Review Detail
J Cube is easily spotted from Jurong MRT station as it is just a short walk away. It is hard to miss too, especially with it being built like a rubik's cube when it is being twisted. At night, the lights will be lit and it is extremely dazzling! There are many shops in J Cube too, despite it only being four levels high. Apart from the typical shops you can find in other shopping centres, such as KFC, there are franchise of the not so common shops as well! If you are a dessert lover, you will definitely love going Pique Nique, which has just recently opened in J Cube! And the shop Sticky which sells colorful flavorful sweets has an outlet in J Cube as well, with an artistic cafe feel. IMax 3D theatre is available at J Cube too. So for a better movie experience, J Cube definitely got it!
The most special attraction in J Cube, has got to be the ice skating rink! I believe many will stop in their tracks to observe the people on the skating rink for a minute or so. The olympic-sized skating rink is located right in the middle of the shopping centre, at level 1. The interesting thing is that it is an open concept, where customers dining in the restaurants surrounding the skating rink can look at the people skating while dining! In addition, the restaurants and shops on the higher levels are built in such a way that they are 'surrounding' the skating rink as well! I was having dinner at Manhattan Fish Market at J Cube last thursday night and when the skating rink was closed to public, two ice hockey teams had their match there! It was my first time seeing people play ice hockey in real life and we were awed by their skills!
I will certainly go again in the near future, as I am very tempted to go ice skating after seeing the skilled skaters skating on the skating rink gracefully. However, as it is an open concept, it might get a little embarrassing as I do not know how to skate but I am sure it will be fun! Food wise, there are many choices to choose from. But the halal choices are quite limited, as there are only KFC and Manhattan's Fish Market and the halal stall in the food court. Perhaps they could bring in more halal restaurants!

"Awesome place for the west-siders!"
All along, I thought Jurong point was the best place to visit in the West side, as I had been to some other shopping malls at the West side and they did not impress me. However, as my school is located near Jurong, I gradually got sick of Jurong point as well. Am I glad that there is a new shopping centre to spruce up my school life!
