Central: Nostalgia at Goods of Desire
It’s a Hong Kong store but I was impressed by their nostalgia inducing uniquely Singapore items on sale. If not for the too steep price I might have gotten some of these cards.
Christmas in Singapore 2013: Central
Been checking out Christmas trees. One place where I saw kids sitting by Santa for a photo.

Omu Rice at Ma Maison

Freshness Burger at The Central Mall
A nice place to relax when Starbucks is bursting at the seams. I actually prefer this place to Starbucks – it’s emptier and cosier. I hope they still remain in business though, as the one at Nex has closed, probably … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Magical Christmas By The River (Central)
I love this mall because it doesn’t really feel like one is has a relaxed vibe with the river outside. It has loads of Japanese stores and restaurants too. They were giving away free candy floss.
