I ordered the Char Siu spicy miso ramen. As someone who loves ramen, this ramen isn't bad, but it's not the best.
Eating this ramen made me feel very cozy and warm. However, I didn't like that it wasn't spicy enough. As a spice lover, my go-to ramen option is always the spicy one. Though the broth's lack of spice wasn't a huge disappointment, I thought the broth was very rich and flavorful.
However, for the price, there are better ramen options available. If the spicy miso ramen were spicier, I would really love it.
Side note: I added a lot of the spice powder, but it wasn't spicy at all.
I tried the tonkotsu char siew ramen, and I'd say it's an above-average bowl. The broth is thick and has a rich texture. The ramen itself is also delicious and springy; you won't have any complaints. The add-on, a $4 top-up, comes with a can of drink, two pieces of freshly fried chicken karaage, and some edamame. The total cost is about $15, which is an average price for ramen in a shopping center.
What a delightful hidden gem of a ramen spot! If you're a Japanese cuisine enthusiast, this place is a must-visit. I always have an exceptional experience here – superb taste, premium quality, and fantastic service! Hence my weekly visits!
The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked, and the toppings, like melt-in-your-mouth chashu pork and well-marinated shoyu eggs, are divine.
What's even better is that the prices are surprisingly affordable. You get top-notch quality without breaking the bank; the value for money here is outstanding.
The service deserves a special mention too. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They go the extra mile to ensure a memorable dining experience.
Whether you're a ramen aficionado or simply looking for a remarkable dining experience, this place won't disappoint.
Walked out, forgetting to take my receipt and bonus stamp receipt. I walked back in to retrieve it. No other customers were at the checkout I used earlier, but a staff member had walked away from it and was putting a receipt in the waste paper basket. I “dug” it out (there were only two other receipts in the barely used basket). The staff member said I was lucky she hadn't torn it up.
The issue wasn’t whether it was torn or not; the issue was, where was the bonus stamp receipt that was taken from the bottom of the purchase receipt?
Another experience over the past year:
I was queuing for the checkout counter, with one other person ahead of me. It was 10:28 PM, but seven of the eight checkout counters were already closed. As I was approaching the last one after the previous person was done, the staff member said it was already closed and told me to go to the cashier counter, which had a queue building up. They always closed the self-checkout counters at 10:30 PM, and by that time, only one cashier counter was still open. Of course, I just put the item back and walked off, as it wasn’t the first time I had a bad experience there.
Two other experiences involved being told the NETS machine was already closed at the cashier counter, and another time, that my card wasn't working, although I use it every day and had used it at the same NTUC the day before. Another staff member nearby nodded, indicating it wasn’t working. It was working, by the way, and I know how a POS and NETS machine work. All three previous experiences regarding the POS/NETS being closed were with the same staff member, and it was all around 10:30 PM. What coincidences!
There was also a time when I was looking at the HALAL poultry section and found that there was pork meat placed there. I was there around 10:40 PM at the time, and most of the chilled product lights were switched off or had blinds covering them. This just showed how the staff members switch the lights off and rolled the blinds down without checking.
Of course, there were times when I had a good experience; when I left a bag of groceries behind and was walking back, a staff member actually went out with my bag to pass it to me at the escalator.
The staff at the self-checkout counter is unfriendly, unhelpful, and unreasonable. They refused to assist me and wouldn't let me go to a cashier. They need to understand that not every customer is familiar with how the self-checkout system works.
I was quite shocked to see the condition of this wrap during my visit on May 11th. It was extremely moldy. The best-before date was clearly stated as July 3rd. Could the department staff or branch manager please look into this seriously? Thank you.
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience at the auto checkout facility in your store.
While using the auto checkout, I encountered difficulties, particularly with the payment transaction. Unfortunately, I was not informed that removing items from the machine while making payment could lock the transaction. The staff, who assisted in unlocking the machine, did not provide clear instructions, leading to further issues.
I understand that using the auto checkout may require some familiarity, but it would be greatly beneficial for customers if there were explicit instructions or warnings on the machine itself. Additionally, the staff's response was less than satisfactory, as they became rude and impatient without adequately explaining the situation.
I kindly request that NTUC Canberra Plaza consider retraining its staff to handle such situations with more patience and politeness. Furthermore, providing clearer instructions at the auto checkout machines can prevent misunderstandings and improve the overall customer experience.
I hope for a positive resolution and an enhanced shopping experience at NTUC Canberra Plaza.
"I'm very satisfied with your cashier, Indrani. She's helpful and friendly.
She approached me spontaneously when I was trying to use the "Scan & Go" machine.
Thank you!"
The watermelon wasn't fresh. I bought it on the way home, and when I tried to eat it, I noticed it had already turned sour, so I had to discard the whole piece.
