visit to DXE in T3 outlet soon enough to find out this new policy.
Another must try dish is their gu chou steam fish. Remind me of how my mom prepare the sliced steam fish also. The ingredient no doubt are rich.
Nothing too special for their soup as it cost about $7 for one person portion.
Early bird enjoy some discount, but I can't remember how much cause I never an early bird for dinner.
I remember my in-law have order their duck for the CNY dishes, the earlier you order, the lower price you will get. Hope they continue this promotion for the next CNY.
I won't comment much on their pricing as I am not those details type of person.
There are two pros point which make me go there and shop for my grocerries.
1) They open till 12am in the night, for those who work till late and need to get some last minute shopping for next day, this is very convenient as Fair Price closed at 10pm.
2) Free Carpark!!
But I don't like their cashier que.. is way too long during the weekend evening. And some of their cashier from China can't even speak simple english. There's once, this cashier speak Mandarin all the way to a Indian customer all the way, and is funny to see that Indian aunty ponder with tonnes of question mark for that moments! Maybe they thought all ppl in SG can understand Mandarin include our Malay and Indian friends.
TM have all the good food under one roof for those staying that area without travelling far to the city area. I would say their shopping are good enough for me at the moment unless if you are talking about brand like LV... at least you can find the normal high street brand in this mall.
But i feel their parking are quite expensive (getting more expensive) for a far east mall like TM. Not sure how the Capital Land
I like their Starbucks atmosphere where I can just sit outside, at least there are still quite some distance from the main road.
As I always travel to KL in a monthly basis, I would highly recommend Transtar Travel! I have tried others coach service as well, but so far only Transtar manage to make me stay on with their service.
For those frequent traveller on Transtar like me, I would suggest that you can apply for their transtar world card ( 2 years for $10) as well to get the 10% discount. This transtar world card also can you to earn point to redeem free tics as well. I think you can earn those point form coffee bean also. Details can be search thru their official website.
Not all their First Class coach have power supply on board, but for premium Class (double deck), you can surely find the power supply just next to your seat. Not sure why pay more yet sometimes you might not get the power supply for First Class Coach. Also I don't think they wash (clean) their blanket where you can feel the smell. Normally I just used it to cover my lower body. :P
Afterall, unlike old coach, they are not smelly, they are comfortable, and I would say that I don't need to go thru the hassle of travelling to airport at least 45 mins before, then one hour flight, then waiting for luggage, then another 45 mins journey to KL downtown if by flight. After all it does worth $58 (with 10% discount is $52) for those extra perks rather than buy tics from Larkin Station.
Normally I will have my departure from Transtar Golden Mile Branch.
Last week, I manage to have my departure from their Kitcher Complex. And I was impress with their waiting lounge. Equipt with magazines and newspaper. Their staff are extremely friendly as well. They will always ask you any coffee, tea and their hot choc is nice!
Biscuits and small cake are available if you need some quick munch.
There are also one big space of waiting area infront of their office if someone else are suppose to pick/drop off the passenger. Unlike their Golden Mile Branch where limited space for waiting unless you wait at the opposite HDB Carpark.
Bobosaid: :) what about pricing and the bus itself? You do seem like a happy customer though :) 17 Aug 2008 at 6:03 pm
samantha_yeisaid: Normally I take First Class from SIN-KL, return ticket cost me $104 after the 10% discount if you have the world card discount card. Premium will be about $10 cheaper if I am not wrong. 17 Aug 2008 at 9:37 pm
