Lido is one of them old' school theaters. They serve up traditional popcorn and coke, the walls are lined up with posters from the 60's and 70's kind of movies, and the last time i went there, there was even a kacang-puteh cart !
If nostalgia is what you're looking for, Lido seems to be overflowing with it. The oldies would appreciate Lido cineplex better then the younger generation. Simply because, Lido has been around for ages !! It's screened some of the best of the last centuries' movies !
As i understand, the Shaw management are trying hard to re-vamp the image of Lido, without creating a dent on the cineplex's old school image.
With Starbucks, KFC,MacDonald's and Subway alongside the theatres, Lido goer's aren't exactly without a variety of food choices.
Though i must say, the theaters in Lido aren't the cleanest or the most comfortable in recent years, i must recommend movie-goers to try it again.
Lido Cineplex has just undergone a refurbishments of it's cinema's seats. It feels...a lil' more comfy then it was.
And also, the best thing about watching a movie at Lido ? I could always bring in my Starbucks Latte into the theater. They're absolutely ok with it too ! :)
Try it. Give it a chance. After all, its stood the test of time. Let it stand still in our hearts as one of Singapore's grand theater.
Ok, i shouldn't say huge because it's been said too many times in the reviews above. So, i'll say.. big.
But by saying Vivocity is big, i would be implying Plaza Singapura is a dwarf !!
Whatever the size, it's really what's inside that matters. The variety of stores and food outlets in Vivocity is a miracle. My personal favourite ? Candy Empire. :) Every knows of Vivocity as a HUUUGEEEE deparmental shopping centre. But did you know that the opening of Vivocity recorded a massive flow of people into the shopping centre ? This makes it one of our favourite local attraction to date.
A whole floor dedicated to food outlets, Toys'R'us, a supermarket, movie theatre, and even a open view of Sentosa.. Vivocity is a uniquely different shopping centre.
Vivocity would count as one of Singapore's landmark tourist attraction AS well as her local's favourite. A true class shopping centre.
when i first walked past Carl's Jr (PS), i got the shock of my life watching a couple sharing a single huge burger !!!
a few days later, i decided to dine in with my girlfriend. it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventure into a fast food restaurant ! TWO huge burgers with a whole lot of fries and free-flow drinks, meant me and my girlfriend left the restaurant feeling like we wouldn't need a meal for the next one week !!
it was definitely worth our bucks (typical singaporean taste). and it definitely tested our belly-stamina ! truly recommended for all american food lovers !!!
