Marks & Spencer

as i looked up from the sign that says Percy the Pig will make its appearance on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the festive season, I saw Percy walking down the hall right before me. what a fun surprise! since there wasn’t much of a crowd i jumped at my chance and took a picture with the adorable character. Parents, bring your kids down to ms for some fun pics with the pink piggy.

Despite the disappointingly small Food Hall (compare it to the size of the M&S Simply Food outlets in London, for example) this remains one of the few places in Singapore to reliably buy quality British foods, including Cornish Clotted Cream ice cream.

In my book, Marks & Spencer has everything. Clothes, accessories, food, vanity items. Everything in one place and definitely at an affordable price.
When I was scouting out for last minute presents, I stopped by Marks & Spencer because the last time I went there, I manages to purchase really good items like those fragrant lotions, healthy snacks, and that wide brimmed hat. Since my recepients were all female, it was easy for me to just put together a beauty and wellness kit using Marks & Spencer products. It doesn’t look cheap, and it seems well thought of.
This huge store is simply a wonderland waiting to happen. Definitely worth a visit every day.

Marks & Spencer has recently occupied Border’s old space. So in a nutshell, it has expanded a fair bit. The clothing there are usually catered to middle aged group. so I usually accompany my mother or father to go there and buy their clothing.
My favourite area has got to be their food hall which is filled with a huge variety of snacks and ready made food. I love their biscuits and their chocolates. especially their $ 1.90 praline chocolate bar. They also have a bakery at the food hall in this Marks & Spencer.

When I was younger, M&S used to be only popular for their Chocolate Digestive Biscuits — the clothing section of the store never did appeal to me, maybe because I wasn’t at the age range where I needed corporate clothes yet. But now that I am, I honestly would never have thought of purchasing any clothes from M&S at all, it all seemed to foreign and expensive for my taste. Recently I tagged along while a friend said she wanted to pick something up, which was when I discovered that there was a bath and body section in M&S.
Their range of candles, scents, body lotion and the works was so impressive that I found myself seriously considering carting a whole bunch home. Their scents range from the usual Vanilla to some more unique Cranberry fragrances that are super yummy and appealing. The burn time is also a lot longer than the cheaper range sold elsewhere so I think it’s money well spent.
Aside from their delicious cookie and sweets section, I would definitely recommend checking out their candle scents for some unique and hard to find fragrances that are of good quality!

Marks and Spencers has been in Wheelock Place for years but recently relocated to the space that used to house Borders. It was a good move for them as now the shop is way more accessible (it used to be spread across 3 different floors)
Expect the usual clothes, shoes, accessories and toiletries in all Marks and Spencers. Best part I think is the food section, which has now expanded a lot since its move. Theres a lot more frozen foods as well as a bakery that sells freshly baked goods.
For clothing Marks and Spencers is not that cheap, but it’s a good place to buy nice specialty food.

Located within the confines of the Food Hall at the back of the store where the CD and DVD sections of Borders used to be, is the M&S Bakery that churns out freshly baked buns and pastries.
I was shopping with my mother when we chanced upon it and based on the aromas rising out from the ovens, decided to give it a try. The only thing that it doesn’t have right now at the moment is a place to sit down and enjoy the freshly baked buns and pastries as it’s just a takeaway counter at the moment.
Hopefully, they’ll add some seats and turn it into a café so tired shoppers can rest and relax here.

The thing I enjoy about M&S would be their food offering namely their canned soup which comes in selections such as winter vegetables, asparagus & leek etc. The gourmet selection of soup sure beats a bowl of Campbell, although the chicken mushroom soup does put up a tough fight. Another great food product for me would be their dark chocolate digestives. Although healthy, the quantity I consume might actually be detrimental! Clothes wise, just plain boring and expensive!

I was thrilled when their flagship store re-​opened at the old Borders store. I hung around and found that there are new sections — there’s the first Marks & Spencer bakery and a section for the little ones. There are bigger departments too, to showcase a wider selection of clothes, shoes, food fragrances and so on. I usually go to Marks & Spencer to grab the promotions on biscuits. Their Dutch shortcake is really good.
To me, Marks & Spencer is not just a great place to get biscuits, it’s also terrific for buying gifts. While the items are classy and of good quality, I always manage to find something that doesn’t quite burn a hole in my pocket.

While I lament the loss of Borders at Wheelock Place, it was very exciting to see the first Marks & Spencer’s bakery in Singapore. The food section here is the biggest yet in Singapore and other than the usual delectable cookies, chips, and chocolates, they also carry quite a good range of breads. I cannot wait for Christmas season to come when M&S will traditionally carry old school English Christmas snacks in their store.
Taking up the whole area that used to be Borders also meant that this is the largest M&S in Singapore. Male shoppers will be glad to see the wide range of male clothing — a very good place to get office wear. Clothes generally cater to the older demographics — do not expect fashionable and revealing clothes catering to your teenage punk rock daughter. Instead, look to here for simple, conservative clothing that is comfortable and well tailored. Larger-​sized ladies will also like the size range that is available here. The only exception is the lingerie section. The range that they have is comfortable but at the same time sweet and beautiful — things that will draw many girls to spend hours in that section.

Long awaited, this solely marks & spencer department store has a great selection of apparels, stationeries and not forgetting the all new food section. Not just confectionery, the food section has a bakery and offers frozen food as well. My experience with Marks & Spencer in the U.K. had always impressed me. A quick and inexpensive lunch by picking a sandwich, a snacka nd a drink would only set me back by approximately 4 pounds (S$ 8.40)! The sandwiches were fresh and they even have a café in London that was rather tasty at low prices for London standards of living.
While the food section here in Singapore is not extensive, more and more epicurean products are being offered and they are not priced at skyrocket prices, per se. The wine selection is especially tempting, with great wines offered at great prices! Weekly offers where certain confectionery goes on sale like 3 for 2 makes the grocery shopping rather pleasant and enjoyable.
Check it out if you haven’t and you might find some hard to find produce at affordable prices like my balsamic glaze.
