What's buzzling at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza is non other than Japan's top online shopping mall - Rakuten ! I remembered back then spotting some really cute bento making accessories on Rakuten Japan's website but didn't managed to order as it was all in Japanese and isn't great news (for me definitely) for all online shopaholics that now it's making it's presence in Singapore ! Jump for joy !
Rakuten Singapore Marketplace currently features over 100,000 goods from 150 merchants with a diverse mix of product categories ranging from fashion apparel and accessories, food and beverages, health and beauty products, consumer electronics, babies and kids' products, toys and games, living ware and home furniture. More to come as it aims to acquire 300 merchants by the end of this year !
