zihui 7 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Wah... I may go Sia Huat then. Are pots better there or from popular brands like Zwilling and WMF? Hi pills,I have no idea. I'm just an amateur housewife wannabe so we'all have to wait for the resident experts to reply.However, I do know that my friends who have opened cafes and restaurants go to Sia huat to get their supplies - even my hubby, who was the pioneer bartender at Harry's Esplanade said that they went to sia huat to get supplies when they were setting up the bar. So my guess is that they carry a wide range at affordable prices.Hi Zihui,Recently I just sign the OTP at JE too may I know which Blk is your house and how much your demage.Have you got the quotation from your contractor.

vanessa 12 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 Wah... I may go Sia Huat then. Are pots better there or from popular brands like Zwilling and WMF?Sia Huat has some interesting pots...not as "branded" as WMF etc...what you can do is go down to ToTTs at Bukit Timah and have a look. It will give you a better idea whether it is worth the hike come September sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zihui 7 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 After all the waiting and the excited planning......*drumroll*WE GOT THE KEYS TO OUR HOUSE YESTERDAY!! Finally, all the carefully crafted renovation plans can be put into motion! *beam*We went straight down to the apartment after collecting the keys and setting up the SP services account to do the door opening ritual (once again, thank you RT forum for giving us a step by step guide for us to follow)Photos to follow shortly! Now, we're effectively banned from the house until Friday where we'll be going back to the apartment after work (with contractor in tow) so that precise measurements can be taken.On an unrelated note, during my absence from the t-blog, we have already placed our orders for the entire house's lightings, sinks, taps, shower systems etc using Peeka so that's struck off our list. The reno journey is about to start next Monday! (that's if the FSM who's coming down to do the house audit this Saturday approves) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zihui 7 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks to sarah833 who has instilled the online shopping bug in us (*kowtow*), the HTB and I scour gumtree & ebay on a daily basis to see if we too can find good bargains on items that we want.Thus far, we've managed to get the following loots from online sellers that we're very happy with:1) A BNIB portable side table / bar with storage for 34 cans in white ($100):2) A BNIB Nescafe Dolce Gusto Circolo in white ($120):3) A coffee table in white (with glass top) in pristine condition ($120):A huge thank you goes out to online shopping gurus like sarah833 & vanessa for inspiring us!
