Barang Barang is a fabulous marketing complex in the heart of the Singapore City. Although in Malay it means Knick Knack, the market actually promotes homegrown items of Singapore. Therefore, Barang Barang is reminiscent of the ancient heritage of Singapore and it tries its best to revive the former Malay culture. The ancient goods belonging to the Malays have almost vanished from the world and people cannot avail them even if they try hard. But the Barang Barang shopping arcade puts in its best effort to revive the indispensable culture of the Malays. Therefore articles like plates, vases and candles are sold in the stores of Barang Barang. They are especially prepared in the ancient Malay style and are nowhere available. Barang Barang takes pride in those heritage pieces, and also guarantees the authenticity of these articles. Apart from these accessories, Barang Barang also sells antique sofas, coffee tables and shelves. Modern adaptations of these materials are also available here. They are made to suite the taste of speckled culture and outlook and are a welcome relief from the ordinary furniture. All the articles are available at reasonable prices and considering the superb quality of the items the cost is absolutely nominal.
