Before you go

Can I shop at Mustafa Centre in the middle of the night?

Yes, Mustafa's own site says the store is open 24 hours, every day of the week. Individual counters, such as jewellery or the money changer, may keep shorter hours, so ask at the floor you need if you are going very late.

Can I check gold and currency rates at Mustafa Centre?

Yes, Mustafa's site posts daily gold and silver rates in Singapore dollars and forex rates, and the store offers remittances to India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. The rates change daily, so compare the posted figure with the counter before you buy. The site is a guide, not a quote, and the counter's price is the one you pay.
