AkaMotif - Tanglin Mall

If you cannot make it to Bali or any of the Indonesian islands but are still intent on picking up something authentically Indonesian, you will do well to come straight here. Join the mix of tourists, locals and expatriates poking around the store's range of batik shirts and sarongs, drawstring pouches and bags, cushion covers, woodcarvings, shadow puppets, hand-carved book stands, wall hangings and elaborately carved trinket boxes. Not all the items are from Indonesia though, so look out for trinket boxes from the Middle East and the store's collection of silver accessories and pens.
