The Sandwich Shop, Robinson Centre

Ms PR had been raving about this place for a while, and in a bid to eat more healthily, I opted to get lunch from The Sandwich Shop.

The Sandwich Shop is marketed at busy professionals who are looking for healthier meal choices, so its 4 branches are located at areas of business.

I got the Fruit Salad ($5), a medley of sweet melons, crunchy apples, tart strawberries, grapes and soft kiwis. Although this was pretty and a fairly big portion, I still felt that its $5 price-tag was too pricey.


The Spicy Thai Prawn Sandwich ($3.90) was definitely more value-for-money. This was freshly made on the spot and packaged in such an innovative way. The prawns were sweet and crunchy and the Thai chili sauce seasoning made this sandwich a pleasantly unique creation.

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...

Ginza Mitsukoshi, Tokyo

You know how in Singapore, we have those food halls in the basements of most shopping malls? There's usually a mix of casual affordable eateries and takeaway counters selling small bites? So, Tokyo has the same thing, except that they do it So. Much. Better. Like the food sold in these depachikas, or 'department store underground mall', is so awesome, and array so extensive and varied, you can actually have a thoroughly satisfying and totally delicious dinner here.  It may be sardine-jammed crowded, but trust me, trawling Tokyo's depachikas for food is worth it. Besides, you're on holiday! So take the time to smell the roses! Or in this case, have a good long look-see. And have fun! Besides, the Japanese are so polite and so, it's not like people are jostling for space anyway. The only trouble we had was that just about everything was written in Japanese, which then begs the question, how on earth were we to know what to buy, right? But, we quickly observed ...

Chijmes Lei Garden Restaurant

We had brunch here over the weekend. We'd woken up late in the day and decided on the spot that we felt like some dim sum for lunch. That's the thing when you aren't bogged down with kids, you get to do things on your own time and whim, without the somewhat autocratic routine that's part of the package of having kids. Which is why I always tell my friends who are yet to have kids to enjoy their "freedom" as much as they can, because all that is moot when the kids come along. That's the single biggest thing that changes your life. Marriage doesn't change a couple's life as drastically as when the kids come along. Suddenly, it's not just about you 2 anymore, because everything centres around the kids and everything you do is for the kids. It's amazing how one tiny little tot decides your entire life, doesn't it? This is why we're really indulging in ourselves, watching all the TV we like, waking up as late as we do and taking all th...
