  • By Nikhil Agarwal
    Good for some souvenir shopping. Most of it is street shoppin but it's very lively at night. Sellers behave well unlike in Hong Kong where they start abusing if you try and don't buy. A go to place to buy fridge magnets, luggage tags, Singapore Lion miniature and other Nick knacks.
