The Future of Shopping at Ma2 Shop

Vending machine retail is gaining traction in Singapore with new concepts popping up everywhere. Examples include the Vendcafe vending machine cafe in Sengkang and the Giant Vendmart vending machine retail concept at Tampines. Now, a newcomer has arrived called the Ma2 Shop which aims to revolutionise the humble HDB void deck provision shops. Here's the scoop on this interesting retail concept.

Shabu Sushi @ NEX (Update)

Update: Shabu Sushi Restaurant has officially closed as of 1st October 2014

You know what's better than Shabu-shabu cuisine? Shabu-shabu cuisine AND sushi. Yes, it is definitely possible thanks to Shabu Sushi. Shabu Sushi is a buffet restaurant located at NEX, a neighbourhood mall located in the heart of Serangoon. They serve a wide variety of Japanese food which obviously includes Shabu-shabu and sushi. If you don't know what Shabu-shabu is, it's basically a Japanese cuisine whereby there will be thinly sliced pieces of meat along with vegetables boiled in hot broth and served with a variety of dipping sauces. It's somewhat similar to steamboat. I don't think I have to explain what sushi is because that's pretty self-explanatory. Do read on further about my dining experience at this great buffet restaurant.

Allgood Cafe @ NEX

Residents of Serangoon Central will find it difficult to find delicious and affordable food like Fried Rice and Kway Teow as there is no hawker centre nearby. In fact, the nearest hawker centres from Serangoon Central is the Chomp Chomp Food Centre and Serangoon Garden Market and Food Centre which is too far away. However, they don't have to worry because at NEX shopping mall, there is one cafe selling delicious and affordable fried dishes without having the need to go to a hawker centre called Allgood Cafe.

Texas Chicken @ NEX

If you read my blog regularly, I have written a lot of food articles and three of them were about chicken restaurants. Now I'm going to add one more to the list which is Texas Chicken, a fast food restaurant that serves delicious fried chicken and finger foods. Texas Chicken has various outlets around the island and the one that I'm going to feature in this article is the outlet at NEX which is a shopping mall in the north eastern part of Singapore called Serangoon.

6 Best Rooftop Gardens to Visit in Singapore (VIDEO) (UPDATE)

UPDATE: SUNTEC CITY SKY GARDEN AT LEVEL 3 HAS CLOSED DOWN DUE TO THE MALL'S RENOVATION WORKS

When you see the words, 'Rooftop Garden', I am sure you will immediately recognise one of the most iconic rooftop garden in Singapore which is the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark right? Marina Bay Sands isn't the only place with a nice rooftop garden but there are also other places in Singapore where you can visit very nice rooftop gardens with lots of greenery, a water play area, a playground, outdoor shops and so much more. In this article, I'm going to show which are the best rooftop gardens in Singapore in my opinion. Do note that the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark isn't featured because all the rooftop gardens I featured here are free to access.

Memories of the Old Serangoon Bus Interchange

Have you ever visited a bus interchange in Singapore? A lot of people see a bus interchange as just another facility to transfer to buses/MRT, head to the nearest shopping mall/market or just top up your EZ Link card. A bus interchange is more than that. It's where thousands of people rely on for their daily commute, it's where people meet up with friends or family and it's a hang out place for bus drivers. The Old Serangoon Interchange was full of activity and with effect from 3rd September 2011, it has closed down and moved to the new Serangoon Interchange which is integrated with Serangoon MRT Station and NEX Shopping Mall along Serangoon Ave 2.

Fish & Co. @ NEX

After discussing about chicken yesterday at Broaster Chicken, today's post will be targeted towards fish. Fish and Chips is a very popular fried dish. The Fish and Chips dish was created in England and it has been a staple there. In Singapore, there are lots of places that serve fish and chips such as hawker centres, coffeeshops, western food stalls and more. The best one I have tried so far is at Fish and Co. in which their tagline is 'Seafood in a pan'. Fish and co. is a Singapore based seafood restaurant that serves different kinds of seafood such as fish, shrimp and squid. Their signature dish is the Fish and Chips and their restaurants are located islandwide with the flagship outlet located at Park Mall at Dhoby Ghaut.

Broaster Chicken @ NEX (Closed)

Normally I don't write about food so this will be my first time. In addition to articles of Singapore places, my newest addition for Frenzeelo will be food reviews because I love to eat and take photos of the food that I eat. My very first post will be Broaster Chicken which is a new fried chicken fast food restaurant located in a shopping mall at Serangoon called NEX.
