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

Carl’s Junior: Some Days You Just Need a Yummy Charbroiled Burger with Bacon and Cheese
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
The huge chocolate bars around really get you in the mood for something chocolatey. In my trip to Max Brenner when it first opened at the Esplanade a couple of years ago I had a real lovely hot chocolate that … Continue reading

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
A Bit of World Cup 2010 Fever at VivoCity
Took some photos of how Singapore shops are capitalizing on the biggest event this year – the World Cup. I have no telecast so I won’t be able to watch it – I hope I don’t get any withdrawal symptoms. … 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

Asian Inspired Costume Exhibition at VivoCity
I was surprised to see life-sized dolls in various Asian inspired costumes just outside the Timberland store on level 1 of VivoCity. The Exhibition of Costumes is by a Singaporean designer called Moe Kasim. I checked on the official website … 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
The decor here reminds me a little of the Natural History Museum in New York with it’s wood panelling. Just gazing at the globes, professional shot photos of gorgeous landscapes, huge coffee table travel books, makes you yearn to be … Continue reading

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
