Hi folks, posting from sunny (ok, clammy) Singapore where I am with work for 4 weeks.
I managed to track down what looks like the equivalent to Denmark St (but with better stock) with about 8 music shops all together in the basement of a shopping centre on Coleman St but Google suggests there are a couple more dotted around. I don't suppose any of you have been out here before and have any pointers? (Guitar-related or otherwise :-) )
I'm still pretty jetlaged so didn't try anything out yesterday, but 2 things were obvious: lots of Japanese stock that I've never seen firsthand in the UK (Fender, ESP, and a nice looking Bacchus Flying V) and the pedals..... one of everything from all those boutiquey US and Japanese brands with crap UK distribution. At first glance prices look to be on a par with UK so I don't think any bargains will be coming home but I do intend to go and try lots of stuff.
Red ones are better.

They weren't ladies.
I'm from Malaysia just across the causeway. I used to get all my gear from Singapore, where it used to be much cheaper than just about anywhere else, as a free port. The gap has narrowed quite a bit recently, but shuikit's right in that there's still a lot more wiggle room for haggling.
