I don’t know about you, but I’ve been playing “Christmas Hits” on repeat since Nov. 1, 2023.
After all, Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and nothing beats listening to these merry jingles to usher in the festive spirit.
This year, as I shop for Christmas gifts, I’m looking forward to scoring some of the best festive deals at malls around the country.
One such mall is Compass One, who will be offering a myriad of sales and rewards to attract shoppers.
Here are four food and retail stores that I am keen to explore at Compass One this holiday season:
Eat 3 Bowls
Location: #B1-17

As a diehard fan of braised pork rice, I cannot resist the urge to visit Eat 3 Bowls even though I am not a Sengkang resident.
With its diverse offerings, including street food and bubble tea, the Taiwanese eatery gives me a taste of the island whenever I miss it.
Shabu Sai
Location: #02-31

Just like many Singaporeans, I also love Japanese cuisine, especially Japanese hotpots when it is raining outside.
That’s why I am interested in heading down to Shabu Sai, which is opening this December, and trying out the all-I-can-eat Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki buffet.
I can also choose from seven soup bases and more than 60 food items. Nice.
Xpressflower.com
Location: #02-16

Besides the two eateries, I also look forward to visiting Xpressflower.com, as I love decorating my room with flowers and giving them to my loved ones to express my affection for them.
According to the brand, it is the only florist in Singapore with licences for Disney and Sanrio characters, including Hello Kitty and My Melody.
MoneyMax Jewellery
Location: #01-04

As one of the leading retailers of jewellery with a wide selection of gold, diamond, and precious gemstone accessories at competitive prices, MoneyMax is my go-to place to get a Christmas gift for my mum this year.
To make things even better, MoneyMax has also launched a festive promotion where customers can purchase 916 gold jewellery from S$99 and enjoy a 1-for-1 deal for its Truly Diamond collection.
The promotion is valid until Dec. 31, 2023. Terms and conditions will apply.

For instance, if you are a parent who is looking to spend some family time or a young-at-heart, you can swing by the mall to meet and greet Santa and his elf on Dec. 9, 10, 16, and 17 at 1pm and 4pm.
