Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Patricia Jade OShanghai Region, China2 contributionsHad the best time ever!
Elaine, the lady manning the shop was super friendly like a pop of sunshine with endless energy. Jacob the boss was kind and super patient. But your best friend here is Ah Thai who knows where everything is stored so he can find the exact amount of items you specifically want.
Had a wide range of wonderful pieces at super competitive pricing and well worth the trip when you are in SG!
It was an amazing discovery and one of my best experiences ever ; I definitely will be back for more! (In fact going back again tomorrow 🙈)Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I enjoyed looking at hundreds of gorgeous things and will go back again to see more. Loved it, a wonderful shop one of the best in Singapore for antiques.Written 1 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RobtaneStockholm, Sweden924 contributionsInitially the staff member made me very comfortable. Then after awhile they were able to tell me the background of some of the items I was looking at. So helpful.
I think their prices are good and they could organise delivery.Written 5 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Shawn never fails to patiently explain and assure me in whatever problems I have with my clock, while David teaches and educates me about the clocks and their mechanisms.
They are experts in what they do and I truly believe they are the best in Singapore be it purchasing a unique piece of history for your home or restoring your antique clock to its full glory.Written 26 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Will definitely return on next trip to Singapore.Written 12 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PuppySayangSingapore, Singapore31 contributionsCharity thrift shop that is well lighted, clean and air-conditioned. Items start from $1, good selection of clothings (women, men and kids), knickknacks and well stocked kitchen and homewares. They carry branded items, vintage and cute stuff too. Always a treasure hunt.
I have sent my boys to the shop when they needed to pick jackets for their grad nights. 100% success rate! Ask the volunteers on duty and they will help you pick items that suit you too.
They have their IG and FB page that highlight latest interesting items but always best to visit in person. I have picked out cute stuff that are not showcased on their socials. My regular haunt for sure.
Good to know that shop is mostly helmed by volunteers and proceeds goes towards helping the disadvantaged.Written 10 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Spent 4 hours going through this place and saw some amazing stuff. Will visit again, lot to see.Written 27 January 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- garethmillerMelbourne, Australia3 contributionsAt the recommendation of a friend based in Singapore, we took a trip to Journey East (since we were also headed to the historic, now gentrified, district of Tiong Bahru). The people behind this store take regular trips throughout Java to source for vintage teak wood pieces that date between 1910 and 1960. Walking through this store was like taking a trip down memory lane in Asia!Written 17 August 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
