Singapore can be mentioned as the shopper’s paradise. You can get anything you want to buy as souvenirs for friends and family and also for personal use. There are various products for which Singapore is really famous. Some of them are listed below:
Electronic components: A wide variety of electronic components and some associated tools can be found at Sim Lim Tower. This is situated opposite to the Sim Lim Square i.e. near to Little India. People working in electronic media as well as engineers like the place very much. Most common electronic components can be found here and varieties are breadboards, various IC's, transistors, etc. You can bargain for a good deal.
Consumer electronics: The consumer electronics are very competitively priced in Singapore. Sim Lim Square, Funan IT Mall i.e. Orchard, and Mustafa i.e. Little India are good choices. But it is advisable to avoid the tourist-oriented shops on Orchard Road, particularly the notorious Lucky Plaza. Harvey Norman, who is an Australian retailer, has many stores scattered throughout Singapore. You can check out the massive Harvey Norman Mega Superstore at Millenia Walk. Singapore uses 230V voltage with a British-style three-pin plug and that should be kept in mind while planning for a purchase.
Fabrics: Arab Street and Little India are the places where you can get selected imported and local fabrics like batik.
Ethnic knick-knacks: Chinatown is an important place in Singapore and this Chinatown has Singapore’s heaviest concentration of knick-knacks. Merlion soap dispensers as well as ethnic gewgaws are common. Most of the things are Chinese but you cannot say that the entire lot is Chinese. Many of them are imported from somewhere else.
Fashion, high-street: Ngee Ann City i.e. Takashimaya and Paragon on Orchard are the sites where lots of branded boutiques are present. Singaporeans are very fashionable and they love wearing designer clothes.
These are the various goods which you will get widely in Singapore.
