Random mall visits

Was too lazy to do any cooking after a busy weekend, we went to a Hong Kong cafe for dinner at at Bt Panjang Plaza.

Was my first time there at that nick of the woods. Like all malls in Singapore, it has the usual tenants - McDees Giordano, Breadtalk, Kopitiam et al.

Interestingly, this mall obviously has high traffic volume to sustain 3 pharmacy outlets (Unity, Guardian, Watsons), 5 bakeries ( Breadtalk, Bengawan Solo, Fourleaves, Angies Cakeshop, and another privately owned bakery ) and 2 coffee joints all located within the same stretch of the mall!

It also has a nice big revamped NTUC which I didn't manage to trawl though. Looks like I have an alternative to NTUC finest at Bt Timah now.

But anyway, that's dinner below.

Prawn with beancurd rolls


Braised Beef noodles



Claypot rice with chicken, salted fish and chinese sausage. This was good as they cooked the rice inside the claypot and you get the burnt bits at the bottom. Actually this photo was taken before the soysauce was added, so it looks rather naked.



TehC after dinner.


Would I go to the mall again? Yea probably. CapitaLand's done a decent job tenanting another cookie cutter style mall with the usual suspects.


With the big players dominating the mall space in Singapore, where do the SMEs go? Push cart sales? HDB heartland shops?
