Pick A Place and Share Your Unique Themes on Pickat SG

Check out this new mobile application, Pickat SG that can be downloaded on iTunes Appstore or Google Playstore. Pickat SG is a location based social application that allows one to discover, create and share interesting places. It also allows one to find out latest coupons and discount deals nearby your location while on the go. I have recently downloaded Pickat SG and have been having fun "Picking" and sharing reviews of my favourite restaurants and eats.

So why am I so crazy into this new Pickat SG app?  If you are familiar with Facebook, Instagram, Path and Foursquare , then Pickat is like your  4-in-1 app having similar or even the same features. Let me show you how easy and user friendly the Pickat SG app can be.

Yesterday I met up with my friends at Clark Quay for steamboat at Hai Di Lao Hotpot. I enjoyed the food and service at the restaurant. I find that it is a great place for group gathering. Hence I took out my Iphone and Pick this place to share with my friends on Pickat SG.

What is actually a Pick? In short, it is like Facebook status post or a Twitter tweet where you share a Place + Theme. You can also include photos and a brief review up to 500 words. To create a pick, you simply click on the pick icon at the bottom right corner of the app.

How to create a Pick? Pick is a Place + Theme, so we need to input the location followed by the theme. Simply key in the location of the place you want to Pick and click search. Then select the outlet you want to make a pick.

What is a Theme? A theme is like a label or a post header where it expresses the experience/view/opinion of a place you have visited. The cool part is you can create your own Unique Theme! For example, I find that Hai Di Lao Hotpot is a great place for gathering, hence I created the theme Great Place for Gathering.

To complete your Pick, you can upload your photos (up to 4 pictures) as well as your review of the place. The great thing is after you have completed your Pick, you can even shared it seamlessly on Facebook and Twitter.

That is not all about Pickat SG! Besides sharing your favourite Pick, Pickat SG brings the latest Coupons and Discount Deals right to your smart phone. At the main menu page, click on the Nearby Coupons for the latest promotion. You can download the coupon or discount deal and it will be saved in Pickat SG.

Tanglin Halt Delicious Duck Noodle @ Tanglin Halt Food Centre

Located at one of the earliest HDB neighbourhood at Tanglin Halt, Tanglin Halt Delicious Duck Noodle has been around since 1969. Founded by Mr Chua's father in law since 1960s selling the braised duck noodle dish to coolies and workers at Teochew Street in Clark Quay. The stall is now run by Mr Chua and his wife. Having learnt the duck braising skill from his father in law, Mr Chua continues painstakingly braising the Teochew style duck at his stall in the early hour.

After queuing for about 15-20 minutes, I got to order my bowl of Duck Noodle Dry ($4). I opted for kway teow instead of yellow noodle. After cooking the noodle, Mr Chua will topped the bowl of noodle with pre-sliced duck meats, duck gizzards and livers.

So how did I find the nostalgic flavour of 1960s? While the duck meat was flavourful but I felt it was a tad dry. The kway teow texture was a a bit too thick and not as smooth as I would like. Overall it was still a decent bowl of duck noodle that comes with a rustic taste that probably will bring back childhood memories for a lot of people.
