🤝 My Orchard Road Moment
I still remember ducking into a mall during a surprise downpour. By the time the rain stopped, I’d wandered through the Book section at Kinokuniya, grabbed a kopi at a designer café, and caught a silhouette portrait artist snapping photos of shoppers. It struck me then—Orchard isn’t just a spree spot. It’s a microcosm of city life, where people-watchers and fashion lovers collide.
