Known as *Scape (yes with the star), I often go there for shopping as things there are more affordable and trendy!
To get to this place, you have to locate Orchard Cineleisure first, which is the building on the left in the photo bellow. The building on the right is one end of Mandarin Gallery. I came from somerset MRT, which is nearer than orchard mrt.
(do note that the total time needed to walk from ion orchard/orchard mrt to 313 somerset/somerset mrt is a mere 15 minutes. So if you're at,.. say takashimaya, there is NO NEED to go back to orchard mrt and then take a train to somerset in order to come here)
Ah... so sad and empty. Because I came on a weekday! Come on friday to sunday and be amazed at how many more shops there would be!
China Glaze ail polish is sold here for $6 a bottle, while Essie and O.P.I nail polishes are sold for $10. I have not found any other shop that sells such high quality polishes at a low price!!
But if nail polishes are not for you, explore the first floor of this mall a bit more and you'll find other shops selling clothes, dog clothes, shoes, accessories, handphone covers etc. I usually don't explore the higher floors, where there is a Sakae Sushi, Kbox (karaoke) and some dance studios.
This place is a bit odd, as the basement of the mall is only accessible via two staircases.
*Scape underground holds is another level of shopping at affordable prices! A handphone case may cost you just $3, while a dress may cost you $25.
While you are in the area, consider having a more local meal at either Toast Box or Old Town Coffee, or go eat my favourite PONTIAN (wan ton) noodles at Orchard Cineleisure just next door! :D Read more about it here.
