Nothing! Just like one of those small malls tucked under condos and office complex.

Unless you are a big fan of Celebrity Fitness and Ben & Jerry's.

Rochester Park, on the other hand, is more interesting.

Well, bottledrainbowsss, you now gotten your five absolutely useless posts in order to activate your PM function. Now, can you quit.

Best Starbucks in Singapore, if you're interested in such a thing.

To me, yes. But Starbucks connoisseur like zzm would beg to differ.

Always wince when someone says 'stay' when the question is about where they 'live'. By definition it's not permanent. That's probably arguable though the actual usage isn't.

Then again, the same people are still trying to 'collect' me from one place and 'send' me to another. I must be junk mail.

Well you're right, a Starbucks is a Starbucks. My comment was partially tongue in cheek, implying that it's not really that much more special than anywhere else.

Starbucks at (just outside) Rochester Park is a big two-story version that is either in, or made to look like an old Black and White. It's pretty neat. This whole building is the Starbucks, as opposed to some little kiosk in a mall:

Oh have you seen the one outside United Square?

Interesting cube, I must say.

Edit: Eh... the image got sliced off on the right. How do I resolve this? Hmm...

Yes, I've been to that one. The cube is pretty neat, like a budget Apple-store look hehe. Also it does have a bit more room inside.

Very nice pics of Starbucks. More places for me to check out the next time I visit.

Sad state of Singapore's tourism industry if you're coming here to visit a Starbucks

star visa is nearby. my wife likes some black jelly drink from a store there.

most of the restaurants there are disappointing, hopeless and understaffed. the food court if pricey. it's a jesus mall i think, co-owned by a church. i wouldn't go there on weekends or PH eve.

BUT there's a candy empire and cold storage too...

They have a Blackball, that's probably where your wife gets the drink:

The Blackball Signature is really good if you like Taiwanese desserts.

They also have a Colombian restaurant I wanted to try. No idea if it's any good or not though.
