[SPONSORED] There are dozens of malls in Singapore, but Changi City Point, located next to the Expo MRT, is worth the journey east. Not only is it home to a heap of premium outlets, there are lots of F&B options too, including hidden gem The Oasis, which offers great food and affordable drinks in a resort-inspired atmosphere. Here are five great reasons to head down now.
