There is little noteworthy shopping in the north or west. The major shopping malls are Jurong Point nearest MRT station: Boon Lay and IMM nearest MRT station: Jurong East. A stroll around the HDB heartlands may uncover interesting finds, though, not to mention an authentic taste of ordinary Singaporean life.
Tourist attractions such as Singapore Zoological Gardens, Jurong Bird Park and Singapore Botanic Gardens have gift shops overflowing with cute plush toys and tacky local kitsch.
