the new jurong point.

is damn big. and super crowded.

the roommie wondered, did all the people living in jurong came by for a walk and dinner at the same time? haha, silly him. but honestly, the crowd is atrocious. jp is indeed a shopping mall that no matter which day, what time, festive season or not, is very packed with people. shrugs. and they even extended the carpark to a lot, a lot of lots. still, i had difficulties lookin for a space for roommie's honda. where did all these people and cars come from???

see, where is the recession?
anyway this is the new stretch of jurong point, about 200% bigger than the old one. and all the shops look so interesting, especially the stationery outlets. and guess what, i found artbox in jp. grin, artbox sells many cutesy and pretty things. and of course, my fav buys are their post-its and checklist pads. thanks to dear partner who introduced this shoppie to me. =)




and breadtalk has new stuffs, some colourful, pretty icing bites. wonder what's that yeah, but i didnt really have the chance to explore them further cos the place is damn crowded and the roommie is already quite frustrated with the crowd.


and bakerinz had a really weets display of sweet treats, looks yummilicious. a pity i didnt really take a good shoot. and it looks crappy.



and there's my fav starbucks, javachip blended. slurps.



dinner was at benten cafe, level 3 @ the old jurong point stretch. has been wanting to eat at this place with the roommie since it opened a couple of months ago, the foodie looks good whenever we passed by this place. i had the hamburger curry rice while the roommie got himself a char siew pasta (less the chilli powder in the picture) instead.








the verdict is: food is nice, but only the so-so nice. something that we might be able to find in a normal cafe and at a lower price. the hamburger patty is good though. but it's a good place to hangout and have desserts yah. the desserts look yummy, unfortunately we are already too full to eat more.
