Jonna's favorite perfume shop is a fairly new one down past Saied's carpet place at the far end of Arab Street. I used to go to that big one on the corner of Bussourah, but don't know it's the best.
If you exit Dilips, turn left and go to the last block (I think). He mixes your personal perfume.
The gift shop we all love is Khim's Collections just down from Alaturka.
Khim’s collections on 13 bussorah street is the shop Geri introduced me/us to with all of the home decor, lacquer ware, placemats etc.
There is Mahaco on 51 Arab street right across from that Turkish cafe on the corner, that has the silk for clothing and it has beautiful throws and table runners near the back of the shop. The sister store down Arab street closer to the Golden Mile shopping centre is called Asia Silq I think. you could check with Mahaco to confirm the store number.
Toko Aljunied on 91 Arab Street( i can’t remember if this is the new address, but if not it is only a few doors away if this is the old address.) is where they sell the silk sarong wraps with batik prints and Malay Kabayas. Jonna,Geri and I have purchased several of the Sarongs from this store and she will show you how to wrap it and wear it different ways. She is really great.
The Little Shophouse on 43 Bussorah street has the Peranakan beaded slippers, Nonya ware and fun scarves and collectibles.
The perfume place I like is Sifr on Arab. However, it's probably not great for a group. The same owner also owns the perfume shop on the corner of Bussorah on the way to temple.
The cake shop -- I thought it tasted gross and ended throwing it out.
At the mosque they have robes for women to borrow.
JONNA SAID
Silk shops on Arab St. Bobby Fabrics is one.
GERI SAID
.I didn't buy fabric on Serangoon Road.....my favorite shop was Mahaco Impex on the far end of Arab Street. I usually dealt with Madam Jaz (lovely lady), but her sons are wonderful, too. They also own a newer shop at the beginning of Arab Street nearer the mosque....you can ask at Mahaco.
