Seasoned shoppers in the Southeast Asian region know where to head to satisfy their cravings: Singapore! A haven for shoppers, culture hunters and fun chasers from around the world, Singapore is the world’s playground on the Southeast Asian landscape. In order to fully immerse yourself in the variety of vibrant offerings this city has to offer, invest in a quality Singapore executive apartment that will cater to all your leisure and professional needs with the greatest of ease. The Ascott Raffles Place Singapore is a fine option for sensational Singapore serviced apartments in the heart of the city that will not disappoint. If you crave a break from the norm, head over to Singapore’s lively Little India section, which will provide you with a delightful glimpse and fun foray into the real thing, Singapore style. If you’re looking to land some great deals, the Mustafa Centre is a great starting point, which offers you rock-bottom prices on everything ranging from electronics and clothing to DVDs and food. It is located on Syed Alwi road, off Serangoon Road. For an experience more authentically Indian, head over to Tekka Market and enter a world suffused with bright colours, a cacophony of sounds and interesting scents that urge further investigation. It’s the number one place to land some authentic Indian food, as well as herbs, spices and brass oil lamps and pots. If you’re a gadgets enthusiast, head over to Sim Lim Square on Rochor Canal Road and be prepared to haggle over everything from CDs and DVDs to computers and various consumer electronics in this electronics mecca tightly squeezed into one building. In general, avoid the first and second floors as they tend to grossly over-charge tourists, but be aware that some of the electronics on offer aren’t exactly the genuine article, so either know exactly what you want and how to recognize it, or know that you’re getting exactly what you’re paying for. On Kitchener Road, you’ll find the first eco-friendly shopping mall in Singapore, serving up an excellent array of value-for-money goods, exciting promo items and traditional Singaporean street fare as well as international cuisine. Also check out the Little India Arcade bursting to the seams with saris, gold jewellery accessories and a great Indian sweet meats outlet. So whatever your shopper’s preference, Little India serves up a great array of options to suit your wallet!
