Raffles City (Laifushi Guangchang)

Description:

• This ultramodern Singapore joint venture, aided by a prime location across from People's Square, is one of the biggest draws for hip mall rats. There's a cineplex showing Chinese and occasional Hollywood films, an IMAX theatre, a fitness center, and retail shops ranging from local outfits to international names like Nike, Guess, and Swatch, but it's the many dining establishments (Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, a popular bakery called Bread Talk, and an excellent food court called Megabite) that are the main draw. 10am to 10pm.
