Tour Singapore

Ann Siang Road

This lovely street filled with old shop houses is also an excellent place to shop, with plenty of stand-alone boutiques that sell something a little more out of the ordinary compared to the mega malls Singapore is known for. Ann Siang Hill’s shops include plenty of clothing stores such as Willow & Huxley, an umbrella shop for funky womenswear brands from around the globe, Mythology on Club Street for colourful party dress and independent labels from the Asian region and Aston Blake, for men who like smart tailored shirts and suits. For homeware we love Rose Citron French Design: the patchwork cushions are stunning.

Always take a bus to your favourite destination in Singapore. Buses are convenient and cost effective. Book an express bus ticket online from redbus.sg, save up on money and time, and splurge it all here!

OG Department Store & People's Park Centre

Rising just above the Chinatown MRT, OG is a household brand in Singapore known for its fashion, jewellery, cosmetics, watches and toys. It’s modern and distinctly international – with sports brands and a whole host of Korean cosmetics and imported products. Adjacent to it is the refurbished People’s Park Centre frequented for its textiles, haberdasheries, electrical /electronic goods, street wear, toiletries and luggage, all priced competitively. It’s a little run down, but great for bargains. The shopping centre is located inside the apartment building so follow the signs and head up the escalator to level 3. There’s also plenty of places to get a massage if you need a break.

TanjongPagar Plaza

This cream coloured building doesn’t look like much from the outside, but if you are looking for bargains then TanjongPagar Plaza is the place to come. The entrance is mainly taken over by beauty salons, manicurists and hairdressers, but with 130 shops here it’s a good place to bag deals on electronics, stationary and even textiles. If you fancy a bite to eat head up to the impressive second floor food court with fish soup being one of the specialities (there are five stalls dedicated to it).
