Wedged between Zion and Outram Roads, the standalone Tan Boon Liat Building isn’t exactly your typical shopping haunt, but a trip down to the old building promises to be one that you won’t soon forget. Beyond its old-school décor and large cargo parking spaces, there are over a dozen furniture and home décor stores waiting to be discovered – and we hear there are plenty more to come. That’s why we tag Tan Boon Liat Building as the furniture hub of Singapore.
