Pre National Day Celebrations at VivoCity

VivoCity had this huge Singapore flag up. Somehow, the bigger the flag the grander it looks. I wish the red was a bit darker for greater contrast. I think in celebration of National Day perhaps, VivoCity’s blue drummer boys were … Continue reading

Curvy Architecture and iPad Ads at VivoCity

The curvy architecture at VivoCity makes the mall pretty attractive. The apple green theme is so vibrant and I really like it. Also iPad adverts were all over the escalators and at Apple authorized dealers you could see people clammering … Continue reading

Marche at VivoCity’s Rooftop Terrace: Pretty Display, But Disappointing Meal This Time

The Marche at VivoCity’s rooftop terrace is perpetually filled with diners, with a high proportion of families. This place seems to be very kid friendly. I used to be more impressed, but the quality of the service was not as … Continue reading

Since I don’t eat beef, I go for the chicken club which is so orgasmically good because it has bacon! Bacon always makes any food better. It has melted cheese too which just upps the yum factor. One thing about … Continue reading

VivoCity’s Skinny Snowman Looks Out To Sentosa

When my cousin visits from Perth, she loves going to two malls in particular – ION Orchard and VivoCity. VivoCity used to be her #1, but I think it may have been bumped by ION. I like VivoCity mainly because … Continue reading

Drummer Boys in Blue (VivoCity Singapore)

The mall at VivoCity sure knows how to drum up business (pardon the pun). They really came marching out of the blue (sorry I can’t help it). They seemed to be enjoying themselves are they beat their drums and attempted … Continue reading

African Crafts at VivoCity

I was really impressed by the traditional attire of this African booth owner at VIvoCity. His authentic stall injects a whole load of vibrancy to the mall. I spotted his booth just across from the PageOne bookstore where I sometimes … Continue reading

Max Brenner: Chocolate Culture

Yigloo

Fancy Yoghurt stalls are the trend now, just like donuts were just a year ago and taiwanese bubble tea before that. I am not so much a fan of sweet fancy yoghurt, but since my partner had a plain yoghurt … Continue reading

Thai Fashion Show at VivoCity

At first glance, I thought this was a rehearsal for a fashion show later on, but then I realized it was a collection of casual wear and the actual show might have been taking place. Then again, I spotted some … Continue reading

Skinny Snowman

VivoCity seems a mall that’s different from the others in town, because it’s by the sea. We get a great view of the island of Sentosa from across VivoCity, and there are wooden plank layed platforms for viewing the boats … Continue reading

New Eateries at VivoCity

We usually walk at the malls to get away from the dreaded heat outside. The heat can really make you feel lethargic and a mall (although I hate shopping) seems to be the only place to escape to. It’s always … Continue reading

PageOne at VivoCity

I tend to gravitate towards bookstores. The allure of unread books draws me in. At VivoCity this would be PageOne. What’s lovely about this place is the strong element of natural light. The back and sides of the bookstore are … Continue reading

National Geographic Store at VivoCity Singapore

Architecture at VivoCIty

Really like the Japanese Architecture here more than the shopping itself. The shops are pretty much the same as what you can find at Orchard Road. Also, I would rather go here for the restaurants with the lovely view of … Continue reading
