Although the shop assistants all seem to look a little intimidating to me at first, they all end up quite willing to help. Definitely not the usual "ah beng" attitude in most Sim Lim Square shops.
Their price are really competitive and they carry a pretty wide range of products. One of the more reputable photography shops around.
One of the best known shopping mall in Singapore! It's huge, but yet it seems easy to find your way around. There are all kinds of shops here so almost anything can be found.
If you are a foreigner who is going to visit Singapore, this is a mall that you should drop by.
For those wondering why this place is called Loof, it is actually a clever play on the word "roof", with an inverted "r". Why roof? Probably because the bar is situated on a rooftop, or the fact that there is no roof over the place.
Music there is not too loud, perfect for chatting. And the sofas are really cozy!

Cathay Photo is one of the most popular photography shop in Singapore. Located at Peninsula Plaza's ground floor, they currently take up three units, each catered for different equipments.
Range of products: Excellent! They carry almost anything that is photography-related. Things you can't find in most photography shops, such as Gary Fong's Lightsphere and Lensbaby, can most probably be found here.
Price: By looking at their price tags alone, the prices are hardly reasonable. But more often than not, they are able to give you discounts, which brings the prices down nicely to reasonable levels. Could even be considered one of the lowest prices in town for certain items.
Service: Pretty good. Having so many sales personnel, there are bound to be a few who don't really know their stuffs. But overall, very friendly people.
If only they close later than 7pm. I find it a little too early for people who have to work office hours like myself.
Their food and accessories prices are supposedly very competitive, especially when you are a member.
They have an impressive dog run too, where dog lovers would bring their babies here to let them socialize.
