New member of UNIQLO ^^

I've never really liked to sign up for memberships because:

1. I never really utilised the benefits
2. I always forgot to bring the membership cards along
3. As far as I could remember, i never redeemed any kinda membership points/benefits/perks for almost anything LoLxx
4. I kinda even 'hated' receiving those kinda stamp coupons because they always ended up somewhere in my bag.. wallet.. car... but always never used

But this time round, i actually self-initiated to sign up for UNIQLO's membership because its free and super hassle free! all i needed to do was download the UNIQLO app and i'm a member =) But before we go shopping.. we MUST always fill our stomachs first!



I know that usually for such food, the place to go to would be Kopitiams, hawkers etc. but it definitely isn't true for EAT.

While they are a typical food store chain that has several outlets around Singapore, they serve very very good Fishball Noodles and Satay Beehoon! In fact, there isn't a lot of places that serves decent Satay Beehoon now... But EAT. does a pretty decent job!


Amongst the few side dishes that they serve, the Fish Cake Roll and Fried Beancurd Skin is the best! Personally, i must order them whenever i dine at EAT. coupled with my favourite Kopi~ Heavenly~ =)


Another photo of the Satay Beehoon ~


And as i've posted in my Instagram, I AM HAPPY! ^^

Today was quite a shopping spree for us! Both wifey and I did not go home empty handed =)


Wifey bought her pretty dress from MDS


And i've got the neck warmer that i've been wanting to buy at UNIQLO!

p.s. I did not buy this to 'act'/'look' like a ninja, i bought it because we are going to Hokkaido in Dec! And the temperature over there is gonna be like -10 degrees! Can't wait to travel again!

We were just shopping around at UNIQLO and apart from the merchandises that were on limited offer; there were chino shorts (for men and women) going at $19.90 each and i don't have to elaborate how good the quality of the apparels at UNIQLO are. I chanced upon a signboard that says "For mobile members, price at $29.90!" and that was for a hoodie that i wanted to buy, usual price is $49.90! LoLxxx no need to wait liao~

Just install the UNIQLO app and when you open it, it will prompt you to reg. as a member. Once done, there is a weekly voucher page that shows you the deals of the week. So i just needed to present the eVoucher to the cashier to enjoy the discounted rates!



Wifey also wanted to buy to buy a hoodie and we both saved a total of $40! By just installing that app =) And i kinda like UNIQLO stuff too, and their outlet at NEX shopping mall is pretty huge so.. all the better =)


Heh~ We ended up splurging around $170 at UNIQLO but check out what we bought ^^ A total of 3 berms for me, 2 shorts for wifey, 1 hoodie each and a neck warmer! Super love the berms tooooooo its those kinda super soft material, can wear to 'nua' and also look presentable =)

I really think that UNIQLO's weekly voucher for their mobile members is really cool! no physical membership card required (which i totally hate) and the prices are really affordable! Hopefully when H&M opens at NEX they also got this kinda membership LoLx~ Speaking of which, I can't wait for Seletar Mall to be ready as well!


After all that 'hard work' at UNIQLO, Wifey and I had a mini b'day dinner for my mum at Knuckles, situated near Kovan, just beside Nakkhon Kitchen.


The place is super cosy, so much so that the lightings are only powered by a couple of bulbs and the candles by the tables.. Soooooo poorly lit that my poor Olympus E-PL6 just could get any nice crisps shots of the food and place over there T_T


Not to mention that the place only has 2 ceiling fans (okay... maybe 3?... but still) ... its super duper humid in there! The ceiling fans were moving at like taichi speed can... zzZZz Sweats~


Despite all that, a selfie is still a must =X



I must say that i kinda like their interior design though.. just that...

1. Too warm and stuffy!

2. Too dark! Too poorly lit!

3. Too cramp! Its packed with tables but every table (indoor) can only fit 4 person and there's simply no space to squeeze another table if you have more than 4 pax. The only way is to probably place another chair at either ends of the table... but the person would hafta open their legs really wide =X or else, i really dunno how he/she is gonna sit LoLxx


IMHO, the best dish at Knuckles, and it is ironically Truffle Mushroom Sauce Spaghetti. Nothing to do with Knuckles or whatever hahaHaah.


 The chicken chop... normal...


 German pork knuckles... normal.... in fact... disappointing....


Oh ya.. i forgot about their Pork Steak, this is pretty good though. Which means, there are only 2 main courses that i would recommend, the Truffle Mushroom Sauce Spaghetti and Pork Steak. Thats all~


Erm... not bad but not exactly fantastic =____+


 The Truffle Fries was pretty good but Wifey feels that it is kinda bland, the truffle taste isn't strong enough.


Last but not least, i think this place has a lot to improve on if they wanna survive.. They have a pretty decent location, great staff with good service and nice decorated interior. But those aside, the core of the business, the food and beverage, isn't too well managed and should be paid more attention.

To ease our 'sorrows' we went to Hatter's Cafe for Waffles! =X It's like our 9999 time there already wahaha. No pictures though, i already blogged about it 2 times ^^

Can't wait for our Japan trip!
