Orchard Rd
Lonely Planet review for Orchard Rd
Famous by name, Orchard Rd was once was lined with nutmeg and pepper plantations. Today it's the domain of Singapore's elite and well-heeled tourists, lured here by the shopping centres, nightspots, restaurants, bars and lounges. A showcase for the material delights of capitalism, Orchard Rd also possesses some sights of cultural interest where a credit card is not required.

Very pricey but a key Singapore shopping district
nadmac recommends this,
The activity on Orchard Road is one of the pulse points by which Singapore measures its economic health. It is lined by several large, upscale malls with high end brands, along with high-end storefronts, sketchy retail stores, and adult shops. It's worth walking along Orchard just to experience the atmosphere of one of the world's famous shopping districts. Plus being part of the crowds on the weekends gives you a sense of chaotic more side of Singapore.
