We were present today at the officiating ceremony and are giving you a peak into the new shopping destination.  The merchandise and pricing may not be too far off from the sales we get back here in Singapore. However, there are some star buy items which are worth it, depending on what you are really looking for.  We spotted long queues outside Burberry, Coach for Men and some of the stores.  If you want the bargains, you’ll have to be patient and expect long queues at the fitting rooms as well as cashier counters.
