OK, so Marina Bay Residences are soon to be my new home. As such, it appears that I will be spending quite a bit of time at the Marina Bay Link Mall located directly below the Marina Bay Residences.
The Link Mall is in the financial district at the DT17 blue Downtown MRT station. Clearly this shopping/retail/restaurant outlet is here for the throngs of employees who work in this area Monday through Friday. Other than Din Tai Fung, which is slammed any hour of the day and any day of the week, the Link Mall is really busy during the week and much slower on the weekend and at night.
I was in and out of this mall the last four days. Calling it an actual mall might be a stretch, but I will not bicker over trivial matters.
A small grocery spot, a wine store, a dry cleaner, a nail salon (a few of them), about 20 food options, a drugstore, a medical and dental clinic, an office store. Then they have a spot selling books and another sellign flowers. And then also the DT17 MRT station is right there too. If you live or work in the area, this "mall" has probably all you might need.
So in the general realm of retail and restaurants for the working population or you are looking for any of the countless big & fancy shopping experiences around Singapore, this place most likely will not be anything special for you.
If you live in the financial district area and soon discover that there is a lot of construction and retail coming along in the coming years but not now, the Link Mall will be your saving grace on basic retail and services that you require that is close and easy.
