More than just IT stuff
Before the doors were opened to the public on Friday (28 June), swarms of people circled Funan, eager to be one of the first to see what is inside the sleek new mall. Over the close to three-year-long renovation, the space got a whole new makeover not just in design, but also in its branding identity. We used to visit Funan to get cheap new electronics and tech gadgets, but now, it's also a place for so much more: retail shopping, working out, feasting on yummy food, enjoying the latest entertainment, and even learning more about plants. On top of all that, Funan is a great showcase of new and rising local brands. Many of the stores and amenities are also enhanced by smart features, making them worth a visit even if you have been to their other outlets.
With so many offerings and crowds to push through, it's good to plan where to visit beforehand. To help you out with that, here is our list of places you should not miss at Funan:
11. Butterknife Folk (#02-02)
This homegrown ice-cream and gelato joint is famous for its creative flavours, which include the locally-inspired Chicken Rice gelato with actual chicken stock, dark soy sauce and chili. Keep an eye out for special seasonal creations – there have been Pineapple Tart and Mooncake flavours previously. For more traditional options, try the Brown Butter Pecan and Cocoa-Nut, the latter also being vegan.
