Walking through Little India after the Mustafa Centre

Little India after a small shopping spree at the Mustafa Centre. Thank you Bryn for telling me about this place.

The Mustafa Center is "the" place to shop if you are trying to set up house from "scratch". The prices are excellent. This place puts Honest Eds to shame (although Honest Ed's is very good). However, we only bought towels and a french press coffee pot during this visit. A bodum was priced at $270 SDG at Robertson's and an equivalent model, Boujour, $79 SDG at the Mustafa Center. Robin purchased bath towels at Robertson's at $20 plus SDG each, whereas the price at the Mustafa Centre was $8.50 SDG albeit a smaller towel.

My friend Bryn told me about this place weeks before I left for Singapore.

The only drawback is that the centre is really, really crowded. Getting down an aisle is a challenge. You spend more time waiting to get down the aisle than shopping. I believe we will be heading back there for more house goodies.
