Where to look for toilet & kitchen related stuff:

toilet & kitchen related fixtures:
pls note that i'm only comparing jambans because in my mind, taps & shower stuff are pretty similar. a good practice i think is to always take a note pad along with you to keep track of the models that you like, as well as the prices each place sells them for.

1) royal fanco (135 Jln Besar. Tel:62990453)
good to go to get initial first quotes as the prices tt are quoted from the uncle (henry) there are pretty reasonable- so you at least know what the 'going rates' are. the uncle there is also pretty knowledgable.

2) Poh Joo (159 Jln Besar, but they have many branches!)
prices for the water closets there were pretty competitive, & the director there (benjamin) is pretty experienced & helpful. definitely good to check out.

3) Hoe Kee (8 Genting Road)
it's also recommended due to variety i think. again, i have not personally checked it out, but have heard it's good.

4)Chuan Heng Hardware (144 Jalan Besar)
prices quoted from his were reasonable too. the dude we spoke to seemed pretty knowledgable. good to check out. :)

5) Sim Siang Choon (551 Balestier Rd)
i had visited this place briefly, but had not compared prices. it does come recommended though.

6) about the jamban
from what i've heard, these are the usual 'brands' to look out for: toto, rigel, genova, american standard, baron, velin, crizto.
also- look through the papers for warehouse sales, as you can get pretty good deals then.
