To satisfy my curiosity and to keep in touch with what’s new, hot and happening in Singapore’s suburban towns, my family recently visited nex, the biggest shopping mall at the Northeastern part of Singapore.

Anchor retailers at nex include Isetan, FairPrice Xtra, Cold Storage and Courts. One can also find specialty retailers like Challenger, Kiddy Palace, Virtualand, Charles & Keith and The Pet Safari, as well as the more run-of-the-mill mass market clothing chains like G2000, Esprit, Cotton On, and more.

What I particularly like about nex is its selection of food glorious food. One can choose from over 90 outlets to stuff one’s face.

Movie goers and Karaoke kings and queens can also showcase their talents while whittling away their recreational hours here.

Perhaps the most unique feature of nex is its SkyGarden featuring a dog park and a dry and wet children’s playground. Due to time constraints however, we weren’t able to visit the rooftop this time around, but I’m sure we will do so the next time we’re here.
