Introduction:
Snooker Zone (TPY) is established at 2004. The 7180 square feet salon is air-conditioned has 14 Original Riley Aristocrat Snooker Tables imported from UK using 6811 Tournament Cloth and 11 9 feet American Pool Tables using Joss (A588) running cloth. The tables and cues are well maintained and hence are at their tip top condition so that players will be able to perform to their utmost. They have 3 touch screen game machines and a snack bar at the side. Other than selling cues and accessories and have lockers for rental, they also provide coaching services.


Operating Hours:
11.00am to 3.00am daily


Charges:
Pool - $5.80 ~ $7.80
Snooker - $7.15 ~ $9.20


What's Good:
The tables are well maintained. I saw them dusting and cleaning them early in some random morning. I suppose they do that everyday.

The cues are unique and straight- with threading. This means better grip for the players.

The balls are well maintained. They are cleaned frequently and hence you seldom see chalk stains on them.

There is a 2 layered wooden box under every table for the players to safe keep their belongings.

The snack bar auntie comes round taking your orders and delivers food to your side table. Saves trouble walking to the counter and the food are also not expensive.


What's not so Good:
They have a toilet does not ventilate very well. It also kinda serve as a store.

The lift is not easy to find. FYI: It is located next to the security counter.

Merry Christmas!

Comments:
He is a overseas Korean who plays his guitar and sings well. He likes to play and sings with a little bit of twist. Occasionally he plays his own songs, most of them are meaningful, some with explcit content. He doesnt smiles for some reason that i dont know why - well i just take it that by smiling, that will affect the professionalism of performing. Personally i like his songs and the way that he presents with a little friendly attitude. Sometimes i do feel he need to enhace a little bit on his volume.

Ice3 Cafe (Ice Cube Cafe)




Location:
11 Kensington Park Road
Serangoon Garden Estate
Singapore 557263
(diagonally opposite of Chomp Chomp, along the same row of 7 Eleven.)

Introduction:
Just as the name suggests, it is a eatery that sells cold stuff. Actually they focus on their freshly baked waffle, not forgetting super-premium ice cream. On top of that they also have main courses. The ambience is good and really has an ice cream cafe feeling. I think it is ideal for gathering and a good place to talk after you visit Chomp Chomp - for desserts and a cooling place to talk.


Operating Hours:
Monday to Friday: 4pm – 1am
Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays: 10am – 1am



What's Good:
The waffle is not soft and soggy. I felt that it taste better then the Gal***'s.
They have a large variety of ice cream. Which many of them are the less common flavours. I should say, even the chocolate ice cream is different from the others.
The syrup is nice and fragrant. (I chose butterscotch).
They have some promotions that would be able to attract customers.
They also have an online store which would provide great solutions and something special for catering.


What's not so Good:
Ice3's Location is rather hard to reach. But well, still many goes to Chomp Chomp right?
The main course that was ordered was nothing really special, but it is a ice cream cafe - remember?


Note: 2 Waffles with ice cream + 2 Main course + 1 smoothie = approx $43
