The shopping centre is what you'd expect from a shiny new retail hub - lots of flagship stores with plenty of designer bells and whistles. There are still a fair few shops which are "coming soon", and we were spared an even more expensive day due to the fact that the casino doesn't open until December.
Great view of the Olympic Stadium looking rather splendid (and complete) in the September sunshine.
One of the best bits was the wide variety of dining options. Determined to try something new (i.e. not go to TGI, Wagamama, Strada, GBK, Jamie's, Pizza Express, Giraffe and definitely not Nando's (!!) - all of which are there) we went to a Malaysian restaurant called Jom Makan and had noodles and satay sticks and fried chicken and lots more too. Treat of treats, they had Pisang Goreng on the dessert menu, but just to be a fried banana snob, I will claim that it wasn't as good as the one I had from a roadside cart in Penang!
Shopping-wise, I did rather well: a couple of new jumpers and a Ted Baker suit.
Good job it's pay day tomorrow!
