Underground Shopping at Marina Bay Link Mall

 

You may have heard about CityLink Mall which is Singapore's first underground shopping mall. Opened in 2000 and located in the Marina Centre area, the CityLink Mall has a wide range of popular shops and food outlets. Plus, it's directly connected to two MRT stations which are City Hall MRT Station and Esplanade MRT Station. However, in today's post, I'll be talking more about the Marina Bay Link Mall which is one of the newest underground shopping malls and it's located in the Raffles Place and the Marina Bay area. The Marina Bay Link Mall is a competitor to CityLink Mall although the developers of the mall don't see it that way. Compared to its competitor, the Marina Bay Link Mall has fewer people and most of the shops found here can't be found in other places around Singapore. Furthermore, it mainly caters to the working people working there and it's directly connected to Raffles Place MRT Station and Downtown MRT Station (opens in 2013).

Beverages @ The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Previously, I talked about cakes and desserts that I got at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. You can check out the article here. Today, I'm going to talk about the delicious beverages that are sold here. Sometimes, we just want to have an expensive drink to indulge instead of the usual soft drinks we get from the fast food restaurants. The Coffee Bean serves a lot of drinks from coffee to lattes to ice blended drinks. Do note that one small drink can cost about 5 to 6 Singapore dollars and it's certainly something you should indulge in once in a while. Let's check out the beverages that I got from the Coffee Bean.

Cakes @ The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Smell that? That's the smell of roasted coffee beans and freshly baked cakes at The Coffee Bean in Singapore. Starbucks and Coffee Bean are probably the biggest arch enemies when it comes to Ice Blended and Coffee drinks. In fact, I think The Coffee Bean is better. Anyways, today, I'm going to write about all the various cakes I tried out at the various Coffee Bean outlets in Singapore. My favourite outlet has got to be the outlet at Bishan Junction 8. Don't worry if you don't live near Bishan as there's tons of outlets islandwide.
