Shopping Kaki (Part 3)

Center Point is located right in the heart of Orchard Road. While it's a tiny place, most people come here for the Robinson's which occupies a large portion of the mall. The last time my friends were here, we had dinner at Toast Box and i had Elvin Ng 黄俊雄 queueing right behind me for food! hahaha.... 

CK Tang's is an expensive place to shop. One of the rare times i come here is normally to get some personal care products at one of the counters or perhaps to visit Triumph or Wacoal upstairs... but i do love browsing expensive kitchen wares at the basement. The exterior is beautiful, and very oriental. This place has such a long history that it is etched as one of the landmarks in Orchard Road.

Lot 1 in Choa Chu Kang. They've recently extended a bit of this place so it's slightly larger. It still looks old on the outside and parts of the inside. I do come here once in a while, cos i have friends who stay nearby, but not a really suitable place for shopping. They do have a money exchanger upstairs which offers good rates, and you have to take a queue number to exchange money... :S

Plaza Singapura is a huge shopping mall near Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. It's a great place to walk and shop, and many of my friends of my age used to reminisce about this place as they grew up to know it as Yaohan. This place has so many storeys to shop, and it has big anchor shops like Carrefour and Spotlight, which makes for interesting window shopping. It is also convenient for many people to get here, because the MRT is an interchange for 3 different MRT lines.

When i used to live in Bukit Batok, West Mall is like a second home. I still come here occasionally after work for the La Mian in the food court upstairs. It's a small, neighbourly mall, sufficient for residents nearby to get all the stuff needed. One of my colleagues also told me that the Subway in West Mall is the most profitable of all Subway chains in Singapore. She got that news from a colleague's husband who works for Subway franchising....
