The Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
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

Singapore Daily Photo: Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
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.

CNY2015: VIvoCity Bazaar
If you want the festive feel, but want to avoid the heat and really crazy crowds at Chinatown, the VivoCity bazaar might be a good option. Some cute goat themed stuff to be found too.
A Day at Vivo: What’s New
Surprised to see H&M open where the National Geographic store used to be. I quite like the kiddie clothes here. Cute hair and phone assessories too – cute pink walrus iphone cover. And I do like how mustard and navy … Continue reading

St Marc Cafe: Strawberry Milk Parfait
I see myself frequenting St Marc a lot. Well if it’s not too crowded. I love their parfaits. The Yuzu tea was way too sweet (it’s Yuzu jam with hot water added) but at least there is free chilled water … Continue reading

Costa Coffee at Vivo
Now that St Marc has opened I don’t think I’ll be returning to Costa (also new) unless St Marc is too packed. Prefer the offerings there. Although to be fair I had tea at Costa instead of trying the coffee. … Continue reading

I Checked out the new Franc Franc Furniture Store at Vivo City
My first impression of Franc Franc. Wow those are the biggest chairs ever. Wonder what it would be like to sit in one. Probably pretty awesome and I would have that Alice in Wonderland feeling. After looking around I was … Continue reading

CNY 2012: VivoCity (& it’s Sad to See PageOne closing)
Another mall that’s buzzing with Chinese New Year festivities is VivoCity. There is an exhibition with vendors from China each year. If you need sweets for Chinese New Year, you can’t go wrong with St Michael’s (I know it’s M&S … Continue reading

Escaping the Vivo Crowds at the National Geographic Cafe
I thought the dimly lit National Geographic Cafe at Vivo was cosy, although they were out of many of the teas on the menu. I also liked the not very strong and milky Coffee, which surprised me. It seems like … Continue reading

Xmas Tree, Elephant and Santa cause mayhem at Vivo
The crowds really went quite crazy over these mascots at Vivo City. It was like a feeding frenzy. I must say the elephant and tree were pretty cute.

National Geographic Store at VivoCity
I find the National Geographic Store one of the more interesting places to browse. The photographic prints and artwork are so gorgeous. VivoCity itself is so unique, architecturally. Love the refreshing apple green. There’s always some kind of event going … Continue reading

The Mooncake Festival: VivoCity & Junction 8
Every year there’s an enticing array of mooncakes at all the malls around this time – the Mid-Autumn or Lantern Festival. I overheard a tourist at Vivo say, “I sampled them all, now there’s no need to buy any.” I … Continue reading

Hair for Hope 2011
No wonder VivoCity was so extra crowded today. It was time for Hair for Hope organized by the Children’s Cancer Foundation to raise awareness and to tell children with cancer that it’s ok to be bald. I wondered why the … Continue reading
The Crowds Throng to VivoCity for the Great Singapore Sale
I don’t really get the Great Singapore Sale. We have sales all the time, but it never feels like real genuine discount like what I experience when I buy stuff overseas in Australia and the US. Anyone had good deals … Continue reading

Red Rocket at Vivo
I adore the bright red rocket at VivoCity. The unique art installations and thoughtful curvy design, sets this mall apart from others. The red rocket has a name – GoGo and is by Dutch artist, Marc Ruygrok. It’s quite a … Continue reading
Gloria Jean at Vivo
Only when Starbucks gets way too crowded…. I wish a little boutique cafe like Shots at Ann Siang Hill, would open up here, but I guess it would be the wrong vibe.

A Bowl of Ramen at Aoba, VivoCity
I always have this need to add chilli powder to my soup. Whether it’s prawn mee soup at the coffeshop or Ramen at a restaurant.
