Tekka Mall's main building main entrance

Tekka Mall's Sheng Siong building main entrance

Tekka Mall (Chinese: 德卡廊) is the first and largest modern shopping mall at the Little India precinct in Singapore. Tekka Mall has two buildings: the main building and another housing Sheng Siong Hypermarket. It is located on the southern part of Little India. The main building is located on the junction of Serangoon Road and Sungei Road and the Sheng Siong building is located on the junction of Perak Road and Sungei Road. Both of the buildings are separated by a road, Clive Road. It lies opposite Tekka Centre across Serangoon Road.

[edit] History

Tekka Mall was built on the site of the old Kandang Kerbau Market, which was torn down in 1982 to make way for the construction of Tekka Mall.

[edit] Facilities

[edit] Main building

Although it is considered the main building, it is about half the size of the Sheng Siong building. Tenants in the main building are mainly thrift shops, ranging from jewellery to household items to clothings. There are also some food shops, a music school, a betting outlet, some travel agencies, a department store, a fresh market and a money changer. There was once a Burger King outlet at basement 1 but it has closed down due to lack of businesses.

[edit] Sheng Siong building

Bigger that the main building, the Sheng Siong building is mostly occupied by Sheng Siong - it owns the food court at level 1 and the hypermart at level 2. There are also a few minor tenants selling items like handphone accessories and pre-school books. There is also a handphone shop. The mall has a car park and a loading and unloading bay. The car parks are located on levels 3 to 7.

[edit] Linkbridges

One can walk between the main building and the Sheng Siong building either by crossing the road that separate the two building or use any of the three linkbridge located on levels 2, 5 and 6 of both buildings.
