yourself? MobiChef can help you experience a fine dining
meal in the comfort of your home without lifting a finger.
Just select the meal of your choice and the time, and the
chefs will do the rest. They will prepare all the necessary
ingredients, cook and then clean up your kitchen after the
meal. Choices include Chef Hazel Wilaiwan’s eight-course
“Fine Dine in Thailand” contemporary menu and the
Amore Mio menu by Chef D’Angelo Giuseppe. All chefs
can help guests customise a dining experience, from
specific diets to outside-the-box venues.

Afternoon Tea
Great Food
GREAT Food Hall, located inside Pacific Place, has unveiled
a brand-new look. The store is now divided into three ‘Great’
zones - namely ‘Be GREAT!’ Take-Away Zone (perfect for
fulfilling lunch needs), ‘Be GREAT!’ Fresh-Take-Home Zone
(offering jet fresh produce), and ‘Be GREAT!’ FMCG Zone
(featuring 2,000 exclusive brands including England’s Waitrose,
France’s Casino, Australia’s Woolworths and Korea’s You Us).
GREAT has also become the first supermarket to offer a refill
station for laundry and personal care liquid by New Zealand’s
Ecostore, encouraging customers to buy refill products instead
of new single-use bottles, to foster Green living and reduce
plastic consumption and waste.
