Dining at Sim Lim Square centres around a food court hidden away in the basement of the mall, which serves up a wide range of hawker style dishes. Cuisine is mainly Asian and delivered in a fast-paced and easy environment, at very low prices.
This is not the place for fine dining or even café culture – think Asian fast food in a busy environment, with clean, basic seating arrangements.
There is a seemingly never-ending stream of genuine competitions taking place at Sim Lim Square, mostly lucky draws with prizes including cars, cash, and computers. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the mall and featured products that are on special offer are listed in the Sim Lim Square brochure.
Sim Lim Square also operates a STARetailer pledge where outlets with the star sign have pledged to not sell products above the recommended retail prices and to provide a clear, polite and honest service to customers. Look for the poster in the shop window featuring the STARetailer logo.
Sim Lim Square is within walking distance of Bugis MRT and Little India MRT at 1 Rochor Canal Road. Although the mall is open daily, it’s best avoided at weekends when it can become very crowded. There is a buyer’s guide available at the mall to help you get the best out of your trip. The centre can appear haphazard in layout so make sure you grab a guide before you start your shopping.
