Shopping

Feel like shopping? Farrer Park is full of shops! Here are two places you cannot miss!

City Square Mall: This was once the site of the New World Amusement Park where my parents used to come here and play. The amusement par and hotel  burned down in the 1970s, the patch of land where the hotel stood is empty because the owner thinks it is haunted. However, the amusement park ground now has the City Square mall on top. The iconic entrance gate and ticketing booths are still there. City Square Mall is Singapore's first eco-friendly mall with solar panels and electric car charging stations. It is also family friendly, with many food chains and shops. It also has an outdoor play area with a giant bubble blower. 




Mustafa Centre-It used to sell cars here, but no longer does. Mustafa Center is Singapore's ONLY 24-hour shopping centre. Come here for the atmostphere, but I suggest going on a weekday cos the weekend is really crowded, mostly with foreign workers doing their shopping. It also has the highest crime rates in Singapore. The management is doing its best to step up security adding things such a security cameras and sealed bags. Still, it has rare food and toys that you cannot find anywhere else in Singapore... Stop by any of the nearby indian food stores for good, yummy authentic indian food.
