Where can I find _________ in Singapore?

PURPOSE
: Welcome to Finders Keepers, an informal collection of ideas on where to find products/services in Singapore. It is meant for those who are (1) new to Singapore, (2) looking for recommendations, or (3) looking for something that is difficult-to-find. It is not meant to include everything, as there are many books and websites that can do that.

HISTORY: Finders Keepers was started by some friends in the Relief Society (women's organization) of the Singapore First Ward (one of the congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). This website is not sponsored by the Church itself (for the official Church website, please visit www.mormon.org).

HOW TO USE: If you would like to add or update something, please post the info, and it will be considered for the next "master list." Please share products or services that you highly recommend, those you have found useful while living in Singapore.
