Hi ann, glad to hear that...but this fat chimney hood initially cost me some problem in my cabinet design. Cos the chimney is too thick, end up my top cabinet has to do a bit out on top, but heng the last cabinet also have to stick out due to piping box...was glad the design turns out alrite....*phew*

The smaller one was meant to be a small compartment - it was devised impromptu when my ID made a mistake and thought I wanted a built in oven, when actually, I just wanted a built in space for my microwave. 
The bigger one was meant to be a dishdrainer compartment. But due to the microwave/oven mistake, it was built too high for my height. As it was not possible for him to change the entire set of kitchen cabinets by the time we found out the miscommunication, he converted that compartment to shelves as well and bought me a separate dish drainer.
The entire view of my kitchen looks something like this:

Hi all,
I went to nam tat and the sales lady very nice, she say can dont do wall tiles in kitchen except for cabinet n cooking area. she say the trend in overseas now are no tiles but painting... anyone doing it?
also i find white work top is very nice n classy, but are you concern its tough to maintain? like dark soya sauce, oil etc etc? or mayb these work top materials will repel liquid?
i recently got a very old resale 4rm, kitchen is big, can put dinner set in it kind. m new to reno so need alot of advice. also i m into lowest cost material, laminate n postfoam work top coz i seldom cook. look good can already ha.
and also how do the carpenter charge for kitchen cabinet? thanks

yah i advocate for stainless steel backing too.
i have a cream/ yellow work top. had stained it b4, cannot wipe away but i used those special white sponges that they sell to wipe, can wipe away.
I dont know about dark soya sauce, cos if its a potentially staining thing, i wouldnt put it direct on the top.

i hv a relative who is a carpenter. he did our current hse reno, he gave us direct price for false ceiling etc coz he subcon to others. but coz he is a relative and already help us save $ on non-carpentry stuff, we paiseh to bargain with him on carpentry. this time round, we will ask him to do as well...but i dont know mkt, and abit paiseh to bargain with him ... do u know the mkt rate for kitchen cabinet, m looking at laminate n post foam top. also bedroom buildin wardrobe, if i want just laminate, u know the mkt rate? thanks!

there are 2 types of electric hob
1. ceramic
2. induction
if u live in old flat please check the amp whether enuf or not. Electricity is more expensive then gas so prepare to fork out more $ to pay PUB bill....
good side is no worry of gas leaking, caught in fire, easier to clean

Hi,
Actualy I am thinking of getting an electric stove, cos due to my liminated space for my kitchen. And my area dont have gas pipe, so have to use gas tank. But it take out a lot of my space.
I seldom cook, so I think to cook once in the blue mood is ok.
I also notice electrica stove heat up food faster. But the price is expensive. Overall the look is nice and clean cut.
