This 'Hidden' Retro Corner In Orchard Has Photo Spots, Local-Inspired Gifts & Snacks
It's no secret: we just can't get enough of the retro-vintage wave, especially when it comes to old-school photo backdrops. If you're the same and on the prowl for your next picture-worthy spot, here's a little-known one that you can find in the heart of town!
Located right next to Cuppage Plaza (5 mins walk from Somerset MRT station), Taste Orchard is a multi-level supermarket and lifestyle space filled with everything from groceries to beauty products from international brands. Here, shoppers can even grab a piping hot meal from one of the eateries and cafes or relax with a tipple at the bar.
