「 Ms Da Yakking Away At 6:03 pm 」
0 freaking screams!

Wakashachiya and Helipad

Met up with a bunch of close friends for dinner and drinks at The Central yesterday. An early birthday celebration for my gf, Jo, whose actual birthday falls on next Tuesday. Don't you hate it when your birthday falls on a weekday which is not Friday? Ok, I've digress. First up.. Wakashachiya Curry Udon @ The Central 3rd floor



Pretty good comments were given on websites like hungrygowhere.com and yebber.com. But I guess sometimes such comments cannot be trusted entirely. Firstly, the food selection is limited. Perhaps this restaurant specializes in curry udon so more than 3/4 of the menu are curry + udon. Ebi Tempura curry udon, Katsu curry udon, Fried Salmon curry udon etc.

Secondly, the food wasn't really that fantastic. Personally, I think the curry taste a bit like mashed potato gravy and the udon is a little too firm for my liking. Their side orders such as unagi eggrolls and unagi riceballs are only so so.

Lastly, poor service. We waited for almost 15 mins for our tea to be served. And I think they mixed up our orders. I don't think they have enough staff for the Saturday dinner rush.

Final verdict: Well, it's just... Curry Udon, lor. Next up.. Helipad @ The Central 5th floor



Tucked away at a corner on the 5th floor carpark, Helipad is a 2-level fresh lounge concept bar. The entrance is pretty unique. When I saw the lift door, I thought we have to take another separate lift to reach the bar. To my surprise, the door actually opens up directly to the main entrance of Helipad. o_O



The first level features an indoor area with spacious seating, warmly-lit atmosphere and a central DJ console set playing smooth lounge beats. Framing the interior is a gigantic mesh structure forming a masterpiece that hovers above the DJ console.

The second level is a rooftop area where you can enjoy the magnificent landscape of the city skyline.

Final verdict: A nice place to relax and chill out after work or on weekends.
