Now, that’s one huge hypermarket! I think it is bigger than the one at Vivocity. It’s like neverending rows of stuff nicely arranged for your convenience so that you can start buying. I always enjoyed window shopping. Just go around and take a look at the goods and prices offered. Of course, I do buy some stuff once in a while. Usually some food stuff or perhaps even snacks. However, I normally go there on the weekdays and seldom do I see a crowd. In fact, the only crowd I see is at the food court and only during lunch hours. I guess this would be a great place to go if you hate the crowds and the supposed “excitement” often associated with crowds.

Anyway, there is a huge selection of stuff at Giant. I am sure that you will be able to find whatever you need there. And the prices at Giant is usually quite reasonable and considering that the rental there should be lower than the rental at Vivocity, perhaps they have more offers and discount at Tampines?

If you are thinking of going to the Giant Hypermarket, you an drive there. The plus point is the parking is free. Yes, you won’t find that often in Singapore anymore. Definitely more tempting than the one at Vivocity because the cost of parking (plus the crowd) at Vivocity is like crazy. If you are taking the bus, you can stop at Tampines MRT Station or Bedok MRT Station and take the free shuttle service. For Tampines MRT Station, the pickup point is at Tampines Central 4. For Bedok MRT Station, the pickup point is just at the bus stop in front of the Bus Interchange/Food Centre. The shuttle service comes about once every 30 minutes.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there is Ikea and Courts nearby too.
