Kim Choo Kueh Chang

Katong Fodor's choice
Although this store is best-known for its traditional Peranakan rice dumplings and cakes, you can also pick up Peranakan porcelain pieces and other Peranakan-themed knickknacks here. If you have more time, it also offers heritage tours and free sarong kebaya fitting sessions.

Rumah Bebe

Katong Fodor's choice
This lavishly decorated heritage shophouse peddles all manner of Peranakan goods, from traditional sarong kebaya clothing to snacks. It’s owned by Peranakan beadwork specialist Bebe Seet, who also offers classes on beadwork and embroidery.

City Plaza

Geylang Serai
Shop the latest Korean, Chinese, and Thai fashions at this retro, under-the-radar mall, where wholesalers plug their wares to local stores. You’ll have to do some digging, but the thrill of finding a chic piece at a great price will likely make up for that.

Parkway Parade

Marine Parade

If the myriad megamalls of central Singapore just aren't enough, head east to wander through this multilevel shopping center, with more than 250 stores and restaurants. You can shop in relative peace and quiet during the week, but it tends to get uncomfortably crowded on weekends.

Wine Mouth

Joo Chiat

On the second floor of a shophouse, Singapore's first retail store dedicated solely to natural wine—biodynamic farmed, organic, with minimal intervention in the wine-making process—is a spot to get the makings for a natural, healthy hangover. You'll find reds, whites, oranges, rosé, sparkling, and spirits, though closing time is a fairly early 9 pm.
