ORCHARD ION

We these two shoppers are getting very active last week .... two days shopping in one shot.

On Tuesday, we decided to make a trip to new Ion Orchad. We took bus 502 express and alighted at the bus stop opposite Wisma. From there, we managed to find our way there.

Inside, its a new experience for me because it's a long time since I stepped into a shopping centre that is not crowded with people or shops with sales. Here I don't get to see those familiar shops near our neighbourhood shopping centres. Yet those names are not greek either. They are names/blands we can spot on magazine like Chole, Her World, Elite etc.

Enough of all the feast for the eyes we decided its time the stomach has a share. Then we set a rule : Budget with $5.00 for meals on our future trips. We had our meal at toast box @ wishma ... coffee + 2 eggs + toast for $3.90.

After that Lu suggested we shop at Far East Shopping Centre and after that took bus 105 direct home. We discovered that Metro is not there anymore. At Watson there we signed up as their newly launched membership card.



Come Thursday, we decided to go further because our boys will be home later and we decided to shop at Tampines One.

There we saw a few shops different from those we usually go and some are opened by local mediacorps artist. We really need to come out more often and start exploring and 'see the world'.

For meal, we had a chives 'pancake' and lemon sugar cane juice set @ $2.50. Later we saw a HK tea restaurant offering noodle & drink set @ $4.90 which is much a deal. In fact during weekdays there are lots of such promotion when come to food. After getting a blouse and pant for less than $50 at Dot.com and some bread at Yamazaki we proceeded home. It was a long journey.

Best of the day we stopped by at IMM Andersen for a coffee & pastries break...............
