The route takes us through the malls of Punggol, Sengkang and Hougang-ish areas. Starting from Punggol MRT, we walked to Northshore Plaza, then Oasis Terraces, then Punggol Point, Rivervale Mall/Plaza, Compass One, Seletar Mall, Greenwich V, Hougang 1, Hougang Mall, and finally Heartland Mall.
We had lunch at Rivervale Mall (McDonald's), tea break at Seletar Mall (Ya Kun), and dinner at Heartland Mall (Burger King). You can also have food at any of the malls previously mentioned.
It was pretty good for the most part. Waterway Point, Northshore, Oasis and Seletar Mall were all very beautiful and scenic, as expected from the more modern estates in Sengkang and Punggol. But the rest, though, ewww. Punggol Plaza feels like basically anywhere else in Southeast Asia, with its green-tinted aesthetic and it's damp surroundings. Easily one of the worst feelings in a mall. Heartland Mall was also not great, being old and quite rundown.
If it starts to rain, just take the LRT. It's not worth getting wet over.
