City Square Mall may seem like Farrer Park’s personal heartland mall, as it’s just a minute away from Farrer Park MRT Station, but in effect it really is the heartland mall of the North East Line. Located right smack in the middle of the purple line, this takes a maximum of 24 minutes to get to even if you stay at the tip of line, AKA Punggol.
Home to several big brands such as Uniqlo and Decathlon, this is one of those malls you can spend hours at just shopping. Thankfully, it also plays host to many food options to fill your tummy with in-between all that walking and trying out clothes. What’s more, there are several food lobangs to take advantage of between 1 July and 6 August 2017, so you can save on nosh and spend more on posh looks!
Streats serves halal-certified dishes inspired by Hong Kong, Macau, and Indonesian cuisines. You can get an appetiser of Crispy Silver Fish ($7.90++) to start. These are addictive to snack on before the mains arrive, especially since they are not greasy. For something simple and comforting, their HK Shrimp & Chicken Dumplings Noodles ($9.80++) comes with springy noodles, fresh veggies and juicy dumplings. If Western food is your jam, go for their Chicken Chop Spaghetti ($11.50++).
Promotion: Get a free main course for every three mains ordered.
