    West side best side. Jurong East MRT station area is filled with so many different malls that cater to different cuisines, races, all walks of life. It's near the biggest outlet mall in Singapore - IMM. That area itself has so many different brands of bubble tea that caters to youngsters and any bubble tea lovers. When I dont feel like going to Orchard, I just go to Jurong East cos it's good enough :D

    Why the comparison between east and west? I stay in the east but my dream home is in central.
    Near outskirts of city, accessible and not far to anywhere, near to The Central catchment area (best nature in SG), damn lots of good food (Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar, etc, etc, etc, etc, so many!). Got night life, got day life, what you want can find.
    Only cons, expensive 💸💸
