Today I went to Funan to see see look look. The crowd is still heavy on the 2nd weekend of opening. It has a mix of different tenants, the basement and the outer tenants at the first stories are of F&B with a few at the different floors and the roof garden. Can see that management is trying to differentiate itself from raffles city.
I didnt plan to make a blog at first so did not take much photos of shop fronts.
First floor is a mix of different shops like UnderArmour, McDonald, Dyson. The entrance via the 2nd floor from the escalator bring you to Gong Cha and a Food alley. 3rd floor is the IT level with major player Best Denki and Courts, strangely no challenger. Other shops include some 3rd party shops selling laptops and IT gadget, dedicated Apple, Dell and Lenovo stores were spotted. And the DSLR camera shope are back namely Alan Photo and TK Foto. There is also a Bose and Audio Technica stores, game shops as well as a collectibles store. GV is at the 5th floor.
Took some shots on WeWorks
Afuri Ramen
Dinner time and F&B are packed. the queue to Afuri is crazy.
Tatsu Japanese Soba Noodles
Strangely, the queue is short a Michelin Ramen outlet located right outside the main entrance. The waiter is a japanese, and so is the cook. Show how much effort the brand puts into. Onsen egg is watery unlike some other place which is half cooked. Gyoza is generously filled up, the melon tea is wonderful. Order a shouyu ramen but does not taste salty. There is a taste of medical herb and truffle due to the leek which is cooked in truffle.
Urban Farm/Sky Garden
Nothing much to say about the farm but the garden is pretty with a restaurant and a football school for kids and the amazing night view.
Tiong Bahru Bakery
Located at the 4th floor, I ordered an chocolate eclair that taste bitter and a cup of Lemon ginger mint tea, a challenge as I hate ginger. when served it tasted mainly of mint. Never visit the orignal, so could not make a comparision but the pastry sure is expensive.
I definitely like the place. Most F&B are new that never heard before. Even Starbuck has to make way for a new coffee cafe. Will visit again some times. With Sim Lim closing down, this should be the next place to go for computers and cameras.
