Yah, that's the one. Quite nice leh, MGS4 $19, super worth it.


eh ... in my opinion tokyo food is on par price-wise with singapore food leh. For example just now lunch I go Fish & Co eat one fish n chips and drink already sgd21 = 1300Yen. If you look around in tokyo ... got rice bowl places at 300-400yen (sgd5-6), and lower-end restaurants also around 1000-1500yen (sgd15-25) ...

... but having said that, oh maaaaan the おまかせ set at sushi dai and daiwa sushi at tsukiji was especially the oo- and chuu-toro ... come back here cannot get liao

You can get pretty good airflown sushi in SG, places like Kuriya for instance. But it's going to be expensive.

For ramen on the other hand, somehow it doesn't translate as well overseas. The anywhere, off-the-street, no pre-planning ramen I had in Japan beats the expensive ramen at Ippudo in Mandarin Gallery.

the best sushi I had so far outside Tokyo is Shima at Goodwood Park. Price is reasonable, considering they air flown all their stuff, even the wasabi plant. The best ramen is of coz in Hokkaido, Sg closest is the one at Novena.

Should i get the HTC Evo 3D in Comex or should I get it in Malaysia?

I wonder given HTC Evo 3D vs SGS2, which phone u guys prefer?

How much is it at Comex?

Malaysia is always cheaper off the shelf without plan, if you don't have a special deal/price in SG. I bought my SGSII in Ipoh for RM2099 when it was launched. SG was selling it for S$998.

Dunno... I'm used to Samsung's implementation of Android. I haven't seen the Evo 3D's screen, but the SGSII's Super Amoled Plus is pretty hard to beat. My iphone fanboy colleagues turn their iP4s face down at the lunch table. iP3s get put back into their pockets.

samsung note? hehehe....

s2 seems cool... although a little toyish due to the use of plastic for its enclosure.. was told it hangs at times as well... hmmm

have not seen the evo yet.... but i think s2 can be a safe bet

It's super light though... very easy in the pocket despite the huge screen.

With Android, it's typically an issue with the app rather than the firmware or hardware.

Is Kuriya located in Raffles CIty?
Btw, I did a search, there's one Kuriya at Bangsar Shopping Centre (KL). Is it the same one?

Added on September 3, 2011, 9:49 pmAmong the sushi outlets i've tried so far, Ithochu Sushi looks the best with lots of variety and creative sushi offerings.
I'm comparing among outlets like sushi tei and ichiban sushi, which are more expensive than sakae sushi, best not as expensive as the fine dining type jap restaurant recomended above earlier.
Any further recomendation for places with variety of fresh sushi?

They have a few outlets. My colleagues usually go to the one at Great World City or Orchard Central.

Kuriya's Webpage

No idea.

This isn't sushi... but is what we never fail to order each time. Kinki or Japanese Rockfish. This kind of stuff I only eat if Ah Kung's paying.

I saw Samsung S2 selling at 899SGD at Plaza Singapore Samsung outlet today.

It says today is the last day of the promotion.

I have seen the screen display quality for EVO at COMEX, it is very good and bright enough due to using qHD technology vs super AMOLED + from Samsung, but i tend to lean to HTC more due to its HTC Sense offering.

and HTC also have larger resolution compare to the SGS2. But no doubt, both phones are high tech phones rite now in the market.

Compare the screens side by side, if possible using the same media. Brightness is useful under the sun, but you'll almost never use it indoors as the battery life is atrocious. I go more for clarity and how pleasing it is to the eye. Google yielded: E!Gadget and Super Amoled Plus vs qHD.

In any case, you sound partial to the HTC. So get it lor, cause apart from the hardware, it's also the user experience. Let me know how you like it... my Starhub contract is due for renewal by the end of this year. I'm itching to know how 3D photos taken by twin cameras turn out.

Guys, where is the best place for me to convert RM to SGD. Or anyone here would like to change with me?

I'm going back hometown next week, was thinking to get some moon cake for family but I heard it is somehow expensive to get from Singapore? Any better suggestion ?

Owned a SGS with the amoled screen, as a photographer the color look way over saturated to me.

However the pixel density is lower for sgs2 compare to iphone 4 , sgs , or sensation which you will see some pixelize.

As for the qlcd view angle it is lesser compare to both amoled and ips but do you really need to put ur phone at >150 degree when you use your phone? in fact many user bought a privacy screen protector from 3M to reduce the view angle.

about the chassis of both phone, i prefer something feel "solid". both sgs and sgs2 felt plastic to me. but don't get me wrong, they are hard plastic i drop my sgs from 3feet and it is still fine.

sgs 2 is 100 dollars more too.

Therefore I got myself a second sensation from comex today with a free pair of concert ticket + 4gb android toy usb (lol)



but i will never go back to comex again, way too crowded.

Get it from here instead:

$775.00 for local warranty unlocked set....

Wah, why so cheap wan? izit an AP set? I think it is warrantied by local shop instead of Samsung or HTC itself.

The FAQ says it's a local warranty. But to be a locally warrantied set, it has to be obtained from Samsung Singapore. However, there's no logic why Samsung would give a much lower cost price to them, competing with the 3 telcos and their own exclusive dealers. Reading their trade in policy where they pay more for trade in sets which are still within the warranty period... my guess is that they refurbish trade in sets that are <1 year old and buy a warranty extension up to 1 year from Samsung when they sell it.
