Restaurant Review: La Braceria Pizza and Grill5 Greendale Avenue289501 Singapore6565 5918This review is gonna be a short one, just as our meal at La Braceria was relatively short. La Braceria is located int he Greenwood suburbs, close to 6th Avenue and Greenwood Avenue. The place is relatively small and well hidden in a cluster of shophouse restaurants. If you don't know the location of this little Italian place, better print out directions for your cabbie, as ours only had a rough idea of how to get there and only thanks to my companion's knowledge...

Restaurant Review: Al Hamra - Lebanese & Middle Eastern Cuisine in Holland Village23 Lorong Mambong Holland Village Singapore 277682+65 6464 8488 On Sunday night, I went to Al Hamra in Holland Village to try this Lebanese restaurant, as so far I had only gone to Al Quasr at the very end of Lorong Mambong. Surprisingly, especially for a Sunday night and the hustle and bustle in Holland Village, the restaurant was only half-full...

Restaurant Review: BBQ Box @ Geylang/ Kalang MRT103 Geylang RoadSingapore 389212BBQ Box is a very simplistic, Chinese-style barbeque place located in Geylang, about 3 minutes walk from Kallang MRT on Geylang Road. Looking in from the outside, you might not be too impressed, as the interior is nothing to write home about, especially the tables/benches remind me of old railway cars with wooden seats and dividers.For a Geylang eatery, BBQ Box is not cheap and you can get lower priced meals around the corner. However, even on a weekday, this place...

Using the Better Business Bureau to resolve complaints against unauthorized Linked-In credit card chargesA few months back, I signed up for a premium account on Linked-In with the intention of using the Premium features for the period of one month. As I wanted to avoid being billed for more than once, I immediately cancelled the Premium feature and the system indicated that the period I would have the added features available was 30 days. As you can see, this is not the first time I subscribe to an online service and I am quite familiar with the...

Restaurant Review: The Green Bar9 Raffles Boulevard #01-9BMillenia Walk, S039596Tel.: 6336-0780Opening hours: 11.30am - 8.30pm Yesterday, I had lunch at The Green Bar in Millenia Walk, Suntec City. As the name indicates, this place is mostly about healthy food and salads, but on weekends they also offer all-day brunches with "less healthy food". My colleagues and I all went for the healthy salad option, with slight variations. Personally, I had a...

Negotiation Strategies for SMEs in Singapore As I mentioned previously, the SME I work for is moving offices. In my dealings with other Singaporean contractors and salespeople I had noticed that the usual approach here, in my opinion, is to rip the customer/client off. It might not be as bad in Singapore as it is in China or other parts of Asia, but I have the impression that it is harder to find a trustworthy counterpart than it is in say Europe or the US.From our dealings with businesses in Singapore, we learned some very valuable lessons that...

Choosing a fibre provider in Singapore for a SMERecently, my company decided to move offices and thus we had to find a new broadband provider. Surprisingly, and unbeknownst to many, Singapore has more broadband providers to offer than just Singnet, Starhub and M1net. The country is currently rolling out its Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN), with service providers "starting to offer services and products that can leverage the ultra high speeds delivered over the network." A list of such Next Gen NBN providers can...

Kayak Rental at Bedok ReservoirBedok Reservoir has a very bad reputation in Singapore due to the amount negative events taking place there. Be it suicides, accidents, violent crimes or "wild dog attacks" Bedok apaprently has got it at. Despite all these horrible things happening there, I went to Bedok for a bit of kayaking and to move my rusty old bones a bit.The reservoir itself is not exactly tiny, but it's by no means huge. The jogging route around the water measures about 5km in length, to give you an idea. Besides kayaking, you can also spend...
