There are obviously a lot of places yet to be opened but I think the new restaurants should be welcome additions for those working nearby and tourists staying in the area. Parisian cafe Angelina is already open as is London&#8217;s Hong Kong style restaurant Four Seasons and food hall Palette that has a variety of local coffeeshop specialties.<\/p>\n<p>I also found Japanese clothing brand 45R and Finnish textile\/clothing company Marimekko. Eagle&#8217;s Eye Art Gallery is showcasing work of Singapore artist Pat Teo. Unfortunately for Capitol Piazza, the mall is opening up during a weak retail scene in Singapore. It remains to be seen whether there is enough here to attract shopping traffic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1659\" style=\"width: 474px\"
