Bugis Street






First and foremost, I had visited Bugis Street. Bugis Street is famous for its fashion apparels and you can find anything and everything there at a low cost. This place is highly liked by the Singaporeans for its cheap pricing of products and services. Bugis Street is homed to more than 800 over shops and it is the biggest street shopping location in Singapore. You can purchase many souvenirs there and you can even enjoy different kind of services there at low cost! Some of these services include manicure/pedicure parlors, hair salons and many many more.


Most of the Singaporeans know where Bugis Street is located. There are many bus operators that bring you to Bugis Street. Some of it are bus 2, 7, 12, 32, 33, 63, 80. And once you alight at bus stop Bugis Junction, you definitely cannot miss Bugis Street! If you are afraid that you may board the wrong bus or alight at the wrong bus, you may opt to take the train. 
The train is as convenient as taking the bus. You just have to alight at Bugis Station and follow the directional signs and you are able to arrive safely. There are many tour buses that bring tourists to and from their hotels too so keep a look out and be careful!


There are many food stalls at Bugis Street available for visitors to choose from and these are some examples. The XXL fried chicken and golden fried mushroom is very delicious here. It is so aromatic that nobody can resist it.They are one of a kind and you can only taste such delicious food here and only here!


 The food at level 2 of Bugis Street is exceptionally delicious! there is a stall that sells delicious crepes and it is definitely a 'must try' there! Once you reach level 2, you do not have to find the place, the smell can bring you there. Many people rush over to have their share as they have many unique combinations such as crepe with banana and chocolate that it is hard for people to resist! 



Next, there are lots of clothes and souvenirs that are on sale. You can even purchase souvenirs at a low price of 8 for $10 where one is less than $2, how cheap can that be! The services provided is good as well. 



The stall-tenders will be more willing to help you and even if you do not buy their products in the end, most of them do not show attitude to you (at least not infront of you). 



The exit signs are displayed very clearly and you can easily spot it from afar. But even so, Bugis Street is not wheelchair friendly as it do not have big lifts for the people to use from. So if visitors whom are wheelchair bound and wants to visit Bugis Street, I am afraid that it will be tough on your part! :(


What I like most at Bugis Street is that the service that they provide are affordable and of top quality. I can have my manicure done there at $18 when i have to pay $38 at other places. I can save $20 and I think it is very affordable. The service providers will even engage in a conversation with you so that you will not be bored.  


Even though there are good points about Bugis Street, what i do not like the place is that some stores (if not most) sell clothes that are repetitive. You can find the same design of clothes at 5 different stores at a different price. Therefore, it will be nice if they have different design of clothes across Bugis Street. The other thing that i do not like is that the entrance of Bugis Street looks a little rundown and this had made me doubt the quality of things that are sold there.
