We know that Orchard Road is a shopper's paradise.
But it is No. 1 in the world?
Yes, said French mystery shopping firm Presence, which surveyed 30 of the world's most well-known shopping streets, including the Champs Élysées in Paris.
Singapore aced all the categories and topped the list with 89 points out of 100.
The results have come as quite a shock even to those rooting for the shopping belt, such as the Orchard Road Business Association (Orba).
"We are humbled by this recognition. After all, Orchard Road is the pride of Singapore," Orba's executive director, Mr Steven Goh, said.
"It is a gem of a street and we are heartened that the ongoing endeavours by Orchard Road stakeholders, government agencies and Orba have been recognised internationally."
