Orchard Central

Was at Orchard Central on a Sunday evening, and stumbled upon a fashion show. The stage was set, and there was a group of people waiting for the show to start.

photogs on standby
let the show begin!

And so, tried snapping a few pictures and here's what I've got.





Seriously, Orchard Central has quite a low volume of shoppers on a Sunday evening, say compared to Somerset 313. Some new eateries have also sprung up there. Just wondering if the business can be sustained with such low traffic.

One the new place is Cold Stone Creamery. Wanted to try this so ordered their Peanut Butter ice-cream. To order, you'd have to indicate which size you want (with size names such as "Like It" or "Love It"), and depending on the size, the flavours of the ice-cream + mix-ins or preset flavours. I chose their preset flavour, Peanut Butter.

peanut butter ice-cream, is ice-cream + fudge + cookie(brownie?) then add substantial amt of peanut butter from a jar

Extra stuffs like the waffle-cone costs a dollar more. The smallest size is actually quite adequate for a single person. And the peanut butter was good! Sinful, and good. Sinful, cholestrol and diabetes inducing probably but still good! Hahaa. But maybe paired with dark chocolate ice-cream would be better?

lobster porridge

Have you tried any restaurants at Orchard Central? The previous time I went, was to get away from the maddening crowd at nearby Somerset 313 and ended up at Ya Kun Orchard Central. Haha. So this time round, went to eat proper, at a chinese restaurant that serves lobster porridge.

They're having a 1-for-1 promo (@$29.90 with DBS card) for the lobster porridge, so we didn't mind trying that.

it's actually a lot of soup, see the pepper patches.. very peppery too

rice in lobster broth

lobster!
As in any Chinese restaurant, know that anything that they place on your table is actually chargeable. Haha.

Btw, did you know that one can get to CenterPoint from Orchard Central basement? I didn't but after yesterday, now I know. The decor at that part of the world linking OC and CP, feels quite country like. Nice actually.
