woodlands vs Bukit Timah. by Lost Nomad
My husband and I are looking for a house to rent either in the Woodlands or Bukit Timah. Given that our kids is going to SAS, seems that the Woodlands is probably better. But just to be safe, we would like to see if there is anything that equivalent ...

Hunting For Chicken Rice by JosieQ
Hi, I've just moved to Singapore not long ago and heard about how good chicken rice tasted. I've had the common coffeeshop fare but I think there should be better stalls out there somewhere. Does anybody know where to find the better-quality stalls?
I don't get the deal with chatterbox though. It does not taste that great so as to justify the crazy price you are paying for it. Oh well personal tastes i guess... Read More

Did not know that the one at The Concourse was still open. I went to the one at Gateway Building last week. It is a quiet place to hangout in the evening after the office workers are all gone. Read More

Keeping kids entertained in Singapore by JosieQ
Hi there, Can someone give me ideas on how I can keep my 2 active boys occupied and entertained in Singapore. Apart from getting information from insing.com, which has been a great help, I don't really know where to go? Thanks.
Try Downtown East. They have this eXplorerkid thingy where your boys can rummage and do their boy thing. There is also a small water theme park there called Wild Wild Wet. Read More

There is a place called "Yet Con" in Purvis Street. The place looks like a mafia den and these guys have been making chicken rice since 1970 if I am not wrong. The chilli is just divine! As they say here, "Die Die Must Try!" Read More

I agree, you do have a very valid point. But the problems usually crop up when you want to leave. Then the lack of a proper contract or communication with your landlord can lead to problems. Just my two cents, we are going off topic on this ... Read More

East coast is a great place to live, slightly expensive but has a great expat community. Additional bonus of living near the sea. If you are not so into living in the thick of things, look into older condominiums and flats. They have more space ... Read More

I agree with beppi that property agents can be less than professional in singapore. But if you think that they are bad, landlords can be much worse. The laws in Singapore are very pro-landlord as well. I have moved so many times in singapore and ... Read More

I stay with a Chinese family with Cantonese roots (HK). They told me that Lah comes from both Hokkien and Cantonese. But MY and SG both have adopted it from the Chinese who have settled there. Read More
