My foreign brand wishlist

The opening of H&M prompted Straits Times to run a feature on some of the foreign brands people wished to see in Singapore.

Here are some I’ve come up with offhand:

1. Krispy Kreme – I never fail to buy donuts whenever I spot a store because, for some unfathomable reason, Singapore doesn’t have them yet.
2. Loft – Have this store and you’ll never run out of interesting gift ideas or be short of small trinkets to purchase. Loft stocks nearly everything including furniture, electronics, stationery, party costumes and food. Found only in Japan, and their website is here.
3. La Duree – If you love chewy macarons, this is THE place to get them. It’s arguably the best macaron patisserie in France – those who prefer their macarons bland without the chewiness would probably prefer Pierre Herme instead.
4. Afternoon Tea – It sells pretty and tasteful lifestyle products, as well as a selection of consumables. Certain outlets have a tea room too, which I think will work very well in Singapore. Visit their website here.
