This shopping mall in Sembawang estate has been there for a very long time but I explored the place rather thoroughly for the very first time today. It is a rather good place to be at for the whole family.
There is a cineplex on the top floor while Kopitiam and Sembawang Community Library are on the floor below, which are juxtaposed with shops like Sembawang CD store, 2 gift shops, Yamaha and Mount Zion Christian Book Store. The stalls in the food court sell various types of food. I recommend the Roasted Delights stall. The Roasted Duck Rice is a good choice. The only thing lacking is Malay/Indian food. The CD store is having a sale, like its other branches in other malls while the Christian Book Store is good for Christian literature and inspirational cards/ bookmarks. They are selling 3 Pass It On cards for $1.
The library is way too noisy for adults to have a good read or relaxation there. Students from the different neighbourhood schools flock to use the computers there. They make such a ruckus by playing or talking loudly to one another, oblivious to the irate stares of the people around them. Their parents stand near them but are indifferent to their antics. They probably think it is the librarian's job to get them to keep silent! Such useless parents. I was so close to getting them to shush. The librarian spoke to two of them to ask them to leave. I heard one of them scolding his friend for getting him into such a situation even though they were outside. Also, the magazines on display are rather limited in range and the teenage as well as adult collections are located in shelves seemingly cramped together and yet in a haphazard manner, in the middle of the library.
The storey below has shops like Popular/CD-Rama, This Fashion(a rather small and cramped shop though), Singtel and Sakae Sushi. The 1st floor is not very impressive while B1 has outlets like Central Bakery, Fast Food Delights(the Otah smells so fragrant and there are items like Kueh Tutu and Cup Corn), Eu Yan Sang, Mr Bean, Bangawan Solo, NTUC, and Guardian Pharmacy.
