My sister stays around the pebble bay area. It's the bunch of condos located by the ECP and its just across the river from the Indoor Stadium. Since i go by her place pretty often, i tend to stop by Kallang Leisure Park just to grab some stuff or idle. It's the newly renovated shopping centre located near the stadium. And i have to tell you. I. Am. So. Loving. That place.
1) It's absolutely deserted! No one goes there. The number of staff in that shopping centre outnumbers the patrons! It's not the usual crowded shopping centre like Vivo or Marina Square where i get giddy trying to make my way through the human traffic. In fact, it is so quiet and peaceful, its like going to a park with aircon. Whoot!
2) The cold storage there is the best supermart in Singapore. It's absolutely gorgeous. Everything inside just looks fresher than the usual supermart. The colour, the texture, the glow of the fruits and vegetables... Everything looks untouched, as if im the very first customer in the supermart. All the shelves are packed with food and in order. The aircon is bloody cold which is oh so good for me. (yes i know. im cold blooded. My optimum temperature is below 15 degrees.) The best part is that there are hardly any patrons! No playing snakes in the supermart where i have to navigate myself and my trolley around kids who are running around with unwrapped sweets they just got off the shelf or housewives who cant decide which toilet paper to buy. Seriously! It's like playing bumber car in there! Not to mention i don't have to queue at the casher for half an hour like at Giant.
3) The cinema is commendable. The seats are great. There is plenty of leg room. The air con is just nice. But again, the best part is that there is no one! So i can buy the tickets 1 minute before the show starts and still get the best seats in the cinema. And its perfect to watch those shows that you want to watch but no one seems to share the same interest as you. You won't have to worry about being caught watching a movie alone. And its perfect for couples too. It's like having your own private cinema.
4) Not to mention there is an ice skating ring, a bowling alley, Kbox and a hand full of small eateries.
But it's just me. I don't really like crowds so this shopping mall fits me totally. I have to say most of you won't like it. Its really dull. And the design is just terrible. The rubbish dump is like located near the entrance. Not to mention the location. Its like in the middle of no where. So don't go there. Even if its only a 10 minutes bus ride from town. Don't go there. Alright? Let me keep my peaceful shopping centre! Sheesh why am i even blogging about this secret shopping centre... Ok pretend you didn't read this post!
