Ladyfinger Nail Art Jurong Point

Dear all, 

I am currently fuming with anger! I regularly patronize this nail art shop has suddenly decided to cease operation  on 31 Mar 2015. They did not issue any proper notice. Meaning, they do not intend to call their customers. So they only verbally informed me when I was there last week, 20 March 2015, Friday. Its too ridiculous! I just renewed my package like on January 2015 and their reply with regards to my refund is 

"Good Afternoon,
We have referred to your case regarding the refund of your package. We apologize that we could not refund the package and just to inform you that refund of packages can only be done within 5 cooling days when you signed up for the package. However, you can still go to other outlets to enjoy our services. We hope that you can understand as Jurong Point has limited vacancies available in the mall and we had no choice but to move out of Jurong Point. We will definitely look for locations around the area so that we can still provide services to you conveniently. Again, we apologize and seek for your understanding."

With the nearest location, it makes sense that the customers travel to Jurong Point obviously, why would they travel that far to other outlets which is not even near Jurong. I am utterly disappointed as we were only given verbal short notice! And with such bad service by telling us off with the above? And I have found out that they even sign up customer last week at Jurong branch. It just doesn't help at all! It is far too ridiculous! They already know about the fact that they can't continue with Jurong Point for a while. And they didn't inform or alert their REGULAR customers in Jurong. This is definitely unethical, how could business like this continue?? So what if they close down all others left those in the east? So we bear all these unnecessary hassles at our expenses??? From now onwards, with so many changes in Jurong Point, I would not commit to sign up any packages in Jurong Point, look at the shops, a lot of the shops have moved out.

I will seek alternative help to resolve this matter!!

Felt cheated!

If any kind folks have good solution, do email me! urgently!

Our Founding Father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew

As many have already known that our key founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, has left us for a better place. 
He has been working too hard and he has sacrificed his life well. 
I truly respect his mighty capability and admired his superpower courage and wisdom! 
Not forgetting his clear vision of we are together! Kudos! 

Facts: 
Being a mother of 3, I realised its may seem rather easy managing kids than managing a country! A country is just far beyond the "little me" to reach. Moreover, the 3 kids are driving me cray cray everyday with their nonsensical tantrum and mischievousness. Even with those behaviours, as a mother, with my best effort, I will not stop providing them the best. Despite what you done, at the end of the day, you can't please all of them. That's the reality. 

Our founding father is facing the same problems. Its the saying of "give them an inch and they will take a mile". We are never pleased with our current conditions. We probably never will be. I certainly hope for the best of our country. I was feeling kinda nostagic about the past, about how simple the life was. 

Everything seems good and yet not good. The current Singaporeans can't seem to catch up with fast paced environment. Are we jumping the steps too far? 

Anyways, now that Mr Lee has left us, it's a wake up call to everyone. Let's try to appreciate the current Singapore, work together and continue to maintain the betterment of the life here. 

Rest in peace

Nom Nom in the West

Hi all,

I understand there are heaps of food blogs about yummilicious food such as cafes, restaurants, bistro, buffets and the list goes on and on. I have no idea whether anyone blogs about good food in the west? Perhaps yes, but I have yet to come across any.

Little background story to begin, when I was young, I used to live in the East. Yes, I love the East. No doubts, the East is probably the hippest side of Singapore. However, due to certain circumstances, I have shifted to the North and finally, the West. I used to detest the West. I felt so separated from this world!

When I returned from abroad, as I was away for about 4 years to further my studies, I found myself in the ULU part of Singapore. I was extremely upset as I am literally away from my friends and town. I mean Singapore is not BIG, I know however, not being close to your friends is actually upsetting. You can't meet them as often, you can't go for midnight movie as you wish, I required over an hour travelling time to reach anywhere by public transport. Its just too depressing for me. I felt so isolated and outcast in the ice palace! So eventually, I overcame my frustration, and continue my life living in the West. I have never explore the West, at one point, I can't navigate my way home! Yes, I don't recognise the route.  I hate the West!

So it's been a decade, I have moved on, I have gotten used to the West. In fact, I am working in the West, and have settled down in the West. Now, the West is not like its used to be anymore. Its becoming more vibrant and crowded! There are a lot of malls in the West. You don't have to go down town anymore. Now that's my story.

Anyhow, back to food! Yes, my favourite part. I always wonder and where's all the good food in the West. I usually refer to my GOD a.k.a goggle for reviews and check out on good food which it is easy to commute to. However, it usually requires travelling time even though I'm driving. It still requires approximately 30 mins to town or longer to the East? I mean its not far but its the traffic that is exasperating!! Come on we are living in a bustling city, so everywhere is crowded! And in the city, parking is always a big problem! I can't afford a wasted trip as I made my way there in crave and anticipation but ended up leaving in anger. 

Back to our West side food galore! Yes. Btw, when I said West, I'm referring to literally West! 

So I started exploring the West, to my surprise, there are quite a decent numbers of hidden crazy good food!

Let's start the list from here!

First stop Spicy food:

If you love SPICY food!

1. Chong Qing Hot Pot
502 Jurong West Avenue 1, 640502.

As you enter the carpark, you see a coffee shop on the right. 
That's the one. 
There is a newly built multi-storey carpark around the area.

They have so much on their menu. They always super bz!
We have tried a few dishes and no regrets.
The head chef and kitchen staffs are from China. So I believe its definitely authentic!
The price is reasonable.
I love spicy food, its so yummy and spicy! Nom Nom!
I will definitely revisit the stall again!
My apologies I forgot about the pictures. 

2. Ma La Xiang Guo (麻辣香锅)

S11, near Taman Jurong Shopping Centre.
101 Yung Sheng Rd

If you love those mala 麻辣 xiang guo at those food court, this stall here nailed the taste! 
To be honest, those mala franchise stalls at the food court, are a ripped-off as in price! They charged too much and not as yummy! This particular one fried their own chili paste, its just too yummy! I saw them dicing, chopping and frying the chili mix literally. I chose quite a decent amount of meat, vegetable, bean sprouts, etc with rice at only $12 max. Their long queue never halted and do be patient as they are desperately under-staff. Only a head chef and cashier lady. Annoyingly, the cashier lady is kinda aloof and hostile. So bear with it if you wanna try their food. Expected 30 mins waiting time after 6.30pm.

Their cold dishes 凉菜 are too popular! Many varieties! And the portion is too generous! 

To the fans who love spicy food, you can try this stall if you happen to visit the West!

Till the next stop!
