Yeay, from today onwards i'm going to bring out the shopping queen ( or should i say window shopping queen) in me, and review the shopping centres in Singapore. You'll see which place is too small, hard to navigate or pleasant to spend the day shopping in :
Orchard Cineleisure - everyone who comes here is no doubt here for the Cathay Cinema on the top floor. Apart from that, there are a few nice stores which has very beautiful shoes, toys and food. This place has no big crowds on weekends but of course there's nothing much to shop also lah...
City Vibe in Clementi... the Chinese name is damn tacky but is a smart play on the sound, which sounds like 'Clementi'. This place is really tiny and many small stall of eateries are crammed into the limited space that they have. Mostly food and nothing else...
The huge Ion Orchard, which can get very full on week day nights and weekends. The eateries are particularly full and boast long queues. I avoid this place most of the time due to the large number of visitors. According to my journalist friend, Ion Orchard has its own scent emitted by the air conditioning system, but every time i'm there, i don't seem to be able to detect it. Maybe it's a subconscious thing hehe...
Very near to my place - Sun Plaza. My friend once said that this place reminded her of Malaysia. The shops are not the franchise type, and it is pretty run down and has not been renovated for years. Thank goodness it's next to the MRT tracks or i won't bother walking in. I normally go in to get my soya bean milk from Mr Bean or my curry puffs from Old Chang Kee.
One of the most walkeable shopping centre in Singapore. Vivocity has a nice balance of food, fashion and other stuff. Many of my friends love this place and the restaurants have nice views of Universal Studios in Sentosa. However, many of the patrons are tourists from Sentosa though.
