Well I think the publishers it choose to stock are more expensive. For example, it doesn't stock cheaper paperbacks such as Wordworth or Penguin less costly versions. There is also no discounted books section unlike in Borders.
Comparing with Borders, it also has a lack of seating areas.
However, it does offers a very wide selection of titles, and many of these will probably cost you more if you choose to order from an online bookstore, considering the exchange rate, shipping cost, etc. Moreover you can place a special order for an unavailable title, so long as their suppliers have it their inventory. Service- wise, I think the staff are generally helpful and demonstrate initiative. Once, I requested for a book via email, and they kindly place it in their counter for me to pick up, without a second question, or me asking for them to do so.
I think what is special about Mos Burger is its Rice bun, instead of the usual Bread bun that we find in almost all burgers. My favourite is the Eel Burger, but I don't think they are still selling it. I tried the seafood burger before, where carrots and seafood are fried together in flour, and stuffed between the Rice bun. The Japanese style salad is another item I tasted, but I don't find either of the 2 are mouthwatering enough to tempt me to return for more, unless I need a quick bite.
But on the whole, I think Mos Burger still offers fairly appetitising food (depending on individual taste) such that it has a faithful stream of followers.
This Chomel outlet at the new extension of Jurong Point, after the latter undergone a major renovation, has only opened its doors since last Dec.
Most Chomel outlets occupy a counter in department stores, this outlet actually has its own shop. However, I thought the selection of merchandise was not comparable to the outlets in Metro(Paragon), and Isetan (Scotts). True there was still a wide variety of jewellery, hair accessory, etc., but still the variety and design of hair accessory available were not as good as those in the above 2 mentioned outlets.
The service staff was alright. There were other customers around when I visited so they were too busy attending to them to bother about me.
My experiences at Metro (Paragon) suggest that it offer excellent service compared to other department stores. This is due, largely, to it being situated in the heart of Orchard Road, and in a mall that is home to numerous top international labels.
But all good things come with a price. Although the price its merchandise don't run into the thousands, like some of its neighbouring shops. Still don't hope to find a shoe for $20-$30, as you would find in most other department stores.
Mentioning shoes, once when I was shopping for a new pair of heels there, the salegirl was patient and polite. I tried on several different pairs, she took them for them to try and helped me put them on.
Another time, I was in the bedlinen department as I bought a comforter set, I found it too cumbersome to bring it along as I shop, so I left it with the sale staff for a while. They were also helpful in my choice of new sheets.
The decor of this restaurant is reminiscent of the interior of a ship in the olden days. However, it is not very large, and during lunch many of its tables are reserved for the office crowds. So go early if you want to grab a good seat, unless you want to be left waiting at the bar.
Try the set lunch as it is value for money. Most of the other items are pricer. However you can add $5 to a main course to enjoy a set meal with soup, drink & dessert. Don't expect anything extraordinary, the soup, dessert are ordinary and you will probably enjoy better quality food at Delifrance or Jack's Place for the same price. The dessert I had that day was a scoop of ice-cream dumped into a silver tin ice-cream bowl. The presentation of its food lacked class, and cutlery could do with improvement.

Overall, the main course was edible.
