After the renovation, things seems to have changed - where once we could get fresh minced chicken, now we are not able to; But my biggest peeve is that every time I visit CS here, there are alway many trolleys in this area; sometimes it’s more than this such that no one can walk thru that area/passageway anymore, and it looks so unsightly. Same as CS Siglap. Whilst like it was maximizing she w space and such but someone forgot to plan about the reloading/restocking operations. 😫😫😖😖😣 And the new renovation look, makes the whole place darker and ‘smaller’- very ‘claustrophobic’ feeling. Not liking the new revamped look.
