National Design Centre is located at 111 Middle Road and within walking distance from Bras Basah MRT. Explore all levels and embark on a journey of discovery. For those that are in the know, head on right up to Level 5.
reminds me of Helix Bridge
If you're a chocolate lover, head right up to Level 3 and meet with the good folks from Fossa Chocolate and Demochoco でもチョコ. Tried the Apple Brandy chocolate from Demochoco and it was good. Tasted like nama chocolate, with Manjari (64%) chocolate blended with Nikka’s Single Cask Hirosaki Apple Brandy (aged 12 years). That brings back memory of Nikka factory visit in 2015.

It was kind of interesting to just walk around the area and to discover interesting stuffs along the way.

As I was walking down the stairs, something caught my eye as it was looking out of a window. It was one of the ten mini Miuns one could find 'hidden' in National Design Centre.

National Design Centre is also having its Fifty Years of Singapore Design exhibition at Level 1. The exhibition chronicles the development of the Singapore design scene from the early 60s to till date.

At Level 1, if you're feeling hungry, there's Tanuki Raw with hearty food. But, it was so crowded, so decided to shop around Kpok @NDC.

Level 1 has many other installations including Funan Playsuite. There's a claw machine and you might win something from there!

good luck!
If you feel like having ice-cream, there's ButterKnife Folk with their delicious range of gelato. Hmm, there's an exotic and localized Chicken Rice ice-cream too. Are you game for it? I wanted the Infinite Happiness, but alas, it had eluded me. In plainspeak, it was sold out. So, I got the blueberry cheesecake instead.

Found another Miun-related item while I was enjoying the cool treat. Quirky and fun.
