6 Best Shopping in Singapore

Jewel Changi Airport

Changi Fodor's choice
This sprawling 280-store complex is a one-stop shop for top Singapore labels, local gourmet snacks, and more than a handful of first-in-Southeast Asia brands. Highlights include In Good Company for sleek, minimalist womenswear; Pazzion for chic, cheerful shoes (this flagship boutique also houses the first-of-its-kind Pazzion Cafe); and the wildly popular Irvins Salted Egg snacks. If you're on your way in or out of Singapore, leave ample time for browsing.

Kim Choo Kueh Chang

Katong Fodor's choice
Although this store is best-known for its traditional Peranakan rice dumplings and cakes, you can also pick up Peranakan porcelain pieces and other Peranakan-themed knickknacks here. If you have more time, it also offers heritage tours and free sarong kebaya fitting sessions.

Bugis Junction

Bugis

This unique shopping complex is worth visiting just to see its shophouse facades, all enclosed under glass domes and cooled with arctic-strength air-conditioning. While you're here, look for affordable streetwear boutiques, a movie theater, cafés and restaurants, and the Kinokuniya bookstore. The center of Bugis Junction connects to the InterContinental Singapore hotel and Bugis MRT station.

Changi City Point

Changi

One of the rare outlet malls in Singapore, Changi City Point houses more than 140 shops, including the factory stores of big-name sports and fashion brands like Nike, Adidas, Clarks, and Esprit. The landscaped rooftop garden of the three-story mall is a great place to take a breather in between shopping, and the top floor also houses a free playground and tree-house trail for kids.

Le Petit Society

CBD

One of Singapore’s most well-loved family lifestyle brands has an “in real life” concept store at Downtown Gallery. If you are looking for high-quality kids clothing or gifts, this should be your first stop.

Parkway Parade

Marine Parade

If the myriad megamalls of central Singapore just aren't enough, head east to wander through this multilevel shopping center, with more than 250 stores and restaurants. You can shop in relative peace and quiet during the week, but it tends to get uncomfortably crowded on weekends.
