Not to be confused with Sim Lim Square: this is the Tower and is on the north side of the same intersection. Sim Lim Tower is where you go to buy electronic components and... well... STUFF, in the same way that you might go to Akihabara if you're in Tokyo. It's a mix of medium and small-to-smaller shops. If you know what you need, but can't find it, ask one of the shopkeepers where they'd go to get the same thing - a good strategy. And shop around. The traders are helpful, knowledgeable, and will spend time with you if you're a serious shopper. There's a food shop on the upper level. If you're an electronics enthusiast looking for a bit of excitement while on holiday, then you could walk all the levels of Sim Lim Tower in about 90 minutes (and then head to Mustafa Centre). But if you want computer bits, then walk back across the intersection to Sim Lim Square. That's exciting shopping too.
