Little India has been known for their history, the rich and authentic Tamil cultural elements, one building happens to receive quite a bit of attention. That building happens to be Mustafa.
Mustafa is the only departmental shopping mall in Singapore that opens 24 hours. Although Mustafa targets mainly the budget market, they sell more than 150,000 types of merchandise. It is safe to say every conceivable item and services are found in Mustafa.
Chinatown Night Market
Pagoda, Trengganu and Sago streets are home to Chinatown Night Market. Are you looking to experience the raw side of Singapore’s culture? This is the right place for you!
Chinatown Night Market offers the ultimate night shopping experience. It is open till 11pm on weekdays while it extends its hours till 1am on Fridays, Saturdays and Eves of Public Holidays.
A myriad of traditional goods – opera masks, ornaments, clothing and accessories and much, much more are found in the old world shop houses of Chinatown.
Of course you can never escape to any place without food. People are treated to old town famous stalls along Terengganu Street. The smell of the food wafting in the air and the sizzling sound of the wok makes the food so irresistible.
On certain nights, traditional and modern performances will also be displayed.
Arab Street
Arab Street is a short walk from Bugis Mrt Station. Unlike the other two places, Arab Street gears towards the Middle Eastern type of traditional goods. Tourists and locals frequent this place in search of luxurious textiles, sequins and fashion embellishments.
As you venture down the street, you will find other streets intertwining with Arab Street. It is a place to shop for souvenirs and gifts. There are shops selling collectible such as the Peranaken Beaded shoes; a first extinct item in Singapore. Then there is the picturesque Children’s Little Museum selling antiquated toys from the past.
There are certain lanes offering trendy and stylish garments by budding local designers. Most of who have made their names on blogshops and word-of-mouth.
The main quirk of this street is that the shops sell quite random things. From fashion to heavy metal CDs, to toys, to home accessories to spas and cafes, Arab Street happens to sell them.

As businesses start to wind down for the day, Singapore’s energy continues to thrive.
Even at night, she offers an array of activities to keep people entertained; Malls are open till at least 9pm,
nightclubs and bars are swelling with customers even at unearthly hours, and the Esplanade is hosting yet another performance or concert.
The list of entertainment goes on and on. It almost seems as if Singapore never sleeps. However, this does not happen overnight.
The leisure and entertainment scene in Singapore is a result of investments in infrastructural development.
One of our latest developments is the Integrated Resorts; Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa.
These Integrated Resorts coupled with all the other main attractions in Singapore have transformed her skyline.
In addition, infrastructural developments have equipped Singapore with an efficient transport system.
This makes it easier and convenient for people to navigate themselves around the city.
Singapore’s vibe throbs deep into the night with an array of events and activities. Many international and
regional events and festivals were held in Singapore. Some examples are the Formula One Night Race, Sun Festival
and the World Expo 2010. Festive seasons are not forgotten either. This coming December, Orchard Road will illuminate
with the annual Christmas light up which includes street performances. Fireworks will also be on display to usher in the New Year.
