There’s also a well-equipped kitchen should you wish to do some simple cooking, although your food needs can also be served in the VivaCity Mall, where there are almost endless options from a KFC to a Raw Juicery. We advise that you get out and explore the city, of course. However, you could easily spend the entire holiday in the mall and never get bored.
