Mustafa is amazing especially if you have a car, just go in the middle of the night to avoid the crowd. And the branded things are all legit. And the loofah squash is how you get the loofah sponge. Really good for you, lotsa fibre. And you can slide the cable ties out quite easily with a pin and reuse both. I always do that. And prices for fresh food is kinda comparable to ntuc. If you want cheaper groceries, sheng siong is probably the cheapest. Prices of cheese is kinda meh but you can get a 1kg block of cheddar for 11 which is pretty good. Best thing about the grocery section is actually the fact that you can find exotic fruits and veggies. Since you are on a keto diet, you can get a lot of non dairy unsweetened milk replacement there too (almond milk, etc). It you are comparing pennies, the best reason to go there is the toiletries, electronics, white goods, supplements, health food, dry food goods, spices, medication, foreign currency exchange
I studied abroad this semester in Singapore, and on my first day, I went to mustafa center to get everything I needed for my dorm. Definitely recommend it for convenience, but I do not recommend going your first day in a new country all alone! Quite the culture shock haha!
Tip! If you wanna re-use those plastic carriers (or use your purchases right after leaving Mustafa, and don't have a pair of scissors with you), just twist the handles of your carriers tightly and pull out the cable ties from the top!
its all real branded stuff. Its just the way its displayed. ive seen even designer handbags stacked on shelfs looking like their fake but its like over $100. And its Singapore, they wouldn't want to be caught dead selling fakes are original prices.
Ah, thanks, I was worried, cause when she showed all the perfumes, I was like, Oh wow, I want to get stuff for my mom and sisters here, but are they fake? Good to know they are the real brands and not knock offs. Whew!
Colombian Muscle Papi Rest assured that perfume sold here is the real genuine stuff. Another thing to note that branded perfume and branded luggage as well as most imported products are cheaper in Singapore than most asian countries.
Mustafa is spread across two buildings, but they are only connected via the second floor market section. It is definitely a maze and can be rather confusing to navigate through. It's quite likely that you may not be able to find the same exit you entered through in the first place.
@harry krishton I found it weird too, they have someone standing at the entrance and asks you to put your bags/plastic bags into the locker outside, at least that's what happened the last time I was there
I used to go there to buy my perfume, chai tea & Maggi Mee from India. Oh and my retro Casio calculator watch for $25. And whenever when I am there, I always bump into Korean tourists who would stock up on the Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream. I once saw a couple of them buying at least 10 tubs of them!
Mustafa used to be x2 bigger but then they demolished 1 part of it idk why. Probs to make way for some residential area. Hope to bring you around SG someday 🤙
There's actually a very good DVD/Blu-ray section at Mustafar, where you can find movies and shows that may not be available in other video stores, some of them also come at a good price!
I’m always there for toiletries!! It’s at the 3rd floor which is above the groceries level. Midnight is the best time to shop there.. 😆 you can literally roam around like it’s ur house..
The shoes are legit! I think part of the reason why the prices are a bit lower is because mustafa disposes any packing material, so they're able to ship large volumes of shoes to their store, and they'd just chuck all these shoes right onto the shelves.
Went to Mustafa two weeks ago. Bought an i-phone cover, dandelion and burdock drink, a type of mango I'd never seen before and some glue for my bathroom. Such a random place, lol
There is a way to easily slip the cable tie off once u r out of the mall. Just twist the plastic bag around until you can slip the cable tie off. It's actually quite simple.
I use to go to the Mustafa Centre all the time, when I use to stay at the Parkroyal on Kitchener Road. Mustafa is a great place to grab a cheap bargain, the only negative I have is the place can be a bit cramped & busy.
Georgia.....I have been Singapore every year from Australia since 2010...will be there again July and first stop is Mustafa,s......I buy all my shirts for the year, toothpaste , wife buys a years supply of pens....and more.....like to go late to avoid the rush...so so cheap..
Never eaten a loofah but here in US we dry them, slice them in circles or chunks and use them as bath sponges and face scrubbers. They're a natural exfoliater; I have some in my shower now.
Mustafa center, such an iconic venue in little India(Serangoon/Jln Besar) area. Watched them expand over the decades it's became a must visit with South Asian visitors, yes very international.
Singapore being SIngapore, it's also late at night. For really quiet speedy shopping, go at 5-6am in the morning. Also, I don't know if you checked out the electronics section. Massive. Also, as a Singaporean in London, it's always great to see your perspectives on Singapore.
one way to be able to remove the cable tie without damaging the plastic bag would be to twist the handle tightly so that it can slip out of the cable tie, this trick also works with knots that can’t be untied :)
I went to Mustafa when I was in Singapore a couple of years ago. I didn't know it was such an iconic place, I just had to buy some groceries in the middle of the night and Google Maps showed me Mustafa Centre.
It's funny how you think it's a bit hard to find stuff in singapore because when I was living in the uk, I found it hard to find stuff and just resorted to Amazon whenever I could. The shops close so early and they don't normally stock what I need (I normally look for art supplies, and I personally found that you have to go to specialised art stores in uk whereas in Singapore I can pop into a bookstore/ supermarket and get what I need).
one thing i dont like mustafa is those goods sold over counter , you have to pay it with receipt then go back again to collect the goods , quite troublesome
Any Indian from any Indian country, India, Pakistan, etc, keeps on asking me about Mustafa Centre. 🤣 And I work at the airport. I believe Mustafa Centre is popularly legendary status in Indian region I guess.
Every Singaporean knows and educate tourist about mustafa ctr...even better lets show tourists mustafas mega residence with the quirky shaped roof! 🤣🤣🤣👋
Things at Mustafa aren't always cheaper. Some items may be up to 5 - 10% more expensive than other retailers. But with everything under one roof, I wouldn't mind paying for the convenience.
I'm surprised they let you in with your camera! They actually will use a cable tie to lock your bag closed while you are inside the store. Thanks for the vid!
Just FYI selling counterfeit products is illegal in Singapore, everything is Mustafa is 100% legit or they would get into quite a bit of legal trouble.
The mall is big so when u see something want 2 buy juz take it dont think that i will come bk later coz it big n u might walk n walk very far from your items.
Are those shoes cheap? As someone with large feet, its hard finding shoes my size at US13. Only expensive store selling those sizes. Therefore i only have a few shoes....
How in the world have you been staying in Singapore all this time and not gone to Mustafa?? Whoever were your local Singaporean friends before this video have failed you.... Wah lau eh...
