SHOPPING SCENE 2

The Heeren Thanks to the opening of a Singapore branch of Britain's HMV music stores, the Heeren is the latest hangout joint for teens. The front entrance of the mall hums with towers of video monitors flashing and blaring the latest in American and British chart toppers. There is also a nice cafe to the side, with a garden for enjoying a cup of coffee, tea, or a snack. At the midway point along the Orchard Road stretch, it's a recommended stop for a break. 260 Orchard Rd. ( 65/6733-4725.

Hilton Shopping Gallery The shopping arcade at the Hilton International Hotel is the most exclusive shopping in Singapore. Gucci, Donna Karan, Missoni, and Luis Vuitton are just a few of the international design houses that have made this their Singapore home. 581 Orchard Rd. 65/6737-2233.

Lucky Plaza The map of this place will take hours to decipher, as there are more than 400 stores here (no kidding). It's basically known for sportswear, camera equipment, watches, and luggage. If you buy electronics, please make sure you get an international warranty with your purchase. Also, like Far East Plaza, Lucky Plaza is a notorious rip-off problem for travelers. Make sure you come here prepared to fend off slick sales techniques. It may also help to take the government's advice and avoid touts and offers that sound too good to be true. 304 Orchard Plaza. 6516235-3294.

Ngee Ann City/Takashimaya Shopping Centre Takashimaya, a major Japanese department store import, anchors Ngee Ann City's many smaller boutiques. Alfred Dunhill, Chanel, Coach, Tiffany & Co., Royal Copenhagen, and a Waterford and Wedgwood boutique are found here, along with many other local and international fashion shops. 391 Orchard Rd. 65/6739-9323. Palais Renaissance Shops here include upmarket boutiques like Prada, Versus, and DKNY 390 Orchard Rd. 65/6737-1520.
