It's a food court in Suntec City Shopping Mall (Singapore) ^-^

Pardon the poor quality of the photos. I was stopped from taking photos by a staff, so I quickly snapped some shots while they were not looking. hehe.....

One company actually reserved this corner for their lunch. If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have stayed around to take more photos.

I usually post early for PhotoHunt. For members only who comment, please post your link here so I can return your visit.

Wah! Nice woh, Singkapoh's Food Republic... over here, the Food Republic dun hv the public library 'theme' oso... but last nite I saw they have put up some olden days' "gadgets"... like public phones... hehe...

eastcoastlife said...

My angel,
I hope the food stalls in Malaysia's Food Republic is up to Singapore standard, or else so embarrassing.

The food sold at our Wisma Atria Food Republic is good. But the food at this Suntec City branch tastes bad.

Satkuru said...

wow couldn't agree with angeles. looks like the food republic over in spore has better settings :P

have a great weekend ! :D

eastcoastlife said...

satkuru,
Looks like I have to pop over to see the Malaysian branch lor. hehe....

Angel, I coming!

Colin Campbell said...

I used to work on the 32nd floor of Suntec City. This food court was not around at that time. I loved working there, except trying to get a taxi on a wet night.

eastcoastlife said...

Colin,
Yes, it's opened less than a year. My company's in Suntec City... I don't think I've seen you. hmmm....

ValleyGirl said...

Why didn't they want you taking pictures? You're like a travel brochure that EVEN CANADIANS read!!!

eastcoastlife said...

valleygirl,
Yes, I'm promoting Singapore, the places of interest, the businesses here.... and yet many times, I was stopped from taking photos.

A few times I was forced to delete the photos that I took. It's ok. Such places don't deserve to be in my blog.

Entrepreneur said...

Someone stopped me before (in a very very rude manner) from taking pictures of Food Republic at Vivo :(

I never went back to eat again (the food was only so-so).

julie said...

ECL, you had me. Thought you were really eating in a library. Hubby is beside me and asked to see if they caught you. LOL!

My entries will be up tomorrow morning.

eastcoastlife said...

entrepreneur,
I haven't been to the one in Vivocity. After the success of Wisma Atria, they tried to recreate the food court but failed.

I admire the company for its creative ideas. I once admired its marketing strategy, now I have second thoughts.

eastcoastlife said...

Julie,
hehehe.... when I first showed my friends the pictures of me eating in a library, their reaction was the same as your hubby's.

ellen said...

hello eastcoastlife!
Happy hunt sis...have anice weekend!

oceanskies79 said...

This food court at Suntec has a pretty interesting concept. However, I find that with the lunch crowd, I have not much mood to read there.

Napaboaniya said...

Ooorrhh! Later librarian FINE you then you know! LOL

The you tiao store not bad there :P
The decor is nice there, but it's a bit weird with the walkway in the middle with people cutting through to the mall.

coolingstar9 said...

Have a nice day.
I also come from singapore.

Criz Lai said...

Now I am wondering why Malaysia do not have such nice places to dine in. The closest similarity is a cafe in a book store :P

Huey said...

Eh? I didn't know they have that in Suntec City. Interesting one. :D

liza said...

TorAa said...

Hip hurray - what a hidden secret

day-dreamer said...

Haha I knew it wasn't in a library. :P

Happy weekend!

Judy said...

It's a shame they stopped you from taking photos. So competitive are the business world these days that they think you are copying their ideas.

Looks like a nice place to shop but your bowl of noodle soup looks nicer.

jams o donnell said...

Wow that's a great place to eat.I like all the books around. I won't try and re create the ambience by taking noodles into teh local library! Happy weekend

Carver said...

That looks like a cool place to eat. I enjoyed your sequence of photos and I don't understand why they didn't want you to take pictures.

DianeCA said...

Oh NO!! Now I am dying for a fast food fix!!! And by the way I love love love Asian food...would love to try your food court!

mama meji said...

Looks like a nice place. I'll remember that just in case...Food Republic, right?

BTW, belated Happy Anniversary. We're both wed in March.

keeyit said...

Oo.. got library theme ya.. We have a new food republic at Pavillion KL.

Fishman said...

I love Food Republic although I have only been to the one in Vivocity, Singapore. The theme is of olden days hawker stalls and it was great! I passed by the one in Pavillion, Malaysia before but it doesn't look as good.

jmb said...

ECL, you look like a terrorist, obviously. LOL. Eating in the library. You are a terror if not a terrorist.
Have a great weekend.

Sanni said...

ancient one said...

Spy pictures of people eating... Great Idea!

Barbara H. said...

There would be a lot to spy there!

pelfy said...

Wah.. At first I really thought you were eating in the library. Happy weekend!

maiylah said...

eating at a public library? :)
tried eating at a bookstore (they were selling food) but not at a public library, yet. lol.

mharia said...

nice place to eat! :)
reading and eating, some of my favorite things to do!

JC said...

You got me, lol... here I was wondering if they now allowed eating in our libraries ;-p

It's been years since I've been in one... and our food courts sure don't look like one!

Good job!

Pato & Pearl said...

Clever take ECL!! Pretty cool decor but I have to agree with you that the food flop big time not to mention pricey man...$3.50 for Prata???

Anyways, have a good weekend. The sun is shining out there ;)

Pearl

Hazel said...

hi, so good hah can dine in the library..do have a great weekend!

gizelle said...

Lol! Great spying job! The no photos allowed thingy could be scary sometimes ha...Have a nice weekend!

leslie said...

Cool...I would have done the same thing (take pics when they weren't looking). I once got a photo of a Swiss Guard at the Vatican before he started yelling "No Pictures!" hee hee

Jen said...

I've been stopped from taking photos too in places like that. I loved your take on this week's theme! VERY FUN!

Angela at mommy bytes said...

I hate when people shoo away cameras! I live for pictures. Love yours as always.

Randi said...

Wow ... nice place to eat!
I love your sequence of photos!
Happy weekend!

byrningbunny said...

It would be so nice to have a hot meal in a library.

It's fun that you had to sneak these pics, makes them seem more "spy" like.

Natalie said...

That's so weird they made you stop taking photos. Great choices!

TiOheM said...

I think it's a good idea to put up a restaurant with the name "Library".
Have a nice weekend.

Bonggamom said...

Eating in the public library.... you are so funny! I hope no one spotter you :)

Stine said...

Nice! Your country is one I'd absolutely love to visit...

david mcmahon said...

The Singapore food courts are great. I've been visiting Singapore since I was 12 years old and even though I was only there for two days in December, I shot 1000 photographs in that time!

Yen said...

Looks a great place to eat noodles:)

mousey said...

wow that is a nice place!

good you have that in your place.

Gattina said...

What a nice place ! I am like you, I love to take pictures when it's not allowed, it just adds some spice in a boring life, lol !

Blessed Chic said...

Nice entry, wish I could also eat in a library :)

LibertyBelle said...

That looks like noodles! I love noodles and what a great place to eat cause I love to eat when I read! LOL Looks like a great place!

Wow, eastcoast, this is an interesting food court! Are the books real? Can you take one and read it while you are eating? :D

Cindy said...

What a neat looking place to eat! I wonder why they didn't want you taking photos though.

alpha said...

this is a very interesting restaurant.

Gattina said...

Re the budda, it didn't cost a bomb, lol ! My son bought it when he was in Vietnam and payed the transport fees already there and all together it was not even the third of the price he would have payed if he had bought the budda here in Belgium !

Heather said...

That is so cool!

Smalltown RN said...

I love that library shot....how come they didn't want you taking anymore pictures? Thanks for the tour...

Jean-Luc Picard said...

What do these people think you're going to do with these pictures?

Sarge Charlie said...

JesieBlogJourney said...

This is a great spy. I wonder how one could smuggle good into the library.

A. said...

I can't believe that they stopped you taking pictures! What had they got hide I wonder?

amor said...

Spying the people eating at the food court,some wouldn't want to be observed.Some resto don't want you to take pictures.Been there,done that.

Trinity said...

LOL... I love Food Republic!! Ate there twice last December.. nasi lemak there is unforgettable..

L B said...

OMG, I was hoping you'd show us the photo of you 'dropping' everything wan! Dang!! Potong stim..

Heart of Rachel said...

It does look like a real library on the first photo. Suntec City must be one of the lovely places worth checking out in Singapore.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Cool spying! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

KISSEDALOTATOADS said...

Great photos,.. can't believe they made you stop taking photos in there,... what do they think you are going to do with them??? Good grief,...... they were Photo Hunt,...lol. Have a great week.

Jewelle Tan said...

Wow! I didn't realize that they are particular about phototaking - because I like taking pictures of shops...
