Funan Mall, a stone's throw from City Hall MRT Station, used to be an specialty mall with plenty of electronics and IT products shops. It has undergone a total makeover and was relaunched in 2019 as a lifestyle mall for the young and young at heart. Most of the IT shops are gone. Just as well since most people now go online to buy their electronics stuff. I love Funan's new image; it is hip and happening and boasts colourful, cool design and layout. Funan hosts a cineplex, an indoor rock climbing wall, a plethora of F&B outlets catering to every palate and pocket, and is linked to the Ascott Group's new concept 'lyf Hotel' tailored to millenial travellers. I will be the first to admit that Funan is not the place shopaholics would head to; there are plenty of other malls all over Singapore for anyone on a shopping spree for apparel, bags, cosmetics, footwear etc. Funan offers visitors more 'out of the box' options; it is a cool and fun place to hang out on a hot, humid day, where one can check out the latest mobile phones, try rock climbing and other weekend activities (eg coffee art class) held at the mall, satisfy one's hunger pangs, chat over drinks at one of the many cafes, and finally watch a movie before heading home.

Funan Singapore is an absolute gem of a place. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a futuristic vibe that combines technology, shopping, and entertainment in one dazzling package. The design is sleek, and there's an excellent variety of shops, catering to all tastes. Whether you're into tech gadgets or fashion, there's something for everyone. The food court is filled with delicious options, and I appreciate the emphasis on local cuisine. The greenery and open spaces give a refreshing touch to the shopping experience, and you can even find a cycling path inside the mall! The friendly staff and efficient layout just add to the overall enjoyable experience. Funan Singapore isn't just a mall; it's a place where shopping turns into an exciting adventure. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out on something special! Enjoy your time there!

I was able to walk to Funan from my hotel a major consideration for me. I was looking for 3 items and was successful. I got a new smart watch Samsung 5 for a reasonable price and will get tax back st airport however whilst I found most sales persons good and very helpful I did find one who couldn't be bothered so you need to shop around.
