Tucked away in the Muslim quarter in Singapore this narrow strip of lane has managed not only to survive the changing times, but also maintain its star attractions and keep up pace as a trendy, hip and modern paradise of a contemporary fashion enthusiast. Offering a strange ambience that contrast greatly with the more polished international stores which are just a five minute walk away, this retail outstretch perhaps exudes the enthusiasm of young designers whose talents are so appropriately showcased in exotic interiors that each has a personality of its own.
Some of the many shops that have stood the test of time include ‘The Blog shop’ which offers a collection of rare and unexpected fashion surprises from funky jewels to trendy miniskirts. ‘Know it nothing’ provides contemporary fashion in practical and wearable clothing inspired from historic themes. Drop in at the ‘Pluck’ and enter the feeling of belonging to a typical home magazine while browsing through the collection of cushion covers and furnishings. The ice cream parlor that is found indoors would indeed prove to be a hard to resist choice.
With its monochrome backdrop, the home ware items really spring to the attention of many shoppers as they step into the ‘Salad shop’ and induce them to carry away useful home ideas and items. Go berserk over the range of chic handbags, clutches and purses with their unique designs as they sit so demurely upon the shelves at Dulcetfig. Discover some designer labels at the White Room or some vintage jewelry at reasonable price tags at the Suite stuff. Propose to yourself the prospect of purchasing from a handpicked collection of international and local music albums at the ‘Straits Record’ or even the more irresistible one of middle eastern dining at Café le Claire.
When it comes to some superb dining, one cannot miss the array of culinary delicacies spread out so well for the visitors of many Hotels in Singapore. One of the most reputed players in the hospitality trade, the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Singapore, is no stranger to the art of pleasing its visitors with exotic dining amidst the magnificent interiors of its many hotels spread through the city. From spectacular riverside locations to the more convenient placements in Orchard Road or the heart of the Financial District, this chain of Singapore Hotels certainly knows how to entertain its visitors with both convenience and comforts.
