This is within the Singapore tourist belt area, so there is ample tourist traffic to offer the DCC option I guess. I was using a local cc at the time, so I couldn't verify if the DCC option is honoured. Just a data point for FT-ers who are ever in Singapore - do look out for these!

* for those FT-ers not living in Singapore, Isetan is a Japanese-brand supermarket targeting the more affluent and Japanese community here. OCBC Bank is one of the few banks offering merchant acquirer services, although DBS, UOB and Citibank are the more common acquirers.
