Hee hee... quite true most of the stuff that are good are unhealthy at the same time... but they still taste so good! :drooling:

hehe. Yes Hoshi, it's true. The restaurant in IMM is called 'Hoshi'... don't you act innocent... it belongs to you right? C'mon.. give us some discount over there. I often eat there.. :) The food's not bad really.

*gasp* How do you know? I like Japanese food too much already so I opened a restaurant and employed a Japanese chef to cook......... NOT!! Hahahahaha.... But if it's really my restaurant then yeah, of course I'll give you all a discount!

Well, I don't go IMM frequently and the last time I went there was to eat at kfc with friends... :sweat: Where is it? Maybe I go and have a look myself! :mrgreen:

you know what... I'm not very sure myself. it has been a long time since I went. I think it's near... Bukit Batok ... I think I think I think...

might be a bit off topic. I have a friend in Singapore that wants to buy english subtitled korean dramas like winter sonata and beautiful days. Does anyone here kow of a store that carry english subtitled korean stuff.
She only knows of the chinese subtitled one and her chinese isnt very good. anyhelp is appreciated...
(oh, if theres a post similar to this, feel free to redirect me to it) :)

Arnel
Yesasia stocks some Eng subbed Korean dramas. Winter Sonata on dvd features Eng subs http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-1002906245/did-0/code-c/section-videos/. Looks like it's sold out, will prolly be restocked soon since it's a sold out item, hehe.

thanks, I'll tell her that...

bottled orchids?...eh ...i havent seen them before ...what is it like?real orchids in glass bottles? :rolleyes2: where can u buy it? I havent seen them ard before :(

Well, for guys maybe you can get ties... If I'm not wrong some tourist spots like Taka or the new DFS opposite Far East sell ties with orchid motifs on it. And for the young ladies maybe you can get scarfs or little tot bags made of the Singapore Airlines uniform cloth... (this is subjected to whether your relatives and friends like the cloth design or not.. :sweat: ) If not you can always get them T-shirts or stationary with the airline cloth design on.

I think the souvenirs for tourists are most common in the Orchard area... the new DFS building opposite Far East is a really good place to get local souvenirs for tourists. You can check that place out. I went there when the shop just opened and believe me... most tourists will stop by to shop before going back to their countries... it's big (I think they have 3 or 4 floors), and it's not called the Duty Free Shop (DFS) for nothing ;)

some tourist spots sell those, or u can go those orchird farms in mandai or wherever... yep, its real orchirds, in a small little air sealed bottle with all nutrient essentials in that little bottle,, can last like dat for up to a year or 2, u can take it out of the bottle to grow into a potted orchird after that

one sells for $3 (small), $10 (med) $20 (big).. i bought a big one, hehe.. the small one i bought 3 yrs ago is still kicking in the bottle

[image] doubt anywhere else on earth sells such stuff, unique gift :P
