The Huge Flock of Tourists on Level One

Can you imagine hundreds of tourists everyday, flocking the streets of this pedestrian mall, haggling and bargaining for cheap souvenir Merlions or falling prey to the many tourists traps that offer nothing at all of significance, yet the naive are still captivated? I tell you the truth that although Bugis Street may seem like another overrated gargantuan tourist trap, take any crowd-fearing local's advise and skip the souvenir-filled first floor completely, and head up to the second and third floors in order to experience not only the best of Bugis Street, but also the best of Singapore's retail.

With the sheer number of retail stores here, competition gets really stiff, and hence many shops always make sure that they have the lowest price and the best quality goods in order to win over their competitors (Bargain hunters-take note! :) ). Every store here has its own unique style, and with a huge variety of the latest fashion trends and accessories, even the fussiest of shoppers will still leave Bugis Street satisfied with "loots" (ie. things that one bought) by the bag loads. With super-cheap bargain prices (without a compromise for quality) and every style to suit every taste here in Bugis Street, what more could make an even better shopping experience?

Blend in with the locals and learn the Singaporean way of "shop till you drop!" and bargain hunting. Truly this place reflects the two things we Singaporeans do best-shopping and bargaining. Live like the locals and be "kiasu" (ie. scared of losing out to/on) about getting the best for the lowest, and follow in the footsteps of us Singaporean teenagers and try on the latest fashion trends and be a total hipster!

The Third Level-The Quieter Side of Bugis Street

This place holds a special spot in my heart for every time I revisit it, I am always greeted by the ever-energetic vibe that never fails to perk me up, and I am always grateful to no better place than here to release all of my worries and immerse myself in some retail therapy!
