      I'm hunting some items for my new place but I don't find Balestier offers much leh. Overprice and nothing particularly striking.

      Go to Lightcraft at Jalan Sultan. Go to IMM or Harvey Norman@ Millennia? Xin Xiang Jun (Sim something) at East Coast, Hoe Kee at PlazaSing, Toto at McKenzie?

      For striking Scandinavian designs, you must go to SPACE behind NAFA/Prinsep/Elections Dept. Park Mall ones are even more pricey. Park Mall and Furniture Mall had closed.

      Lightcraft is interesting. That one I like πŸ˜‰ Guess I'm mainly shopping for lights as the rest are provided and I've no intention to change them (Hansgrohe and Grohe are much cheaper to ship in from overseas in any case).

      I like SPACE but my wallet hates them.

        No, there are no Nespresso capsules at Lam Yeo, my dear.
        I have a refill kit for Nespresso.
        Just need to add powder but there's no point adding normal coffee powder to the refill kit leh πŸ˜‚
        Hence, need for look for those luwak coffee or exotic beans / blends to make the effort worthwhile.

          Balestier shops have Hansgrohe and Grohe too! Did u dig deeper? You must comb from 1 end to the other like we did.


          There's an ID programme on Channel 5 every Tues. There are some lighting sponsors you can take note of. We watch that programme every Tues night to \"kaypoh\" other people's ID πŸ˜› A lot of the participants bought fully-furnished condos, yet they want to tear down every wall and cabinet to re-renovate.

              Dug. Very deep πŸ˜‚
              But Hansgrohe and Grohe suppliers in DE still offer lower prices after factoring in shipping.

              Err... those shows are being \"sponsored\" leh. If they sponsor me, I'll let them tear down my house also.

                "Designer in the House"

                Tues 930pm
                On toggle

                Reno NOT sponsored. Owners gave specific budget and tineline to ID contractors.

                Lighting is sponsored though if the owners pass a stupid test.

                  http://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=537656186520 from Taobao. Same product is available on https://www.amazon.com/RECAPS-Nespresso-Capsules-Refillable-Stainless/dp/B0175SV0US also. Just note that this isn't the same as a ready made capsule, you will need a number of trials to get the grind / amount of coffee right.

                        Refill kits are cheaper in EU no?

                        Only about 1 euro per capsule.
