BBQ Chicken @ Tampines 1 (Closed)

Chicken seems to be the most popular meat in Singapore. There are so many ways to prepare chicken. You can stir fry, grill, barbecue, steam, bake and the most popular of them all, deep fry. If you love chicken, BBQ Chicken is the place to go for your love of chicken. Before I start my review, let me talk to you more about the restaurant. BBQ Chicken is a chain of casual restaurants that specialises in chicken and it originates from South Korea. There are a wide variety of chicken dishes available here such as fried chicken, pasta with chicken, fried rice with chicken and so much more. In this article, I will be showing you my experience at BBQ Chicken at Tampines 1, a neighbourhood mall located directly beside Tampines MRT Station.

Botak's Favorites @ 5 Changi Village Road

The majority of Singaporeans surely have heard of this chain of coffeeshop stalls called Botak Jones. Botak Jones sells American fare such as steaks, cutlets, Fish and Chips, burgers and so much more and it has become so famous that they have outlets found almost everywhere in Singapore. If a business like that succeeds, what do they usually do? They expand. As of writing, Botak Jones expanded and created other businesses such as Botak's Favorites and Great Big Food. The former is the Halal version of Botak Jones, suitable for Muslims, while the latter is a catering company that usually serves American fare just like its other businesses. For today's article, I will be concentrating on Botak's Favorites, a Halal version of Botak Jones like what I have mentioned earlier. Read on further to find out more about all the mouthwatering food that I have ordered during my visit.

Sengkang Riverside Park and Punggol Waterway Park - Frenzeelo TV Ep. 5

If you live in the north east part of Singapore, especially Sengkang and Punggol, you are lucky to have these 2 great public parks. These 2 public parks are Sengkang Riverside Park and Punggol Waterway Park respectively. The Sengkang Riverside Park is a park located just right beside Sungei Punggol (which explains the name) while the Punggol Waterway Park is located beside a man made waterway in Punggol West.

In the first part of the episode, I talked about the Sengkang Riverside Park. The Sengkang Riverside Park has a lot of interesting facilities and amenities such as the Sengkang Floating Island, which consists of street furniture made to resemble oranges and a giant mangosteen along with some wetland. Other than that, the Sengkang Riverside Park also has plenty of open field for kite enthusiasts who want to fly their kites and jogging tracks for joggers who want to jog with a great view.

In the second part, I discussed about the Punggol Waterway Park. The Punggol Waterway Park is a park with a man made waterway in the middle and it's also part of an ambitious public housing project. There are cycling tracks all over the park, a water play area appropriate for young children along with several uniquely-looking bridges that allow you to cross over the waterway easily and safely. It's also a great park for those who just want to relax and take a breather.

Taman Jurong and Boon Lay Shopping Centres

Shopping malls in Singapore are getting bigger and bigger. In the city, you have ION Orchard, Plaza Singapura and Suntec City. In the neighbourhoods, you have NEX, Vivocity and Jurong Point. These malls are fine but a lot of residents don't really have access to these big malls. It's mainly because there are no bus services going to these places passing by their houses or that the nearest MRT Station is located quite far away. How do these people go shopping? Through non-aircon shopping malls built by the HDB. Every HDB estate in Singapore has at least one non-aircon shopping mall. If they don't, it's probably a town centre or a neighbourhood centre. In today's article, I'll be talking about my visit to two HDB non-aircon shopping malls in the West which are Taman Jurong Shopping Centre and Boon Lay Shopping Centre.
