Shopping in Singapore

Now there's alot of shops on orchard road...it is very similar to oxford road in london but a heck of a lot prettier with palm trees and really nice hotels...the Hilton hotel is opposite a large supermarket and a cinema complete with Subway Restaurant among many more. The Metro is a short walk from the Hilton and is very close to Borders Bookstore. You will find many jewelry shops around here too. But if you really want to stray away from the beaten track then take a trip to Sentosa View, this is on the metro stop called Harbour Front...it is called the Vivo Centre and really combines great eating and shopping with also a small tram ride available at a ...  Read the complete review

Ahh, my main loves in live, alca-mar-ol, fodder….then SHOPPING and Singapore is my most favourite place to shop in the world (but Manila is hot on it’s tail!).

If you want to spend money in Singapore, you can. For clothing, the brand names will be a bit cheaper. Even better are the dodgy sell out shops which change from day to day. As you walk down Orchard road you ...  Read the complete review

We went to Singapore as the 2nd part of our honeymoon, (the first being Maldives) We arrived after the 3 hour flight from the Maldives, hungry and the first place we stopped at was Mcdonalds, bearing in mind we had eaten nothing but fish for the last 12 days!! Our hotel was lovely, it had everything that we had missed, TV (Satelitte TV), Air con that worked and a nice cup of tea. The first day was spent getting used to the metro system, which is very efficient and quick. Then its get used to the shopping malls, one after the other after the other. Take plenty of money and lots of room in your hand luggage. There is a fantastic open zoo, which is clean and the ...  Read the complete review
