Massive Crunch at the New Food Republic Food Court (Parkway Parade)

Posted on December 3, 2012 by bookjunkie

Want to feel the crunch? Go to a newly opened food court like we did. It was so crazy. At first B said forget it, let’s go somewhere else. But uncharacteristically I persuaded him to walk one more quick round, … Continue reading →

Posted on December 25, 2011 by bookjunkie

So here I was at 112 Katong. Had no idea of its existence before. It used to be the Katong mall, but it’s so utterly different now. I don’t like checking out malls, but my partner does, especially if it’s … Continue reading →

Leave Bedok Hawker Centre Alone

Posted on February 17, 2011 by bookjunkie

Books and Bites at 313 Somerset

Posted on January 5, 2011 by bookjunkie

313 Somerset is definitely an improvement on the Specialist Shopping Centre that used to occupy this space. The best part is that the Somerset MRT is linked to the mall. No more getting wet in the rain. The one shop … Continue reading →

Food Republic at VivoCity

Posted on December 4, 2010 by bookjunkie

The fried kway teow was not so great. It was somewhat dry. The curry rice was good, but somehow better at the Wisma Atria branch. I still prefer Food Republic over other Singapore Food Courts.

Opening of a Brand New Singapore Mall: The Frenzy at Nex

Posted on November 26, 2010 by bookjunkie

It was quite an anticlimax. This mall is the size of ION Orchard, but it’s definitely not in the same league. I guess the extreme crowds put me off immediately.  The mall just felt very cramped and the design was … Continue reading →

Singapore Daily Photo: Food Republic (Wisma Atria)

Posted on September 7, 2010 by bookjunkie
