I don't even know where to begin with this place. It doesn't look that big on the map, but once you're there you really do feel like it's a city of it's own. Sometimes, you walk through the basement thinking, "Alright, I'm out of Suntec" only to find out that you've emerged to Tower 5 (or something like that) and you still haven't left!
Suntec has all the name brand stores you're looking for, and is a good mix of affordable/high end retail. However, I always end up here for food. There are a plethora of restaurants to choose from, also ranging from inexpensive to pricey. So far, I've tried McDonald's near Tower 5 (it's a 2 story Micky D's that's all high-tech and nice, check it out), Muthu's Curry (pretty legit), Bistro 1855 (decent happy hour prices), Tony Roma's (because, MURICA), and Sushi Goshin (good sushi but a bit overpriced.)
Recent renovations and updating their logo has done them well, as everything I've seen is all shiny and new. I wouldn't say this is a tourist destination, but since it's located near some nice hotels and the Singapore Flyer, it's inevitable that tourists end up here.
If you have a lunch meeting here and you've never been, I definitely recommend showing up at least 15-20 minutes early because depending on where you arrive it could take you a while to get where you need to be.
Basically, this is a convenient mall for those who work in the area or for tourists staying nearby. It's beautiful and air-conditioned, but most of the businesses here have outlets all around the island so you're not missing much.
