If you are visiting the Oriental Village for a Cable Car ride, then combine that with a great shopping experience to make the most out of your visit.
The village is an open air themed shopping complex with many retail stores and stalls selling all kinds of items including souvenirs, gifts, apparel, sunglasses, trinkets, art work and lot more. There is also a duty free shop here selling alcohol, cigarettes and perfumes at attractive prices.
This is more of an experience than anything else. You won't go there to buy sophisticated dressing materials or chocolates.

This market is most popular for wide varieties of dirt cheap & piping hot Malay food prepared and served by the vendors from their temporary stalls.
