Night Bazaar at Clarke Quay

Categories:

Clarke Quay, one of Singapore's favourite night recreation and dining venues, has a monthly evening bazaar that offers shoppers an eclectic mix of fashion accessories, shoes, ladies' bags, gifts and handicrafts.

This cooling night market presents an updated version of the local pasar malam (Malay for 'night market') for tourists and office-weary city executives alike.

Catch the vibes here if you're planning to be around the Clarke Quay area along the Singapore River.

When

Do you like the new ION Orchard mall name ?

Background:

According to news reports after the announcement of the official naming of ION Orchard, straw polls indicated that most didn't quite like the name.

From a 18th July 2007 Straits Times article by May Yip:

"...a straw poll of 50 shoppers, branding experts and retail industry players yesterday drew mostly thumbs-down responses - 26 per cent liked the name but 68 per cent hated it. The rest were indifferent."

Perhaps Ms Claire Cher, senior marketing and communications manager of property-based UOL Group, sums it up best at the end of the article:

"The name doesn't bring to mind a shopping mall, but it works because it's different... The fact that we're talking about it, discussing it and debating whether it's a good name or not means that they've done a good job getting themselves noticed."
