We didn't buy too much souvenirs from Singapore though we did get some Merlion mini-sculptures and a Singapore keychain from a stall on Sago Street in Chinatown.
The Merlion mini-sculpture is S$3 each, and the keychain is $S0.5 - both were cheaper than souvenirs in Hong Kong.We don't remember the location of the stall where we purchased except that it was run by a very friendly Malay or Indian young man.
In Little Arab, we saw many unique perfume bottles, with attractive shapes in various colors though they were rather expensive. When purchasing souvenirs, it is important to consider how to bring the them home safely (these fragile perfume bottles will probably be difficult to take home).
We asked the locals where the durian specialty store was but we were told that January was not durian season (summer is the seaon for durians) , so the store was closed.
The only thing we could do was to buy some durian cookies and dried durian from the Cold Storage supermarket.The Durian Cookies (S$5.1) have a weak durian taste - not worth the price. The Fruit King Durian 4 in 1 (S$3.45) has a nice strong durian taste - we regret not buying more.
Even now, we don't know when summer is in Singapore, since the weather is about the same all year round.
