The last time, before this late morning, that I went to SAFRA Tampines was a couple of years back to take my IPPT (Individual Physical Profiency Test). Today, I went with Warden and my father-in-law (Captain Warden), because the Japanese Restuarant called Sakura had not started operating yet.
Apparently this place keeps a whole shelf of board games, for a group of friends or family, who enjoy each others’ company. They can pay for the packaged deal, which includes a meal plus two hours of game time. Not a bad concept I suppose.
The food, however, leaves much to be desired. Captain’s tomato-based pasta was too salty, while mine was kind of tasteless. Warden’s Beef Lagsane was equally dismal.
Ok, guess it is not the best place to go for a good meal, but it was quiet, it had Wireless@SG, it provided newspapers and some magazines, and yes if you want to try out some of the games at a small price, go ahead.

Table #6? That’s a lucky number to start the new year!

I think I had a drink at the one at Prinsep Street once, needless to say I hadn’t returned since.

How goes your IPPT?

Dora, now that you mentioned it, we should have picked the #8 table!
Lorraine, Captain is a very nice man btw. Treats everyone around him well
CSC, good choice. Maybe I should go around searching for the crappiest cafes around in Singapore and blog about it… but then that will be kind of painful and a waste of money
Wilfrid… I will rather not talk about it. I booked a second IPPT this coming 7 March. ‘Nuf said.

I don’t think those cafés will take kindly to your comments! Heheh.
On IPPT, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Scary.

I thank you all for your frank opinion and comments and I promise we will work harder to improve and be better on all the areas that didn’t match up to your expectation.
Hope to see you guys again.
