Update 2: awesome Deepavali decorations in the main hall. Vibrant colours, mellifluous music and happy folks taking pictures with their phones. Sadly, the mall has lost two of my favourite go to places in recent months, the Mr Dakgalbi outlet that served great food with good service, and the Haagen Dazs icecream shop in the basement. Still a good mall. Got some fine stationery at super cool prices in Popular book store. The Mr Shawerma stall in the food court has got even better.

Update 1: I tried out the new Wok Heyy at the food court and had their Singapore Bee Hoon. Was tasty but not quite the best. The portion size was generous. Also got my tongue and taste buds blown off by the Signature Dry Pan Mee from the Uncle Kin Chilli Pan Mee stall. I knew it was going to be 🌶 at another level for a first timer. Was fun and a learning experience. Survived and enjoyed it 🍜 🔥 🥵 .... just about 😉 😜. The Gurney Food Hall has a lot to offer.

The Haagen Dazs outlet in the basement has to be one of the better ones the franchise has in the city. We tried the strawberry cheesecake and macadamia nut flavours. Top-notch!! Service was friendly, too. Happy days 🍦😋 .

The Chinese New Year decorations at the mall are a sight to behold. Very well done. The shops are also all decked up for the grand occasion. We were served very well by a young man at the Skechers outlet. Very humble and kind service. At the food court Mr Shawerma was better than before. The chicken was well grilled and was delicious.

Update 1: The Christmas show is on. Great vibes and the decorations fill you with the zeitgeist of the festive season. Credit to the organisers to have the Christmas decorations made primarily from recycled material. The temporary stalls near the Mango showroom are selling some beauties. Lovely. Just clean your toilets more often with the additional footfalls in your premises.

Older review: Beautiful Deepavali decorations have come up at the main atrium. It is a bustling mall and usually more crowded compared to the more exclusive and upmarket Paragon down the road. On weekends it is quite a challenge to even get a footing on the escalators. The food court is quite nice with a large variety of foods. Some of the other restaurants are pretty cool too. With the new restaurants and bars opening in the neighbouring G Hotel it has become quite a food destination, albeit at a slightly higher price point. The cinema halls which we have not been to in a few months was in need of some TLC during our last visit. Some shops seem slightly short-staffed and this probably reflects on the level of service. But some standouts with decent service and good products are Bread History, Home's Harmony, Maxis, Daiso, Skechers, Swarovski, Popular Books and the Nespresso boutique.
