Bugis Village is the first mall I encounter when getting out of a taxi from Johor Bahru, Malaysia. And that's fine by me. The mall is great with superb shopping and food options. It's also close to lots of other malls. I love Singapore!

Air-conditioned street shopping, what else can you ask for? Miles & miles of shops on different levels, affordable, & under an air-conditioned roof. Need I say more?

Very crowded and narrow market but well worth a visit even though Singapore is not cheap anymore.

Packed out like sardines in a slowly moving tin. Take a good ground anchor if you want to stop and look at the traders gear. In summary its cheap souvenir stuff i.e. a snow dome of Singapore, yes i did buy one.

I like shopping here because it is the only place I have been able to bargain! The experience is more like shopping at a market, which is a nice change from the malls. The quality is not the best but the prices are not high and it is a nice experience.

When talking about budget shopping, Bugis is a popular choice for most people. But for me, it was not much fun. The style of the clothes were not so great... Somehow, I keep comparing it to TST in HK, and I had better picks there. For SG shirts to bring home as souvenirs, the prices are cheap, similar to Chinatown,... More

So many stalls in this crazy mall! It's so much fun to walk through the crammed together mini stores, selling everything from dresses and shoes to juices and cakes. Feels like Asia - whereas the other malls feel like North America! Both are fun to explore.
