The biggest tourist attraction (for us at least) was Platinum! We were there particularly every day!
Over 6 floors of clothes, accessories, shoes and bags, let loose a woman (or a man) there and you may have to intercom her to find her!
The clothes were reasonably cheap, starting from $5 upwards and we saw lots of people pulling trolleys, presumably filled with their exploits! Lots of blogshop owners come here to source for designs and buy in bulk to sell back in Singapore. I will now think twice about buying anything in Singapore!
Some tips for shopping here:
- The official opening hours of the mall is 9am-7pm but it's better to come around 10 plus since not all the stores open at 9. They do close by 7pm though
- No trying of clothes allowed so it would be good that you have a discerning eye to know what would fit you or not. Otherwise you can bring a T-shirt that fits you well as a reference (more for guys)
- Do check the items that you have bought especially zips, buttons, etc
- It’s usually cheaper if you buy more than 1 piece from each shop so bring a fren or if you are daring enough, ask if a fellow shopper is willing to join their purchases together with you
- Some shops do allow you to change so if you are a bit worried an item doesn’t fit, try it at the toilets located on every floor and do an immediate exchange if you need to (tip from my hubby who's obsessive about getting the right fit!)
- Bring a huge tote bag to carry your loots so that your hands can be kept free for easier browsing
- Bring a water bottle or snacks if you dun intend to stop for lunch
Have fun shopping!

Looks like fun! I went to Bangkok about 2o years ago and remember shopping in a mall. I bought a beautiful evening gown that I still own for a very low price. I'll be following your blog during the Sitsgirls 31dbbb challenge. See ya there!
