Wany told me about this street in Hong Kong where there are a lot of toys and stationery for sale and we should go and check it out to get some supplies for our Party Minions game events.
This "Toy Street" is located at Tai Yuen Street in Wan Chai and you can take a train to Wan Chai Station, Exit A3.
The number of shops on this street... so many! On both left and right side! You are literally spoilt for choice! The items they sell are quite similar, though some of them specializes in stationery/toys/decorations.
Some of the shops are double storey so you can go upstairs to have a look. One particular shop we went to was totally deserted cos the items were quite expensive even though they have a huge selection. We were the only 2 persons in the shop and we did not even see any staff around. Level 2 was empty and we could have just grab stuff and walk out and I think no one will bother... We left after having a quick look cos actually quite creepy to be in a really quiet shop with just a small narrow exit and no one else around.
We spent some time browsing through the different stores and found one which has the cheapest price amongst the others! Just look out for the shop with the blue signboard.
Their prices are very reasonable and there are many many people inside (cos cheap). They are constantly stocking up the items cos people buy by the basket! Just look at all the empty carton boxes outside the shop!
Wany is my QC manager. She stops me from buying nonsense things. Hahahahahha!
They have so many cool stationery! Some are really nostalgic, like from our younger days type and you can't really find them in Singapore anymore. Wany tried to bargain for me but they didn't even give us a second look and charged us full price. Oh wells, so cheap already cannot complain lah. Hahahahahaha!
Happy customers! Hahahahaha!
Afterwards we walked back down the street to the train station to go for dinner! There were a lot of lanterns everywhere because 04 October is Mid-Autumn festival! They are obviously those unlicensed fake products but some were really good grade A fakes. LOL!
The street looks super "Hong Kongy"if you know what I mean.. Like most of us grow up watching Hong Kong dramas/movies so this type of scenes is very familiar to us. Old dingy buildings with bright signboards. Hahahahaha!
The weather is so hot that we had to stop in Starbucks to get some drinks. In total we bought 2 bags of items.. not a lot but the items are quite bulky.
Tadahhhh! :)
