Posted on September 25, 2022 by bookjunkie

I do it when I feel comfortable enough and usually when it’s not too crowded. But yes I so do enjoy having that freedom.

Posted on September 25, 2022 by bookjunkie

I managed to get some peace and eye candy even on a busy weekend. Trying to be grateful for every little thing as I believe it helps in elevating our mood. I can’t afford a thing at Valentino, but I … Continue reading →

Atas Mall with Fresh Orchid Displays

Posted on September 23, 2022 by bookjunkie

B pointed out that the orchids at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands are real and if they are replaced regularly must be super expensive. Me and my cousin D love coming to TWG. The outlet here looks nice but … Continue reading →

#9. Simple Joys: Wide Walkways & High Ceilings

Posted on September 23, 2022 by bookjunkie

Because most malls in Singapore are so cramped with narrow walkways I appreciate something like this at the ‘atas’ (Singlish for high class/ snooty) mall The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

#6. Simple Joys: Beautiful Window Displays

Posted on September 22, 2022 by bookjunkie

Haven’t been to the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands for a while and was drawn to this window display in particular. New sights are always refreshing. And I love the bubblegum shade of pink.

Posted on June 22, 2022 by bookjunkie

I’m not a mall person but we had fun anyway. This mall is 12km from Perth city centre and is the largest shopping centre in the whole of Western Australia. Only trouble was there was difficulty getting a taxi back … Continue reading →

The Skinny Snowman at VivoCity

Posted on May 27, 2022 by bookjunkie

It was a really windy moment just before the down pour. Previously we didn’t walk out of the mall due to the covid barricades but now that rules are more relaxed we did. I’m eager for when we don’t have … Continue reading →

Best Spot at Jewel: We love the French Toast and the View

Posted on April 13, 2022 by bookjunkie

Haven’t been to Jewel in ages. When we are here, we keep returning to Fun Toast for the view. It’s also not too atas or expensive.

Singapore Daily Photo: Skinny Snowman at VivoCity

Posted on March 31, 2022 by bookjunkie

It’s still there. Looking out into the sea and Sentosa. In congested Singapore it’s nice to catch a glimpse of pockets of space and nature.

Muratama After a Long Time

Posted on March 26, 2022 by bookjunkie

I requested for the chicken balls instead of the pork. Not much taste but good with the chilli. The broth made you feel very full. B remarked that’s it’s probably full of collagen. That’s great because I’ve been hearing so … Continue reading →

Northshore Plaza: We like this new mall at Punggol

Posted on March 16, 2022 by bookjunkie

In Singapore malls are needed to escape the intense heat. And it’s nice to find a new place to hang out, that’s not too crowded. I think it’s because it doesn’t have a Uniqlo. I noticed that any mall with … Continue reading →

New mall NorthShore Plaza is connected to the HDB, Northshore Residences.

Posted on March 16, 2022 by bookjunkie

This has got to be one of the nicest HDB flats (housing built by the government and subsidised if you’re eligible) especially the ones with a waterfront view. It’s also connected to the malls. walked from the mall to the … Continue reading →

Tomato Soup at Saybons

Posted on March 4, 2022 by bookjunkie

Didn’t like coming here as the service is often abrupt (partner would say rude & what can you expect as F&B staff are paid a pittance), but today there was a patient, polite, older person at the cashier. I recall … Continue reading →

Tony’s Pizza: Sadly Disappointing

Posted on July 18, 2015 by bookjunkie

B has been complaining that he has been unable to have a real american style pizza with a dense chewy crust as health conscious folks have made all the crusts so thin and almost biscuit like. I too feel that other … Continue reading →

Posted on June 28, 2015 by bookjunkie

Don’t like malls but I like the ample seats at Robinson, and their displays. Great place to window shop.

Aperia Mall seems Rather Dull

Posted on May 25, 2015 by bookjunkie

Don’t think I want to come here again. Think it’s more for residents living in the attached condo or office workers who work in the area and now have another option for lunch. The only attraction seems to be Tim … Continue reading →

Cronuts at Green Pumpkin

Posted on May 24, 2015 by bookjunkie

I didn’t want to try these, but they do make a pretty sight. Think I prefer to either have a donut or a croissant. Not keen on the fusion, but perhaps I shouldn’t knock it before I try it.

Tried Out Pie Face at Nex

Posted on May 24, 2015 by bookjunkie

Well to be honest I didn’t try the pie, but my partner did. It was a steak pie ($5.20) and he said it was a tad salty, but generally ok. Only downer to him was that we had to sit … Continue reading →

Capitol Piazza: Capitol Theatre After the Renovation

Posted on May 18, 2015 by bookjunkie

Capitol Theatre after the renovation now has a fancy name, Capitol Piazza, and it’s filled with fancy shops. I can’t even recall what the old place looks like even though I’ve been there countless number of times for movies. A … Continue reading →

Art at ION

Posted on March 4, 2015 by bookjunkie

The horse looked really spooky and I believe that was the effect the sculptor was going for. I like how they change up the art at ION now and then. And Saveur – french restaurant I’ve heard a lot about … Continue reading →
