K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet @ Orchard Central

K.Cook Korean BBQ Buffet is where we had dinner while bidding farewell to our colleague Boon Kiat, who came in similarly as a GRDP trainee with most of us, went through the highs and lows with us.

Located at the 7th level of Orchard Central, the dining experience is further enhanced with a rather scenic view of skyscrapers at an altitude, since we all know the experience won't be pleasant having dined at a Korean BBQ buffet restaurant. XD

Having noticed most of the waiters idling made me wonder if they were overstaffing, so I gave them some tasks to do, like asking them to help taking photos of us. LOL...

The entrance at Level 7


They got a huge screen showing some Korean shows with Korean idol groups whom I have no idea who they are, singing songs that I have no idea what they are.

Don't you think their colorful chairs are very harmonious?


The indoor, catered to couples



Try their crispy Korean pancakes and honeyed chicken wings




Free flow of drinks



Girls, tie your hair up before they get super oily











The Centrepoint, located at the northeast of the restaurant


Orchard Gateway @ Emerald, located the the northwest of the restaurant




All the best Boon Kiat! (he's the one on the left who looks like Andy Lau)

Sakura International Buffet Restaurant @ SAFRA Jurong

SAFRA Jurong

My company, Cameron runs this Engage To Excel event quarterly to ensure that every department commits to teamwork through team bonding activities.

I joined the Quality Control department since July 2015 and I was kinda assigned to organize one for this last quarter. To be honest I suck at organizing events and so the best option for me is to go for lunch/dinner as a group and that's it.

We did gather opinion from the shop to get feedback and well, having dinner at Sakura International Buffet has the highest vote so we went ahead for that.

It's $42.80 (incl. GST) per adult for dinner on a weekend because we went on Sunday so that more shop floor employees are able to make it. You can find out their rates at the Suki Group website.

It's located at the north corner of the club, but that's not the main entrance.


Turn left after passing the main lobby and you'll find the main entrance

And my favorite sushi bar

Coney Island, Singapore

West Entrance of Coney Island

It was a short Sunday getaway at Coney Island (also known as Pulau Serangoon).

As it's located near Punggol, no way we're gonna travel there by public transport, we cabbed there.

Visiting the island has become a trend this few weeks/months (friends visiting too, random people sharing posts/articles about Coney Island recently), owing to the fact that it was officially opened to the public not long ago on 10 October 2015 by the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Khaw Boon Wan. It's said that before that, there's a "NO ENTRY" sign at the island entrance.

The island has two entrances, one due west and the other due east. From The Punggol Settlement, we entered the island from the its West Entrance. We only managed to visit approximately 40% of the island, having no bicycle. Therefore I'd recommend that you rent a bicycle from Punggol Point Park and ride into the island for a vaster coverage.

So how did Coney Island get its name? I learnt that the island inherits rich history, after reading a few articles and blog entries, where one of them is from Remember Singapore. It was once owned by the Haw Par Brothers in the 1930s, but sold to Ghulam Mahmood, an Indian businessman in the 1950s. He then named the island after the Coney Island amusement park in Brooklyn, New York, with the intention of transforming the island into a pleasure resort.

According to a news article from The Straits Times, on 4 April 1950, the island 'is to have facilities for swimming, boating, fishing, all kinds of outdoor and indoor sports, a skating rink, and will contain a main building with a restaurant and bar, a dance hall and rooms', alongside with six cottages for honeymoon couples or families. Wow...
