It feels rather weird for me to be posting pictures that I feel to have no depth in content. But these pictures are more meant to be a field report on the new
Novena Square 2. Those who have not been to Novena Square 2, this mall is an extension of the revamped
Novena Velocity formerly known as Novena Square. This extension bridges Novena Velocity to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The concept of this mall is
Seoul. Believe it or not, there are way much more stores than any building of the same size in Singapore, because the stores are small and the corridors are very narrow. The floor space is fully-utilized since the endless number of corridors intersect each other like an electrical circuit board, thus creating more small stores. Imagine ten times the Annex at Bugis Junction with four levels. Castrophobes beware! Shopping at Novena Square 2 can be a health hazard for you!
Approaching Novena Square 2 from TTSH side.
Staircase that leads from the underground passageway from Novena MRT station.Plenty of ladies fashion to bikinis.This escalator leads to the basement which is also linked to a Electrical megastore and Novena MRT station.Shops that appeal more to the ladies.An amusement centre that is spacious? Not a good idea.San Duo from 'The Kindred Spirit'?Shi Lin can be found at one corner opposite a kids clothings store. I wonder where is the crowd going to queue and eat?Ben's Collections moved over from Shaw Plaza while Toy Frenz is a more comprehensive store with a greater range of toys.Toy Frenz were not the best for an avid toy collector but they do have Takara Masterpiece to Gashapons.
Colorful wheels as decorations. Nice idea!Lerky Thai can be found besides Anderson's Ice Cream cafe.This balcony from the second level will be revisited later.The 3rd level is also known as the Little Seoul with All Things Korean.The bridge that links Novena Square 2 to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. There are travelators for both directions. Very patients friendly.
An interesting florist.
Every level, there will be one main toilet at one corner while the other corner there will be a small toilet. Here you can see one with just one basin, one urinal and one cubicle.
A hidden food court 'Fork and Spoon' can be found after taking a few turns.
There is a mini al fresco dining at the food court.
At the top level, there is an NTUC supermarket. I took some time to see what interesting stuff they might have here. Before entering the supermarket, there is a newtype OCBC ATM. Here you can see a packet of japanese mushroom.
What is Willow Mushroom? Yum!
Waist Tonic!? Tim Tam finally made it to the shelves with more flavours.
Mint slice balls. Ouch!
They have a mini Korean section.
Snacks with your favourite Korean celebrity?My favourite section is always the snack section.
Buy a piggy 3M hook for the Year of the Pig.They also have a Japanese food section. There are some interesting snacks here.I am back to the balcony at the second level.A Mango Lingo from the juice and smoothie bar that leads to the balcony. I took a good long break there and watch the sun set.
We had dinner al fresco style at Han's back at Novena Velocity. Apparantly, Han's has moved from inside the mall to the former Irish pub's location. Now, they can let their customers dine in their new ChillOut Terrace. Dining al fresco with light jazz and bossa nova music at the same reasonable price, excellent!
