Mustafa Centre

Little India & Kampong Glam


Little India's bustling Mustafa Centre is a magnet for bargain hunting shoppers. It's a sprawling maze-like place, selling everything from electronics and gold jewellery to shoes, bags, luggage, fabric and beauty products. There's also a large supermarket with a great range of Indian foodstuffs. If you can't handle shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, avoid the place on Sunday.
