If you’ve exhausted all your options on what to do over the weekend, there’s no shame in heading down to your favourite heartland mall. After all, it’s where you can get to eat and shop just minutes away from your home.
For Northies, we’re talking about Northpoint City of course, where a whole bunch of new stores have opened up recently. These newcomers include the first DON DON DONKI up north and clothing stores for the fashion conscious. Here’s what you can look forward to at your next jaunt here:
If you’ve been envious of Westies and Easties having their own DON DON DONKI , you don’t have to anymore. Now, you don’t have to travel far to get ahold of your must-have Japanese groceries, as they’ve opened their first outlet in this part of the island.
This Don Don Donki is safari-themed, so you’ll want to keep your eyes out for swinging monkeys right above you and lions hiding in plain sight. You’ll also be able to see Donpen and Donko, the penguin mascots, donning safari-ready outfits in the display signs.
These puffed corn snacks are sold in bags of 30 for $5.80-$6.80, depending on the flavour.
This outlet sells the usual horde of Don Don Donki snacks for your pantry. There’re also the ready hot bento boxes for when you need a quick meal. You’ll also be able to pick up household items from Japan. Check our best things to buy at Don Don Donki guide on what to add to your cart.

And if you’re in need of new undergarments that fit you well, Sorella and Triumph have opened in Northpoint City. They’re both known for their comfortable selections of lingerie.
The Aqua Yin Yang, one of the best-selling bras at Triumph, now comes in a wire-free option.
From Triumph, pick up their latest Wire-Free Festive collection that’s now available here. As the name suggests, these don’t come with the underwire that causes discomfort after long hours of wear. Even then, these still provide plenty of support for the girls so you can move about freely without them getting in the way.
Wonder Comfort from Sorella.
More comfortable bras can be found at Sorella with their Wonder Comfort line. These come with longer side panels that keep in underarm bulges. They also have a seamless look so they’re less visible under tight blouses. If you’re looking to stock up, Sorella currently has 2 ongoing promos at Northpoint City. You can get 4 bras for the price of 3, or 7 bras for the price of 5.
