Shopping @ Jurong Point

Today, I woke up at around 8.30 am, which was very early for me on a Saturday morning. My mum and sisters had planned to go for breakfast at Jurong Point before starting our shopping. My youngest sis suggested Old Town White Coffee as she had tried it in Malaysia and had liked it. We actually wanted to order the set menu but was told that the set menu was only available on weekday mornings. We only ordered drinks with kaya toast and french toast, but still ended up very full. However, I felt it was rather expensive as a cup of coffee cost $2, yet the taste was about the same as those at Toastbox or 旺角.















After the breakfast, we started walking around. It was not 11 am yet so we just wandered around for a while until most of the shops have opened. I managed to buy 2 pairs of working shoes to replace my old ones that were worn out. Hopefully they would not hurt.

We shopped till almost 2 pm before deciding to have lunch. My 大妹 mentioned that the Kopitiam at the old wing has just renovated so we decided to lunch there. However, all of us were not very satisfied with the food. My youngest sis felt that her fish soup noodles were too bland, while my mum felt that her vermicelli was too gooey and the pig's liver too hard. I ordered Yong Tau Foo but felt that the one at Vivocity was better.

After lunch, I went for a quick haircut at EC House before continuing shopping. My dad joined us after his work at about 5.30 pm. After shopping for a while more, my 大妹 was starting to get tired from all the walking and asked if we wanted to go home. We decided to have dinner first and my mum suggested the newly opened 莆田 restaurant. Luckily there was no queue as we were considered early. Perhaps due to the unsatisfying lunch, we ordered quite a number of dishes and was so full that we didn't even order dessert. My favorite was the stir-fried yam :)
