My visit to Wheelock Place was quite an experience, and I'm excited to share it with you. This place is known for its unique design and a mix of stores and services that offer something for everyone.
First and foremost, let's talk about the design. Wheelock Place has an iconic architectural style that immediately catches your eye. It's a modern and stylish building that adds to the charm of Orchard Road. When I arrived, I couldn't help but admire the aesthetics of the place.
Now, onto the stores and services. You'll find a diverse range of shops and services here, catering to various interests and needs. Whether you're into fashion, electronics, or dining, Wheelock Place has got you covered. I particularly enjoyed browsing through the selection of unique boutiques and specialty stores.
In terms of services, the staff were friendly and attentive, making my visit pleasant. However, there's always room for improvement. One suggestion would be to enhance signage and wayfinding within the mall to make it easier for visitors to navigate.
For those planning to visit, here are some tips. Consider coming in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. Check the weather forecast as Singapore's climate can be unpredictable. And when it comes to budgeting, there are options for various spending preferences, so plan accordingly.
In conclusion, Wheelock Place is a must-visit destination along Orchard Road. Its striking design, diverse offerings, and central location make it an appealing spot for both locals and tourists. With a few adjustments to enhance the visitor experience, it could become an even more remarkable destination. So, if you find yourself in the area, take some time to explore and enjoy what Wheelock Place...
Read moreWas heading from the underpass from Lido Shaw towards Four Seasons hotel at 1110pm on 25 Aug when I encounter an incredibly rude security guard at Wheelock who thinks her only job is to block the natural passageway of people trying to exit the mall from the basement 1 escalator. There were no proper signages around the barricaded escalators, so it was only natural that I had to ask the guard if there is any other way out of the mall, but her response could not be more rude, as if I had interrupted her from her important business on her phone - she first pointed generically in the direction of ION while refusing to say a word, then shouted at me that she is ‘not obliged to help me with directions’ when I tried to clarify further. Firstly, I don’t understand why there is a need to block this natural passageway in the first place other than the clear message that if the shops are close and they can’t make any money off you, don’t be expected to be granted passage out through the mall. Even if it is absolutely necessary to block the way out, at least provide clear directions on alternative ways and not hire someone so disgruntled and unhelpful who just sits there like a lame duck creating unnecessary hurdles for people who just want to get on with their way. Very disappointed with the mall management for employing such subpar security labor severely lacking in professionalism and...
Read moreFormer key tenant was Borders bookstore, with its stickers that could be removed without leaving any residue, and the shelf after shelf of books and the rows after rows of freeloaders. I bought my first Birkenstock's here, a bright pink with gold spot design. Like one of those fugly shoes that you never think you'd own, but when you get them, you're surprised and ask what took you so long. Marks and Spencer's is here too. UPDATE- although to be precise, the second pair was a denim Birkenstock's lookalike, from the same store. And I did get a pair of shanzhai (or, should we say, phadthai-zhai) / fake Croc's from a relative via another relative. And I also had a pair or two of Sanuks. Never had UGGs. I also thought flip-flops were the ugliest thing, and resisted wearing them well into adulthood (like, you see people wear flip-flop at chalet. I wear Aldo. Not cos I atas. Cos I don't like their look and feel). The current fugly-at-first-sight shoes I wear is Skechers. Like so many of the other shoes, is also I copy my family members one. The first pair I wore was phenomenally song4. Does this count as a...
