Guest Xfilemanx2001 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 hey.. ako rin.. m goin to singapore early dec.. where can i find very cheap electronic shops? about the red light district, sulit ba? :evil: if you guys hv any useful info, pm nyo naman ako! thanks.. much appreciated<{POST_SNAPBACK}> US still has the best prices when it comes to electronics. But you can try Sim Lim Tower. Haggle hard if you are serious, but you cannot back-out if they agree with your price. Orchard Tower has a lot of Thai "weekenders"; Philippines still has the best deals. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment

clipperjune Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ^^^ Pre ingat na lang sa pagbili sa Sim Lim, minsan ibinebenta nila eh yung sinoli na at me defect. Magwowork for 2 weeks tapos bibigay. Problema eh yung warranty eh local lang hindi international so you have to ask a friend who is in singapore to bring your gadget to a local service centre. Happened to me 3 times, malaking abala para sa akin hehehehe. Ingat din sa practice nang mga shops na nagpapackage deal sila. For example sa camera papayag nang mababa pero you have to buy a memory card (overpriced). Hindi tutoo na pag pumayag sa price eh hindi ka na puwede mag backout. Puwede naman umalis sa shop eh, ilang beses ko nang ginawa. Medyo bastos ang mga tao sa shop lalo na pag pinoy kasi mahilig tayo tumawad . Always ask kung included na yung GST sa price pero puwede mo naman irefund yung tax sa airport. Ingat din sa orchard towers, madaming tranny dun hehehehe. Pati hindi safe dahil undocumented sila, walang health clearance unlike sa geylang meron. Quote Link to comment

clipperjune Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 ^^Sitex ata yung sinasabi mo, ongoing na sya. Pero hindi ko alam kung sa Expo or sa Suntech convetion centre. Kung bibili ka rito always ask kung anong klaseng warranty meron sila, I think it would cost you more kung international warranty ang gusto mo. Tungkol naman sa red light district, ang pagkakaalam ko sa geylang is walang local, either thai, indo-chi, or malay-chi, or mainland-chi ang naroroon. Kung gusto mo nang exotic try mo Indian hahahahaha. 20-50 SGD ang damage. Quote Link to comment

lomex32 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Reading mosts of the posts here does not conform to Hidden Secrets in Singapore ....Most mentioned here can be find from travel guides ..... Let me share real hidden secrets 1. Pulau Dayang or Pulau Rawa one of them has a hidden hangar for VTOL airplanes. Military personnel are on duty 24 hours a day, Indians are duty on CNY holiday, Malays take the duty on Deepavali and chinese personnel will be on duty on Hari Raya..... 2. On the northeast, Changi village you will find a lot of Singaporean and/or Thai transexuals. 3. You can also find pickup girls on some of the lesser malls. Example ... on West Mall, Bukit Batok area, there is a coffee shop on the left side, there are Malay girls who are looking for action just outside it towards the car park. There is a mall with pick up girls also near Paya Lebar, City Plaza is the mall's name. 4. Aside from Geylang, Desker road red light district areas, there are places that are as kinky but discreet... Keong Saik proximate to Chinatown and Tanjong Katong further east ...... 5. There are f**k houses also in HDB's and Condo's as they house Girls or gays. So far na confirm ko na meron ay Woodlands, East Jurong, Boon Lay ...... They use the internet to sell their services or they subcon from Escort agencies. 6. Aside from the mainstream Sim Lim, there are shops that are equally prices or even lower somewhere in DOVER road almost close to Holland V for Digital cameras and Videocameras. And many more Quote Link to comment
Hottie_Babe Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Well, ako sa mga HAWKER centers lang ako kumakain. Hehehe. Sabi nila certified naman daw sa kalinisan sila. Pero talagang mahawak sa pagkain yung mga CHINESE at di naman nila nililihim. Kasi makikita mo na hinihiwa sa harap mo (chicken o pork). Tapos kung kaya ng powers mo at gusto mo Indian Food, punta ka sa may Serangoon, pero talagang malalakas ang amoy ng mga siopao (INDIAN) na matatanda. At pede ka mamili sa MUSTAFA sa Serangoon, open sila 24 hours. BUT I STRONGLY SUGGEST, to go there ng hatinggabi at walang masyadong mga SIOPAO. Dahil kahit sa perfume section, ay palaban yung natural scent ng mga siops. Tapos ang gusto ko rin pinapapak yung BAKWA. Smoked o cured pork belly strips ata yun, may spicy, kinikilo siya. SAra nun. Basta ako kung saan matao dun ako kumakain. Hahaha. Bukod sa mga pork rice, chicken hainenese, char siew, ini-explore ko rin yung iba sa HAWKER..yung MEE SIAM gusto ko siya. Parang palabok na may sabaw, na sobrang anghang, merung shrimp paste, may pagka maalat. SARAP NIYA. Nung nagtagal ako dun, hindi ako nag ta-TAKASHIMAYA at PARAGON Plaza, hehehe. For obvious reasons, na wala ako pambili designer clothes. Usually pag may mga tiangge stalls sa harap ng TAKASHIMAYA dun ako. O kaya may mga tiangge malls sa harap ng mga malls sa bawat community. For example, nung pumunta ako TIONG BAHRU PLaza, may mga stalls sa labas, bebenta ng shoes galing Bangkok o China na mga $15 lang. Sabagay kahit dito naman sa Greenhills lang ako namimili. Haha. Tsaka sa 168. Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Try Fried Prawn mee sa Clementi, this is closest you get to palabok/malabon.3X a week lang ang open at palagi marami tao. Kayanin kaya ng powers mo ang Herbal Soup shops na meron din Turtle soup, corocodile soup ....or at least Bah Kut Teh man lang. Napupunta ka na rin lang sa Tiong Bahru, try mo na rin ung famous na Tiong Bahru Pao. Ingat din sa Peke... Well, ako sa mga HAWKER centers lang ako kumakain. Hehehe.

tocilog Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 fyi lang, one of the cheapest places to eat in spore is at the bus terminal on the hill fronting the entrance to sentosa...the best hainanese chicken can be found here, mura na, masarap pa!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> KOREK KA JAN!!!

lomex32 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Allow me to disagree to both of you... The best hainanese chicken rice and as attested in Strait Times and Food reviews can be found in Geylang hawker stalls. Stalls were engaged in chicken wars sometime back wherethey sell chicken rice for only S$ 1.00 ! The competition is/was so tough .....No chiken rice stalls have duplicated this feat. The price leveled up to S$ 2 hey, i enjoyed sentosa...dahil siguro libre ang stay namin sa shangri-la! fyi lang, one of the cheapest places to eat in spore is at the bus terminal on the hill fronting the entrance to sentosa...the best hainanese chicken can be found here, mura na, masarap pa!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> KOREK KA JAN!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment

I used to eat there at least once a month. The best Chicken Biryani in all of Singapore! But you're right. Kung kaya ng powers mo. One week after ka kumain nun, dinidighay mo pa yung spices...ang the smell kinda sticks to you for a few days.... Muthu's (tama ba ang recollection ko?) is more popular among tourists and "ang moh" expats but IMHO, it's a watered down version of the real thing. The rest of the Indian restos around the Orchard Area are bogus. Pang-turista lang yan who don't know any better... Edited February 16, 2006 by Magaling Quote Link to comment

Ususallyyou have to fall in line to get it. The food in Holland Village has always been reputed at very good inSingapore. The one in Toa Payoh is at Lorong 5. Very expenisve though and not worth the price because there are good chicken rice in singapore with much lower price Quote Link to comment

Literally thousands of themover the whole of Singapore. The internet is not safe even. Using internet to sell your services is playing with fire. And when you are caught, it is doomsday. You are finished! Literally finished!I came back once from a flight from Singapore to Manila. Before the plane took off, a lady was escorted to my seat and handcuffs were taken off from her hand. So what I am saying is whenyou break the law, don't think that people are not watching. Just be extremely careful. Extremely careful. Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Friend ..... Thanks for telling me something i already know ....

Seen someone getting the "stroke of the cane"?Withdraw a large sum of money or encash a large check, Big Brother calls the bankand the account assignatories and they surely ask WHY?Careful....careful.... careful..... Try reading the logbook (not the visitor's logbook, the other one) at the Philippine Embassywhere the Indian guard logs down criminal incidents and alike .....Try talking to the Labor attache and get real stories as such ....Fine City is it not? :thumbsupsmiley: Friend, Let me advise you.
