Home to plenty of retail outlets that carry everyday fashion staples to designer threads, you’ve probably frequent this famous shopping street more times than you can count. But before you make another trip down the stretch, here are some fun facts about the shopping belt that we bet even you mall rats haven’t heard about.

1. Far East Plaza

Far East Plaza’s the only place you should get your nails, facials and hair treatments done. At last count, there are 62 of such salons there.

ION Sky, located on the 55th and 56th floors, may not be Singapore’s tallest observatory deck but at 218 metres above ground, it sure provides a panoramic view of the city.

ION Art is the mall’s own 4,000-square-foot art gallery, found on the fourth floor.

The Orchard Residences occupy the ninth to 54th floors of ION. Want some of it? Prices start from just $6.2 million for a 1,808-square-foot apartment.

The cheapest – and best-value – cup of coffee you can find on the street is from Sapporo Petit Doughnut in Ngee Ann City. The damage? One dollar.

Orchard Central’s the only mall along Orchard Road to offer free valet services.

Japanese retail giant Uniqlo has three stores on the shopping belt, and it’s even got plans to open a three-storey flagship at Orchard Central later this year.

Orchard Central’s rooftop garden (L11 & 12) is open 24 hours.

A 2-hour lunch at Paragon Shopping Centre can add $8.82 in parking fees to your tab after all the surcharges. This mall’s definitely for the 1 percent.
