Forget about kbox and partyworld, Top One is the place to be! It is opposite Bugis Junction and beside Ritz apple strudel. My friends and I went k-ing yesterday afternoon. I must admit, the first impression wasn't too good. The passage towards the lift was hot and dark. A waiter was pushing a trolley full of leftovers out when the lift door opened; both the smell and the sight was awful. Not to mention we have to endure it till the 3rd floor. Even though there is a air freshener in the lift, it doesn't seem to be working. If it IS working, it definitely isn't working well!
Luckily the ambiance of the room made up for all that. If I'm correct, every floor has its own theme. For level 3, I think it is BLACK and PURPLE and FLOWERS. The wallpaper is made up of symmetrical big purple flower patterns.
Since they ran out of small rooms, lucky us gotten a big one despite only having 4 people. There is a small stage at the corner, well-equipped with lights and a tall chair. I tried singing on stage and it feels like having a mini unplugged concert! Plus they have special effects for lightings - bright, soft, laser for the stage and flashing disco lights! Plus plus, they even have the smoke effect! (Warning: There is a LOT of smoke and it smells like vanilla.)
The song system here is not your usual remote control. Instead, they have a complicated-looking machine in front of the stage. Don't be scare off by its looks, this machine is actually pretty simple to operate. After playing around for a while, you should be able to get the hang of it. (Warning: This is NOT a touch screen. I repeat, this is NOT a touch screen.)
