Bugis street a must visit market









Bugis Street was once renowned internationally in the 1950s for its natorious night activities where flamboyantly dressed transvestities would parade around, attracting mainly Causasian sailors on their Rest & Relax. In those day, the entire street will come alive in the evening as push carts gather, offering a wide selection of cheap goods and hawker food, thus earning its "Pasar Malam" namesake.




Today, Bugis Street has revamped itself by having sheltered walkway and air cond shopping zones, hence improving the shopping ambience. Bugis Street now houses about 600 stalls, offering electric mix of trendy and functional fashion wear, local delicacies and fruits, hawker food and beauty services, transforming itself into the largest street shopping location in Singapore.

Possibly one of the best known areas of Singapore, Bugid Streer retains its distintive street shopping feel. The street is usually bustling with locals and tourists from all walks of life, be it meeting for coffee, shopping for trendy clothes, or just hanging out.


A cosy chill out cafe located in the middle of a fashion haven, Teenage @Bugis Cafe serves a variety of western food such as sandwiches & pastas. Our signature fish & chiops & grilled chicken will surely satisfy everybody.
