If you’re searching for a mall that’s new or revamped you would have checked out Suntec City like I did. The place used to look dated and dingy so the change is good. There’s a huge Uniqlo and right across, … Continue reading →

5 Reasons Why I Would Return to ARC: 1. Relatively Empty (don’t have to squeeze with other folks when you dine) 2. Free Parking on weekends and on Weekdays if you spend $30 (no need to rush off and with … Continue reading →

Smoothie King – A Great Place to Have Wraps

Posted on May 25, 2013 by bookjunkie

I find smoothies in general a bit too sweet and I was shocked by the calorie counts. I was quite impressed by the spicy grilled chicken wrap I had (cost S$5.90) and I will be returning for the wraps. The … Continue reading →

Singapore Daily Photos: Counting Sheep

Posted on May 25, 2013 by bookjunkie

This display at the Sleep Academy at Centrepoint (mall) seems to attract the kids. Parents as well, as I saw them coax their kids to pose with the soft toys for photos. Pretty creative for a new mattress section.

Costa at Vivo

Posted on April 15, 2013 by bookjunkie

Had a coffee break at Costa. The coffee isn’t great, but I like the decor here. Also St Marc’s was too crowded and I would have been majorly tempted by the parfaits.

Chanced Upon a New Coffee Place at Millennia Walk: Commune

Posted on March 5, 2013 by bookjunkie

I’m always happy to find a new coffee place as an alternative to the chain ones like Starbucks, which I now realize make really weak coffee. Nice quiet seating area too and I guess quiet as most people haven’t discovered … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2013 by bookjunkie

My second time at 100AM mall. As you can see, I was pretty enthralled by the Imperial Dragon Bakery Cafe logo. It reminds me of the traditional depiction you see in Chinese paper cuttings. I know it’s excessive – more … Continue reading →

Omu Rice at Ma Maison

Posted on February 21, 2013 by bookjunkie

I quite like the Omu Rice served at Ma Maison. This was at the Central branch. From what I read it’s 520 calories for this Japanese take on the omlette.

Tempted at Muji

Posted on February 20, 2013 by bookjunkie

Love the clean designs of Japanese goods, and Muji’s food products are so pretty. Even simple things like marshmellows. But prices are not low (compared to Ikea), and it’s quite a splurge if you decide to get anything here.

Posted on January 26, 2013 by bookjunkie

I just love the pink flowers and the sparkly lights. This mall always has a bit of class. I think the fact that it is owned by two brothers (twins I believe) and not a huge corporation makes a huge … Continue reading →

Posted on January 25, 2013 by bookjunkie
