New Mall 5mins Away from Lavendar MRT: Asperia
There’s a new mall at Kallang called Asperia, but it’s not a full fledged one, but one that is part of a condo. It seems a good place to live as there is a wide variety of services like supermarkets … Continue reading

Katong V: New Hotel Mall
Katong V is a quiet small mall connected to a hotel. My kind of mall. A nice place to have tea or coffee perhaps, but I didn’t this time. Just bought a fresh baguette at the bakery called East Manhattan. … Continue reading

Bugis Street like a Little Bangkok or Tokyo
I used to dread coming to this area. It was cramped and suffocating. claustrophobia inducing for people like me who hate confined spaces with no escape in sight. This time I was pleasantly surprised. No more fake CDs and the … Continue reading

New Warehouse Mall: Big Box Singapore at Jurong
Big Box is huge and spacious, but I’m not that impressed. It seems to be a neater Mustafa but without the personality and I am guessing better prices. Address: 1 Venture Avenue Singapore 608521
