I've had to think this through a few times. To share or not to share this gem of a place. To do them justice, here goes!
Our favourite new mall is the Kallang Wave Mall. Situated right next to the new indoor stadium, it can be quite confusing to locate. Once you get it right though, it's easy to navigate with ample parking and escalator ramps which are great for strollers.
The highlight - fairprice extra. They have kiddie trolleys and cars. A deposit of $10 is required before you can "hire" one. My kids love this supermarket because of the trolleys. Apart from cold storage jelita, I don't know of any other supermarket with these trolleys in singapore. We end up buying stuff we don't need, just cos they get a kick out of steering and filling up the trolleys with food. A sure way to increase sales.
The other highlight in this mall is a new cafe - restaurant - bar called Straits Express. The outside of the restaurant is fashioned after a train - quite novel. It's on the ground floor right outside, facing the water and next to the taxi and drop off point. If you have an elderly person on a wheelchair, it's an ideal location to dine.
We ordered chicken chop, assam laksa, bakawan kepiting and fish & chips. They did not disappoint! There are 3 chefs - one from singapore, one from malacca and one from penang. The western food is hainanese style - and it's way better than Hans! The chicken chop was fried to perfection and comes with a curry gravy - super yum and we asked for second helpings of the gravy!
The assam laksa didn't disappoint either. Full of ingredients and the broth was chock full of fish.
The bakawan kepiting was also good - the broth was tasty with a hint of crab flavour from the meatballs.
Fish and chips were also good. We have been back twice since, and tried the rojak, char kway teow, nyonya laksa, prawn mee. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. Since its right next to the water, fidgety kids can play or scooter outside whilst parents finish off their food. They will definitely be seeing more of us!
