Why go
A quieter local mall that had a major facelift some years back. The anchor draw for visitors is Mercato, a premium/luxury grocer, plus a weekend air-conditioned flea market (Sat–Sun, ~10am–9pm per a Jan 2026 guide — reconfirm seasonally).
Less popular with Singaporeans than nearby KSL — treat it as a side stop rather than a destination.
