Wen u have no income, shopping at jb can really stretch your S$ and helps with savings…

It just proves that the cdc vouchers isn’t enough to help offset the exponential increase in cost of living …
Dun look down on old people. Some r rich, stays in JB and buy groceries in JB too..

I hv a relative with 3 houses in SG, she constantly eats expired food in the fridge
Extremely stingy 🙈 sometimes I think a bit insane
And she worked as a cleaner to pass time , clean tables
But her main income is collect rent

So dun look down on anyone , the cleaner auntie may be richer than us 😂

Hybrid Grouper 1.3kg RM179.40
Meat stir fried, soft tender
The rest deep fried.
Delicious.

Only tried twice at Sutera and once at Sentosa.

Their menu varies slightly, I prefer the roasted Irish duck in Sutera.

Otherwise both so far are pretty good.

Wife prefers Sentosa vibes.

Yes

is there any clean health centre where I can spend the whole day chilling? like gspa or royal spa in SG? foods drinks and got rest area where I can sleep.

no BW, HV, one 6 or VIP pls. Those place too run down.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!
How about those clean 24hr KTV? Anyone tried? Inside got toilet?

Think hardly saw any 24hr health center like those in China.

JB sentral dont even have 24 hr fast food restaurants.
