Mustafa Centre
Singapore's supreme discount department store: floor after floor of absolutely everything at rock-bottom prices, ranging from Rolex watches and washing machines to fresh mangoes, bags of lentils, tailored suits and airline tickets. Open 24 hours; the exchange counters in front are probably the best place in Singapore to exchange any currency you can think of and many you can't at competitive rates. Mustafa Centre also offers travel, hotel reservation and visa assistance services. Note: There are now many mini-Mustafa outlets scattered along Serangoon Rd, but the original and by far the largest is the one facing Syed Alwi Rd.
Tekka Mall
Little India's first and only modern air-conditioned shopping mall, and rather soulless when compared to the bustle outside. In the process of being rebranded as the IT-oriented The Verge in a bid to compete with Sim Lim, just around the corner. The adjoining Foodmore food court is not bad if you want something other than Indian food. One can also find a comforting ayurlly massage parlour at the fifth floor. A supermart at the basement and a travel agency on the second floor. Plus, many more shops catering to all interests. Fast becoming a place to go shopping.
The central streets of Little India are packed with stalls selling all sorts of Indian goods. Two giant shopping centres, however, are unique not just in Little India but all of Singapore:
Little India Arcade
A narrow pathway through a cluster of restored shophouses, filled to the brim with Indian clothing, accessories, incense and a rather good Indian sweet shop at #01-16.
Naranjan Electronics
Small shop for basic electronics like digital cameras and mobile phones, with bargain-basement prices. Please note the rock bottom prices comes with no 'warranty' or 'service' what so ever. Many of items are not for sale in Singapore. So try to check your goods before you leave though, as these guys have a strict and theoretically illegal no-returns-whatsoever policy.
The other shopping options in Little India cater more to the Indian market:
