I have been to Singapore many a times, but stayed in a Orchard Road Hotel for the first time. For the uninitiated, Orchard Road is a must see and be seen place in Singapore. Its a shopping mecca and a yuppie hangout place.
Being the holiday season a stretch of the road was all decked and was glittering in the night. It was fun to leisurely stroll across and do window shopping.

True to its reputation, I found Orchard Road busy all the all the time with locals and tourists alike.

Found my favorite Burger King and Star Bucks just a stone throw away from my Hotel. Burger King was the first one to come out with 'Veggie Burgers' in early 90s in Columbus, Ohio and I love the Star Bucks Cafe latte. Miss both these joints in Chennai.

(As usual, I ended up in Mustafa for shopping and utterly disliked the shopping experience. I aisles were narrow, over flowing with stuff and people. It was impossible to stop and look at display without being jostled around. That said, I am sure I will go there again. I kept asking, if I don't like it, then why go? The only answer I could come up with is the feeling I get of 'getting a good deal' at Mustafa. Here, I am equating 'good deal' to the price I pay for the goodies I buy..)
ram, mustafa sucks, its an airconditioned ranganathan street. and NTUC offers equally good deals for groceries and shops along serangoon rood for ohter things, i still don know why indians persist with mustafa.
ReplyDeletesome travel 1 hr to shop at mustafa, i do understand why
ada-paavi!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know.. but Muftasa does have an allure to it.. Interestingly, it is not just the Indians.. I saw even some the other tourists and Singaporeans shop there..
