Not so ordinary lunch..

From my personal experience, most of the food courts in major shopping complexes (referring to Singapore) are either franchised to The Kopitiam or The Banquet. Or maybe I haven't patroned enough complexes yet to be able to draw this conclusion. Anyway, I was quite surprised to witness something different in ViVoCity the other time back, the layout, the design, the concept, as well as the environment was distinguished, to the extend that even the variety of food differs.

Classical Chinese Environment setup for the layouts.

From another view, notice the costume at the background? Kinda scary, ain't it?.

Endless waves of hungry shoppers frequent this place. So, you really have to be quick and alert. Else, say bye-bye to empty seat and be prepared to stand for a long, long, long time. E and I consider ourselves lucky, we got a table in just 15 minutes; I could see the same group of people who came earlier, but were still wandering around looking for empty seats.

From the Dim Sum Lady. Lesson learnt: whatever you plan to eat, ask for price first. These costs 4SGD, though it was really superb, the price is really way above expectations.

Various edible items.

Huge variety of Dim Sum, sometimes, a lady pushing a cart-load of dim sum will pass by and you can just vuy it off her. There are "Yu Tiao" with Soya, "Slipper" Noodles, Satay and Grilled Chicken Wings, Claypot curry/laksa and etc. It was so different that I took nearly 30 minutes to decide what to have.

The curry or laksa noodle. According to E, it was quite good.

My dry noodles with minced meat sauce. I actually placed the wrong order and since it doesn't suck, what the heck, just eat lah!


After a hearty meal, while walking around, I came across this particular outlet and decided to take a picture of it. m!ss s!mple, this is especially for you. And maybe to Leech as well...

This outlet considered big ah? Just in case you feel like denying the fact, its a Forever 21 outlet.

That's all for now, I need to get some sleep cause tomorrow is still a working day. I seriously need a holiday...
