Illuma? Where's the "shine"

Went to Roomfordessert to order Nigel's cake this morning. I seriously didn't know that cake prices have increased by leaps & bounds! Now the novelty cakes are at $55/kg! I'm very sure when Valerie had her 1st bday, her cake was abt $40/kg and we ordered the musical barnyard, which was a 3kg cake. Anyway, we still went ahead to order one for Nigel since we like their choc cake.

After that, we thot of going to Illuma to take a look since we've not been there.. All I can say is.. depressing. The mall is prob about 70% occupied? The stuffs there are mainly the heartland brands with no anchor tenant. But it has a very big Japanese theme restaurant and we took the chance to take some cute pictures outside.

Other than the Jap restaurant, Illuma has many desserts place! Ice cream/cheesecake/cakes etc.. all those sugar-infused kinda food. I guess the mall's main target market are the youngsters so all these sweet stuff will suit their palate.
