Posted on June 15, 2013 by bookjunkie

We were super kiasu, I’m embarrassed to say, and checked out the newest mall jem even though most of it is just a replica of malls in Orchard Road, like Centrepoint. And nope, no queuing for us as we didn’t … Continue reading →

I Love Kino

Posted on March 13, 2012 by bookjunkie

Here’s hoping that the Kino (the bookstore Kinokuniya) never closes down. I particularly love the branch at Liang Court although it has a much smaller selection than the one at Ngee Ann City. The reason why I say this is … Continue reading →

Kinokuniya at Liang Court

Posted on August 28, 2011 by bookjunkie

Besides books, I also love Japanese animation by Miyazaki. Rilakkuma uber cuteness. Vintage 21st anniversary books which were beautifully colour-blocked. Just gorgeous with even the edges of the book painted. Must come back another night for the Lantern Festival by … Continue reading →

My Favourite Place: Kino at Liang Court

Posted on February 22, 2011 by bookjunkie

Rilakkuma is cuter than Hello Kitty. Always better when there’s a sale. Wide, spacious and not too crowded like the one at Bugis Junction.

Singapore Daily Photos: Christmas at Kinokuniya (Liang Court)

Posted on November 15, 2010 by bookjunkie

I always feel so relaxed at this bookstore. I like the placement of the books although the selection is better at the main branch at Takashimaya, this place has a homey feel. The branch at Bugis is the worst. It’s … Continue reading →

Browsing the Shelves at Meidi-ya and Kinokuniya Feels Like Being in Japan

Posted on October 24, 2010 by bookjunkie

Going to Osaka recently has confirmed to me that Singapore already has authentic Japanese groceries at our very own supermarket at Liang Court. Even though the prices are high as the goods are air flown from Japan, it’s lovely to … Continue reading →

Kinokuniya at Bugis

Posted on September 13, 2010 by bookjunkie

The Kinokuniya, Japanese bookstore at Bugis Junction has been renovated, but I still find it quite crammed. Sadly there is no stationary section here. I prefer the one at Liang Court for browsing and the main branch at Ngee Ann … Continue reading →

Kinokuniya at Liang Court

Posted on September 13, 2010 by bookjunkie

Browsing the books at Kinokuniya, in particular the branch at Liang Court, is a pleasure. The rows are well spaced out and the Japanese books which I sadly can’t read are so beautiful, they are like works of art to … Continue reading →

Quirky and Gorgeous Book Covers at Kinokuniya

Posted on July 17, 2010 by bookjunkie
