Singapore is a heaven for shoppers and the best place to get a bargain. To make your shopping experience perfect, I have listed top items that
deserve to be on the top of your shopping list. This info will save you a fortune, and
wise shoppers will surely thank me for that.
1. Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream
This cheap but surprisingly moisturizing cream is
even cheaper at duty free shops or Mustafa Center. Ironically, it's one of the most popular items to buy in Singapore though it’s actually from
India. Just shove loads in
your bag and give those to numerous female friends you want to impress a little.
2. Chili Crab Sauce
This is the sauce used for Singapore’s signature
dish called ‘Chili crab.’ Travelers deeply impressed by Chili crab started bringing the sauce home, and, now, it became one of the must buy items.
It’s so nice I
eat everyday with pretty much all kinds of foods.
3. Kaya Jam
Please send
this Singaporean yummy to me! The coconut milk based jam is one of the three symbolic
foods that represent Singapore along with Chili crab and Bee Cheng Hiang. Don’t share it! It’s way too yummy to share with others.
4. Bee Cheng
Hiang BBQ pork slice

Thanks to the Chinese influence, Singapore is
blessed with super tasty Bakkwa (BBQ pork slice). And Bee Cheng Hiang is all-time favorite since 1933.
Just one bite will be enough to make you want to ditch everything you brought
from home and fill your luggage with it.
5. Himalaya Lip
Balm

You might have been given this Lip balm from a
friend of you went traveling to India or Nepal. Despite its shockingly low price, it’s actually quite good. If your wallet is empty,
just go with this. 1 USD is enough to make your friend happy.
6. Darlie tooth
paste
It’s also famous in Hong Kong, Thailand and
Singapore. Not sure if it actually whitens teeth, but this magical toothpaste
is sensationally refreshing.
7. TWG (The
Wellness Group) tea

Due to British influence, Singapore has some quality tea like TWG. Tea is always inexpensive and safe choice when you don’t know
what to give as a present. Not to mention its luxurious packing, TWG tea comes
in 100% cotton tea bags.
8. Tiger Balm

Surprisingly, some people actually believe it’s the
cure-all medicine. Rumor has it this magical balm miraculously cures muscle pain, mosquito bites,
backache and even headache. Although it has absolutely nothing to do with tigers,
your grandpa would be very happy to have it.
