It will help greatly in facilitating entry into more than 40,000 malls and buildings using the SafeEntry app. Developed by Singapore’s Government Technology Agency (GovTech) during the COVID-19 period, SafeEntry has been…

Jewel a gem even during this period!
COVID-19 is sweeping the globe by storm, and many retailers are reeling from the effects of a drop in consumer spending as a result of a reduction of footfall in malls. Changi Airport’s Jewel, which was packed during its opening last year, was pretty quiet last night. Considering that it is the school holidays in…

Catch a nap at CentralWorld
While many malls provide chairs or benches for shoppers to take a break, CentralWorld has upped the notch by offering tired shoppers a place to take a nap.

Hence, I was delighted when…

Mango dessert that leaves one longing for more

When the ice cream chain first arrived in Singapore, I remember hanging out there once or twice a week after tennis sessions with my friends. It used to offer their desserts in two sizes — standard and Swensen’s…

Yummy and crispy coconut chips
Knowing how my family loves coconut chips, I made a beeline to King Power Duty-Free while on a quick transit in Bangkok. The shop is big and filled with shelves of local snacks. It took me a while to find what I was looking for — in a shelf inside the shop. I wasn’t familiar…

Palladium World: Underrated but a gem in its own right
In a city with so many shopping malls, it’s understandable why Palladium World does not ring a bell. The mall is diagonally across the road from the world famous Platinum Fashion Mall. It’s hard to fathom why the mall is not drawing more crowd especially as it’s connected to The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam, a huge…
