Went there on 19 May 2024 as my Jordans were hurting me and I desperately wanted the Pierre Cardin chunky shoes in black. I love Pierre Cardin as they make my size, which is a 3. I also wear a 4/5 depending on the make.
Unfortunately the size 3 was unavailable and the closest size they had in black was a 4. They had a size 3 but in brown. Anyway I opted for the black, size 4.
Also got a Giovanni sneaker and an Unreal slip on sneaker which is super comfy and the size 4 fit.
The sales rep who assisted was really friendly and offered to take the tag off the shoes that I wanted to wear then and there.
They had several cute boots for winter but I already have plenty of boots lol.
Went there for lunch on 24 November 2023 and sat inside. Friendly staff and affordable prices.
I had the Fushion box and a salmon handroll. Those crispy salmon rolls are delicious. I was full afterwards. The waitress informed me that the salmon handroll isn't on the menu but they do make it.
The Sushibox lemonade is a winner too.
Definitely try them out, the wait is worth it.
Beantree Cafe at SPAR
2023 May 10
Went there on the morning of 9 May 2023. There were 3 tables occupied and lots of available seats. We asked the lady at the counter whether we should order or will someone come to us if we just go sit. She informed us to take menus and she will come to us. You couldn't miss us as we were the only younger looking clients with a spar trolley. As we were waiting, we see her attending to another table, carrying a cup and saucer to the table. We waited and waited, no eye contact or communication. We even saw an older gentleman walk in, speak to the lady at the counter and when we left, he too left.

Not sure if this place only caters to the old/pensioners because thats the type of customers seen, when we entered. If they were understaffed, some communication would have been helpful as we asked how it works regarding ordering as it was our first time.

We felt uncomfortably and left because who knows how long we would have waited for whatever we ordered. I took pictures of the menu for your convenience.
Harvest Cafe

Went there for breakfast on 29 January 2023. You order and pay infront and can sit anywhere. They bring your food and drinks to you. I was full after my breakfast (it looked small but it was a lot). I'd recommend this place.
Obi Restaurant
2023 Jan 17
Went there for dinner on 14 January 2023. Called them at 6h45pm to make sure that they're not fully booked if we were to pitch up. The lady on the phone advised me that they are fully booked and I could perhaps provide my details to be placed on the waiting list as there was already one table on the waiting list. This was fine as I was aware that they might be busy. I told her I'll call at 7h30 pm to find out whether a table might have opened up and she assured me that all is in order. I called at 7h12pm to ask again whether a table might have opened up because according to their website they close at 8pm. I was informed that the kitchen closes at 9pm and if I were to be there "now" I can be seated. We were 15 minutes away and I told her I'll see her in 10 minutes. She was very polite and understanding. We were a table of 4. When we got there there were 4 tables available and we got seated. At first it seemed that it was unnecessary for her to have told me that they are full seeing as there were 4 tables available of which 2 could easily sit 6 people, however after a few minutes (like 30/45 minutes) in those tables were indeed taken. The section of the restaurant was indeed full and busy.

We sat down and our waitress was friendly, helpful, interactive and made us feel at ease. The service was great as our drinks arrived swiftly. After we provided our food order the food came swiftly as well. The service was amazing. The food was enjoyable and worth it (I had the standard shushi). We were stuffed. The plum Sake is a must. Papa San makes excellent sushi.
