Shopping in Singapore

That irresistible shopping spree..


It takes a little bit of organization to charter a properly educated shopping tour, or else one can always drop in at the world famous orchard road for an extremely beneficial couple of hours that will have your hands full at the end of it. The street is indeed lined with malls and retail outlets that have just about anything and during the festive season, it is all bright and dazzling and a sight to see.

Not forgetting the hi-tech loving male counterparts, the Sim Lim Square is that ultimate paradise for electronic items, software and computer gadgets and there is also the Funan IT mall with its 6 floors packed with electronic gizmos.

The other great thing about the city is its bringing together of different cultures which necessarily result in great multinational and multi ethnic items that add a superb diversity to the whole shopping experience. This include the Arab streets that are lined with absolutely breath taking fabrics while Little India is that spicy spot in Singapore for anything Indian from handiwork to spices to the ever adored saris that south Asians never seem to get tired of.

The shopping needs not be restricted to day light as there are night markets especially in Chinatown where you can freely roam for a great night shopping experience. Maybe the most wonderful thing about the whole shopping spree in addition to the awesome bargains is the availability of so many designer brands that come together. Indeed places like the Takashiyama shopping centre as well as the Citylink Mall houses some well known brands in the global arena, thus attracting many international celebrities and the likes.

A fabulous shopping spree can only end on a great tone when there is a superb location to come home to and rest one’s weary feet. A serviced residence Singapore is so like a home away from home in spite of being close to the city’s hustle and bustle because of its private space and extensive comforts. Riverdale Residence Singapore is found just outside the central business district and is ideal for travellers and expatriates looking to relax indoors or carry out on some business ventures. These are excellent as short stay apartments Singapore as they have the services of a great staff in addition to the modern amenities plus a separate kitchen as well as the lavish comforts of a Jacuzzi, a swimming pool and barbeque area and even a fitness centre.
