infinitie 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2010 I am currently staying at my MIL place. Have been doing so for 4 years. my old place was rented out for abt 2.5 yrs and it's recently we decided place was a bit cramp and so we chase the tenants out, sold the old place and bought the new place to hv a place of our own but very very near my MIL place for her to take care of my son easier. Ya, delivery has to be coordinate closely with the companies and my contractor so that we wun hv clashes. right now, we buy things with open date lor. GR Link, Hommage, Mega Discount and Fullhouse all like tat. In fact most shops do that, just dun pay in full to reduce the risk involved. haha...ya can online. but still working lah, jus checking once in a while. BTW, the hob ah, I bought stainless steel ones though I had like the tempered glass ones... reason being (as explained by Mega discount sales) stainless steel is more hardy than tempered glass and I can put hot pots on top of the top which tempered glass is not so advisable to....hubby feels safer with S/S too and ever since the story by GG, he even more support S/S so I gave in. hmm.. Quite true abt the handy thingy. Ahh... what/who is GG? Can I know where are all the shop/mall (except GR) u mentioned, I didn't heard of it before. Stuff bought value for $?

Stuff bought value for $? GG = Gor Gor = wcseow Hommage (furniture)= 25/25A Tai Thong Crescent (behind old Jacksons FC) Fullhouse Furnishing (furniture) = Aljunied Crescent (above NTUC), Serangoon (not sure full address) Mega Discount Store (electrical appliances) = Kallang Leisurepark & United Square So far I find the electrical appliances offered by Mega Discount is pretty reasonable. U can bargain the price but you have got to do your homework before you go down. make calls to the usual shops like Everjoint etc and then you know your price range and gives you more room to bargain. Unlike Everjoint, Mega Discount showcase all the electricals so you can see your stuff before you buy. Hommage is doing catalogue sales for furniture like S&C. So if u are comfortable to do that then you visit them, if not, you are better off visiting Star furniture or Ceillini etc. Service is good but be aware that Eric the boss is the only one doing sales there so on weekends is freaking packed. you have to be prepared to wait for him to serve you. Fullhouse Furnishing claims that they are one of the largest furniture supplier in Malaysia, not so sure since I dun go into malaysia. Happen to go to Aljunied Crescent and went to look look see see. furniture wise, nothing caught my eye. I only ordered a queen size and a single size mattress from them but the sales guy was pretty helpful and friendly. GG visited them too but suay suay met a crabby guy. U can take a look but so far no review about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the s/s one is not nice ler i bought black glass ones... very hard to find an affordable and nice stainless steel hob..most are really quite crappy! Our current home is also tempered glass hob, we realised it's easy to maintain since s/s tend to have scratches/stubborn stain. Practically, tempered glass is the choice but hubby thinks for a more complete/nicer kitchen, s/s is the one. Nevertheless, thanks for your advise. Hubby suggested to leave it to ID to advise.. LOL. lilithfield, for our case the tempered glass cost more than s/s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, seems like I don't feel excited at all Probably, bcos of the 1 mth extention from seller bah. So right now, it's another 1 mth or less (i hope) of waiting. Counting down and waiting patiently for my Agent to call us when they are ready to move out. Edited June 4, 2010 by infinitie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zelly 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 tell your hb that s/steel will have scratches in the long run. so black glass easier to maintain.. What is the choosen color of the kitchen cabinets. Not many pple choosing black glass. Oh oh.. I think it is very important for top cabinets to have lights for areas you use for cutting and cooking. My current place always have problem seeing the exact color as the light is shining downbehind me, so i have block some light. Was talking to the contractor about tempered glass backing. He said unless the top and bottom of the tempered glass is inside the cabinets, the old stains will will seep through if it is a just nice fit placed on the wall. I wonder black tempered glass would work. Now we are exploring S/S option. The contractor said, the current tiles will not stain if u dun do much frying. He also added, eat more steamed food, good for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
