Ngee Ann City

It’s hard to miss this massive red granite building flanked by two towers whilst strolling down the Orchard Road shopping strip. It’s also known as Takashimaya Shopping Centre after anchor tenant Takashimaya department store. This seven-storey megamall houses more than 130 shops, including the country’s largest bookstore chain Kinokuniya. You’ll also find all your retail therapy needs met at powerhouse brands like Van Cleef & Arpels, Maison 21G, Lululemon, Chanel, and Fendi, alongside local labels like Beyond The Vines and The Editor’s Market – the latter even having its own chic café tucked inside. Special occasions are well-catered for at the elegant and intimate Hazuki, where premium Kyoto fare is served kappo-style at reasonable prices.
