Singapore City Shopping

  1. DFS Galleria Scottswalk

    DFS Galleria, with its distinctive bright red exterior, is an alluring place - and the interior is no less attractive. The ground floor is done out surprisingly tastefully with replica shophouse and Asian architecture and here you'll find good quality souvenirs, though it's a little pricey. Everything from SIA stewardess dresses, to nicely packaged chopsticks to pre-packaged local food like chicken rice.

  2. Funan Digitalife Mall

    The principal computer centre, Funan is the place for brand-name goods, a better bet than Sim Lim Square if you don't know exactly what you're doing. There are dozens of computer shops on the top floors, as well as a large Challenger Superstore.

  3. Golden Mile Complex

    This is Thailand: the whole human circus wrapped up, packaged inside an unattractive shopping centre and transported to Singapore (minus the motorbikes running you down on the pavement). This is the place to come for Thai groceries, including all the essential roots, leaves and pastes you'll struggle to find anywhere else. Stay for lunch or dinner.

  6. Suntec City

    This is Singapore's largest mall with endless shops selling all manner of goods, a staggering 60 restaurants, cafés and a food court. One of the biggest crowd pullers is the Fountain of Wealth, which was once accorded the status of 'World's Largest Fountain' (although sadly not the world's most attractive fountain) in the Guinness Book of Records.
