Actually, the city is overrated as a whole. Smoking is everywhere, the humidity is horrific, and Singaporeans are incredibly rude…I prefer Hong Kong 10 fold.

I unfortunatley live in Singapore , yes it is overrated , and definately falling apart . It will soon be just another concrete jungle city , with dubious attractions. As for going to Sim Lim , thinks are cheaper elsewhere in the world . Definately a place where people just eat,drink,sleep , and maybe work a bit , even then very inefficiently.
Anyway go to Europe or America , see how many people even know what or where Singapore is .

Yes, I’m a Malaysian but I spend half my time in Singapore due to work and I’ve generally seen the place just fall apart. Shopping is really bad, the staff are slackers and some can’t even speak a word of English, can you believe that? This isn’t China for crying out loud!
I could’t agree with you more about what a rip off this Singapore sling is. It’s literally sugared cough syrup! Tigers are average. Gimme a cold Singha anytime!

Yep, Slings are poor. And it even worse when you turn up on a day when they have them pre-made in a 10 ltr fruit juice machine….oh and standing at the bar looking at bar staff doing nothing until you say “excuse me can I order” and they act like they didnt know what you were standing at the bar for…and you hand over $54 for two.

Shopping in Singapore is generally pretty poor. Sure, we have everything but I find it more exe than most places.

Actually Sim Lim Square is okay as long as you stay away from the first couple of floors (obvious reasons). You can also check out Hardware Clinic (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/forumdisplay.php?f=2) for advice on which shops to visit.

Personally I’ll recommend PC Themes on the 4th floor, the salesmen are really friendly and the prices are one of the lowest at SLS. That’s the only shop I’ll buy from.

I think your friend was being over generous about the singapore sling. I thought it tasted like cough syrup. And at $27 for a singapore sling at raffles, cough syrup probably would have been cheaper.

I think Sentosa should be top of the list for overrated Singapore attractions.
