I went to the newly renovated Marina Square with crescentia the other day. Well, not so new, but i'm such a hillbilly. The mall was massive. Clean lines with a light, bright feel permeated the mall's atmosphere. So many shopping ops. So many makan places. Simply wonderful.

There's a lack of uptown boutiques though, no Prada, LV, Gucci or Ralph in sight - but you can always get them across the street at Suntec or in nearby Orchard. Although, the mid range brands are plentiful and screaming for attention.
You've got :
Esprit
Zara
Ms Selfridge
Creative Store
Crocs
yada yada yada

Enough to send your wallet crying rape at the end of the day.

We chose to try out Carl's Jr after much hype in the media. Yucks. What a terrible disappointment.

We had the:
1. Super Star
A large sized cheeseburger. The bun will appeal to ppl who like their bread a little denser. It was flavourful and filling. The patty is scrawny, very much what you would expect from a fast food joint. On the whole, burger king would be a more cost effective option.

2. Fish and Chips
I liked the fish fillets but Cre thought otherwise. She said it tasted 'funny'. You make your own assumptions. The chips (french fries) were horrid. Soggy and cold. Packed under the 3 fish fillets. A measely serving of tartar suace accompanied the set.

3. Onion Rings
Much raved, but equally disappointing. Overpowering taste of flour. I felt sick of it after the 3rd ring. Give this a try only if you must.

4. Waffle Fries
Just fancy cut potatoes. Much nicer then the shoe string cut fries that came with the fish and chips. However, again not worth the price.

5. Chocolate milkshake
Absolutely horrid. It was like the cow had udder diarrhea. No chocolate taste whatsoever. Just ickyily sweet vanilla-ish milk. So thick we had to eat the damn thing with a spoon till it melted.

We opted for the free flow drinks and wondered why the hell anyone would buy a large size when you could top up the drink. The free salsa dip and ang moh achar was disgusting in view near the counter. The messy counter looked like an MOEnv's nightmare. On the whole, i recommend a pass on the place unless you REALLY want their burgers.

Carl's Jr Experience -
Atmosphere : POOR. Too many lame people trying to act posh and overall messy counters and dirty tables.

Food : SUCKS. Horrid. Enough said.

Price Range : TOO HIGH. Even 10 cents is too high a price to pay for horrid food.

Service : MODERATE. You've got your regular eager-to-please mixed with the i-don't-give-a-damn-they-don't-pay-me-enough crew. And limited knowledge on their own products.

Overall : EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
