By | Shopping, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

 Heart2Heart was happy to meet five beautiful and very enterprising women behind Cura V.  Thank you to Nicole Whisenhunt for introducing me to her store and her partners.   I heard they are doing very well in the Powerplant mall!  MORE POWER!!

Cura V’s proclivity towards diversity can be attributed to the brand’s guardians – the five remarkable women who not only founded Cura V, but who continuously and tirelessly scour cities to meticulously sift through the fray and discover treasures to add to the store’s collection:

Pho 24

We ate in Pho 24 at Powerplant Mall and since this was still last year, I forgot the names of the dishes already.  Sorry about that.

Since there were some members of the family that don’t really eat noodle soup, we ordered from their sister restaurant right across, Banana Leaf 🙂 They allowed it
