Orchard Rd, Singapore was swarming with locals and tourists who were mostly taking site tour before the night F1 begins. I'm only posting about ION Orchard the latest malls offering brands that ranges from luxurious to the daily use as this was the place I had spent the most interesting time!
The plaza housed many brands that ignorant me had not seen before. Including one Gusttimo Di Roma, that got people queuing up right down to the sidewalk. There were some interesting facets to the building too, at one foyer, a look up at the blue glass ceiling will provide you with shadows of sea creatures, be it sharks or turtles! There's also a hallway that house only jewelers, standing there suddenly make me feels so rich (or poor)... hahaha...
The varieties in Food Hall in B4 are AMAZING!! The taste of the few that I had so far weren't bland at all! It was quite delicioius. You can check more about the wide varieties of restaurants in the food hall
here in the website supplied by ION Orchard main site.
I'm gonna share a few shots of some interesting bites I had; clockwise from top left; pancake rolls of green tea and red bean, Teochew style scallop on noodles, art pieces from seating area, Teochew noodles that was the base for the scallops, another art piece from seating area, The Nautilus Project not in Food hall but specialize in seafood and interior does feels like a shell.
One of my favourite stalls in Food Hall was Marvelous Cream the Japanese ice-cream stall of course! I had a hard time selecting which petite little parfait concoction to savour. In the end I had, No.5 Belgium Noisette Chocolat and No.6 Passion Mango Trifle and a little spoon off No.1 Strawberry Shortcake. (Each retailed at SGD5.90. Travel packing sold separately)

Cons about Food Hall; Ok, finding a seat during peak hours(well most hours on weekend is peak) is quite a challenge especially if you are in a large group. Just need to hang around awhile.
