Me and Nikki took a trip to Orchard via the MRT- it's a huge shopping centre, with many designer shops and huge cinemas. Often compared to New York's 5th ave, it really is an amazing site especially at night. The pedestrian lights for crossing the road are ace, with countdowns and all manner of noises coming from them. The great thing about coming to Singapore at this time of year, is the Great Singapore Sale, where nearly every shop has up to 70% off items. Isetan is like the Debenham's of Singapore, with many shops. I admit on my first day in Singapore I did spend over $100 on shopping. Having lost Nikki in Mango, I headed to Topshop (yes....there is is a Topshop here, over-priced considerably more than home). Isetan also contains a huge food court, which are common in Singapore (there's normally a collection of several different food counters all selling different products from varius cultures). I did find Nikki outside Topshop in the the end. In contrast to the big shopping malls, there are several street markets outside, everyone trying to get you to buy something from there. There's even 24hr McDonald cafes on the street.
