We had the char kway teow and fried Hokkien mee plus the roasted duck for lunch at Jalan Kayu. The food was excellent and inexpensive too. CKT & Hokkien mee was $4 each and roasted duck was $16 ( half duck minus the drumstick---someone else got it before we could)
Visited Waterway Point Shopping Mall at Punggol in the evening but found the place swarmed with hundreds of people. All the eateries were packed and long queues waiting outside. We left without having anything to eat. Anyway, we weren't hungry. Below are some pictures I took showing how packed the place was.
We were at the Waterway Point Mall in Punggol again this afternoon for lunch. This time we ate at the Osaka Ohsho, a Japanese restaurant. We ordered the gyoza meal sets. One set was the fried chicken gyoza set and the other kimchi pork gyoza set. They were priced around $16 each. The total bill without drinks came to $37 which was quite expensive.
Taste-wise the food is not bad but not extraordinary.
Waterway Point is an interesting place to shop and eat. It is huge like Nex Mall in Serangoon and Jem in Jurong.
Pay Waterway a visit and you will like it.
The NE MRT line will take you there (NE line terminates at Punggol and Waterway is next to it)
I visited the newly opened Waterway Point Mall in Punggol this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find it to be spacious and huge compared to some other suburban malls in Singapore. I snapped some nice pictures and uploaded them to YouTube for my readers to see.
Waterway Point is a suburban shopping mall located in the town centre of Punggol New Town, Singapore, just beside Punggol MRT/LRT station. The mall was built as part of Punggol's first integrated waterfront residential and retail development,Watertown. It is the first mall in Singapore to be integrated with a town square and a visitors’ centre which provides an avenue for residents and the public to learn more about the heritage of Punggol through exhibitions and civic and community events.The mall had a soft launch on January 18, 2016 and will be officially opened in Q2 of 2016.
Located beside the Punggol Waterway, Waterway Point boasts of having the first ever suburban late-night shopping, alfresco dining and entertainment concept by the waterfront, setting it apart from other suburban shopping malls located around the area.
