DBS INNOVATES : The Joyful of QR Code Cashless Payment

Digital payment has been going around us. It is easier and hassle-free to use electronic payment than using cash and save the hassle of carrying heavy coins in our wallet especially when you are going to those shops that only accept cash.

When I read about DBS Innovates, I was a little surprised that even Hawker Centre has implemented cashless payment now. With the advancement of financial technology such as
cashless payment, it brought us closer together to everything.

So far I always need to use cash to pay for the food and drinks at the Hawker Centre. And I only came across a few stores accepting electronic payment via Nets FlashPay. I prefer to visit their stall more because of the ease of payment and I don't need to headache to find ATM to withdraw money when I don't have enough cash.

DBS has come out with an app called PayLah!
It has brought the technology and traditional means of payment together.
As a customer, all we need is our phone. With DBS mobile wallet installed, use the app to scan
the QR code displaying at the merchant counter, input the amount and pay! Immediately the money will be transferred.
As a merchant, then they will receive a payment notification immediately.

One of the owners at Maxwell Hawker Centre found out about this initiative and have always
wanted to reduce the inconvenience of looking for small change to customers, has opted
for cashless payment as an alternative way to receive money.

Sharing article of Making Banking Simpler, Faster, Smart, and DBS News to read more about PayLah App.

The Paylah! QR code payment has low barriers to entry. Both consumers and merchants
only need a Singapore bank account to send or receive funds and at no cost.

We can also use it to collect or make payments to our friends with the QR code!.
Furthermore, PayLah! users can transfer money to others who do not have the PayLah! App
via their mobile number or NRIC/FIN, as long as they are customers of 7 participating banks

According to DBS, paying for taxi fare for ComfortDelGro will be available in the third quarter of this year.

SPRING LUNCH FAIR: Machida Shoten

The month of May is the month where you can enjoy the number of Japanese food in Singapore.
Why I say so? Because Spring Lunch Fair is happening since last week which falls on 8th May 2017 till this coming weekend, 21st May 2017 at Japan Food Town.

You can enjoy the variety of Japanese cuisine for only $11.80


Japan Food Town

A massive space that covers half of level 4, Wisma Atria, is literary a Japanese food paradise.
Housed more than over 10 different Japanese Restaurants, it is a place that you can temporarily
ease your craving for any Japanese food. You name it, they've got it! We were pretty spoilt
of choices when we there. But well, at least we don't have to decide for today.

Thanks to J Passport Japan Food Town for the invitation.

Machida Shoten

This restaurant originates from Kanagawa Prefecture. The restaurant design is quite interesting and it's a typical traditional Japanese restaurant. According to their website, Machida Shoten's specialty is their “house-type” or “lekei” ramen.  Read more about Machida Shoten

Machida Shoten has prepared us for a special set lunch of Fried Rice & Gyoza set for the Spring Lunch Fair. The Service was excellent. Despite the crowd, the staff were friendly and attend to your needs promptly. The food was served hot and quick.

The fried rice was quite plain, not many ingredients and it tasted like normal fried rice that I can get from any Zhi Char stall.

The gyoza was nicer compare to the fried rice. But overall the food was out of my expectation.

The service is good but not the food. After a quick meal, we went to look for other food instead that could satisfy us better.  Perhaps we should try their Lekei ramen instead of the fried rice. That would probably be a better choice.

Nice open concept kitchen but be prepared to smell like a chef after your meal!
