Fantastic restaurant with a cozy and comfortable interior. Quiet floor in Ginza Six mall. Beef bourguignon is to die for, and the coffee was also very nice. Only point of improvement is the butter served with the bread. The butter is too cold and hard, doesn't melt easily on the bread and therefore hard to spread. Minor issue.

Very underrated museum that covers the immense and equally underrated contribution of the Jewish community in Singapore. The exhibition was incredibly informative, albeit very "text-heavy" for the individual exhibits. Expect to read a lot of well written bios and other lengthy narratives. Kosher market upstairs was open on the day we visited, which was a great browsing experience — some very high quality kosher produce and wine to be found there.

I went here to have a valuable emerald tested and appraised. I was served by the founder, Mr. Tay Thye Sun — he is someone with decades of experience, who has been published in many gemological journals, and sits on the board of various international gemological associations. Mr. Tay Thye Sun conducted all of the required tests right before my eyes, which in itself is exceptionally rare, as most vendors will take your stone(s) and run tests elsewhere, out of sight. At Far East Gem Lab you are able to look over the shoulder of Tay Thye Sun himself, as he conducts his tests; moreover, he will explain the reason and objective for each test. Going in, I knew some details about my emerald (carat weight, country of origin, and a price range), but did not disclose any of my prior knowledge to him. So my confidence in his abilities was strengthened once he had completed the test and independently corroborated a lot of what I already knew. No tricks! He was done within an hour. Cost $300. Accepts cash or Pay Now. Very professional, pleasant office space, and ISO certified lab – everything you could wish for.
