My girls have been deprived of going out since we were both so busy running the food business.. I felt bad but I made a pledge to bring them out whenever I can or have any free time. They were ecstatic last week when we told them we were heading Orchard and it was going to be to Ion, the swanky mall. I had not been to Orchard for some months and it was a good time to get acquainted with my favourite shopping area once again.. I miss this place a lot. I miss hanging out at Borders Bistro with my friends and I miss Plaza Singapura’s buzz, CK Tangs basement, Isetan’s supermarket and most of all, I miss walking into Takashimaya checking out the Muji stuff.. do they still carry out Muji’s products?

So, to Ion we went… gosh it was exhilarating. The colours were just vibrant and the floors shone better than oily T-zone! I was impressed! The route leading to Ion was also brilliant. The designer labels were all there.. hmm I wonder if this place has more labels than Paragon? Not that I am into this but just thinking…. we dined at the foodcourt.. buzzing but apparently some of the kiosks didn’t seemed to have much business.. some were closed! I meant not operating anymore. I heard that the high rental is the reason that you can have a queue on your food items but it is still never enough to make a tidy profit!

After a few hours of jalan jalan, dinner at the basement, we took a breather outdoor along Orchard Road and got the girls some ice creams before we went home. Not a shopping trip but just nice, spending time with the family.
