Take your time to go through all the shops in the bugis village and I am sure one can find what they are looking for, at a very cheap price. You can get watches and goggles for as low as $5 and t-shirts starting from $3. IT also has shops that sells items which are over $100 as well. So,... More

It is located next to Bugis MRT station, hence the ease of accessibility to the area. The newly renovated bugis village offers great buys at affordable pricing, the improved ventilation makes shopping in the crowded area more comfortable.

This is probably one of the very few places in singapore that sells really cheap yet fashionable clothings. However, 70% of the fashion there, is for women and the rest for men. Normal t-shirts, skirts and shorts starts at around $10 and if you are good at scavenging the discount boxes, you can get a really nice sweater at only... More

If you like to experience a city "as the locals live" and you like cheap shopping, then this is a good place to go. The whiff of Durian is noticeable at each end, and fried delights are a plenty. If you tire of being surrounded by fellow tourists at the higher-end shopping at Orchard or Marina Bay Sands, this is... More

The place is just like Mongkok in Hongkong. Plenty of small stalls that sells souvenir items, tshirts, and accessories. Plenty of food stalls are inside the market place.

Literally hundreds of little stalls in a covered mini-mall across the road from Bugis Junction Mall. I guess much of the merchandise is aimed at tourists (plenty of souvenier shops and the like). At the back there are a number of hawker food stalls which get busy in the evening. Worth a visit to check out if you have a... More

Over the years, we have always enjoyed spending a bit of time in the Bugis Village area. The buildings are painted well and there are some lovely staircases (see picture) if you can find the right spots for photography. However, it is the street market and stall shopping that brings you to this area of the city. The Bugis Village... More

This market is a fashion purgatory for all the trash rejected from third world flea markets and dollar stores for blind people. To think that people are such willing participants in this orgy of mass consumerism is one thing, but to imagine designers and factories actually churning out this cr@p in the pursuit of profit truly boggles the mind.
