    Little India: ONE-STOP SHOPPING PARADISE OPEN 24HRS

    If you ever come across the TV commercial for this shopping centre, do not be put off by its cheesiness. Bad visuals and poor sound quality but the stuff here are far from that.

    They got everything here from latest electronic gadgets, toiletries, luggage, jewellery, CDs, cosmetics, even a supermarket. Open 24 hours 7 days a week except Deepavali - Indian Festival of lights.

    Some tips for pleasant shopping experience:
    1. Be prepared to have your bags checked by security, and leave it at a deposit box. If you bring plastic shopping bags they will be tied up with plastic ring to prevent shoplifting.

    2. If you come on a weekend, it will be SUPER CROWDED! Mostly the Indian nationals will make up the bulk of the crowd. So you will have to jostle for space.

    Mustafa is an enormous multi level department store which has quite a good reputation with the locals for selling a huge variety of goods at very reasonable prices.

    Prices are fixed and displayed and you can browse all day without getting hassled by sales assistants.

    Pick your day for shopping there as it gets very busy on weekends with local shoppers. But Mustafa is open 24/7 so there is ample opportunity to spend a little cash.

    The Mustafa Shopping Centre caters to all your shopping needs with goods ranging from food, clothing, shoes, sports equipment/ & Ccothing, electronic gadgets & appliances, jewellery and Just about anything else you can think of!

    Little India: A Taste of an Indian Shopping

    Whatever you do when in Singapore, do not miss the Mustafa Centre, but don't bother going in the main entrance in Serangoon Road where all the taxi drivers take you. This part of the department store is geared towards tourists who do not want to experience a taste of India. Go down the side street towards the back of the building. There you will find entrances to where all the Indians and locals go to shop.

    Here, particularly on a week-end night you will have to jostle with all the locals who do their shopping here. The aisles are small and crowded, the cashiers flat out but it is an exciting place. If you have too many purchases you can take them outside and put them in "holding" while you go and buy more. The shop even goes across a laneway to another part of this vast complex.

    Mustafa is the place to buy anything you could imagine. Apart from the usual watches, jewellery and electronics, you can buy virtually anything else. The ground floor has a great section of beauty products at a fraction of the cost that you would buy at home. Vitamins, a chemist, DVD's, CD's, perfume, costume jewellery, you name it, you can buy it.

    Downstairs is the clothing/material section. There are sarees on sale for S$20. This is 6m of material that can be used as exquisite curtains. They sell rugs from Turkey, underwear, womens clothing mens clothing and childrens clothing.

    Unfortunately I ran out of time, but Mustafa also sells homewares and groceries and I don't know what else I missed out on.

    On Tuesday and Fridays, the Hindu holy days, gods are honoured with simple strands of flowers. In Hindu culture, people are garlanded as a show of respect and welcome.
    In Little India street you can find vividly coloured flower shops where you can finde garlands and fresh flowers. Flowers are very important in Indian lifes as a symbol of prosperity. The garland are red yellow and white that symbolise love, peace and purity respectively.

    If you enjoy hunting for bargains then Little India is the place to go. Walk down Serangoon Rd and the little laneways and go in and out of all the little shops. You will be amazed at what you find. As you walk along you will be greeted by the beautiful smells of incense and the music of India. Meet the locals, expect to bargain and you will have great fun.

    From costume jewellery to women's and men's wear you will find it all here. Looking for some beautiful material - try the saree shops. They don't just have to be used as dresses. Hunt through the hanging rails to find beautiful embroidered, sequined women's tops or skirts, men's T-shirts and shorts. There are shops devoted to costume jewellery - beautiful bracelets and necklaces. Need a Bollywood movie or CD - just follow the sounds and you will find a shop.

    The prices are cheap, approx. S$15 for beautiful sequined women's tops, men's T-shirts S$10.

    The Mustafa Centre is an enormous, 24-hour multi-level department store complex. It occupies an entire block on the eastern end of Little India.

    You can buy just about anything there - electronics, clothes, souvenirs, luggage, jewellery, perfume and a lot more. The complex also has a hotel, travel agency, postal and money changing services.

    Hard to believe it grew from a little outside stall in 1965!!

    Mustafa is definitely one of the cheapest department stores in Singapore.

    If you go to hindu Temples, you will see men are with a special cotton saron coverd. Is a very nice cotton very fresh .. my friend wanted one ... we bought on "longui", the price was $6. I don't know what we did wrong. But as my friend took the cotton and open it ... the worker of the shop get very angry with us... perhaps this is a special textil for the and didn't like tourist to buy it??? I don't know... some times you go with a lot of respect but ... as the costums are so diferent ... you don't know what you do wrong.
