| - I've passed by this place a couple times on my way to the 99ยข Store and have been intrigued. Today I finally went in, and it's more than what I hoped and dreamed it would be. Very small store with 3 aisles, but packed with all kinds of knick knacks including snacks, sushi plates and other dishes, kitchen and bath accessories, toys, hair and makeup goods, and tons of Hello Kitty stuff. Joy! I'm especially excited about all the different kinds of Pocky and snacks there were. They even had Koala's March, aka Koala Yummies for all you other 90s kids out there. They're so impossible to find now so I am still in awe that I was able to buy some. They have mostly HK stuff but also very limited Chococat, Keroppi, Mashimaro (hard to find!!), and some other characters' goodies.
One of the things I most liked was that there are little signs with brief descriptions of what things are. I don't read any Asian languages, so this is extremely helpful for things that come in all Japanese, etc packaging and aren't obvious as to what the heck they are. Awesome!
This should be a good place to find cute gifts for the Asian or Asian at heart. I should mention they also have an assortment of chopsticks, most of which came packaged in sets of 5 for $4.99, all with different designs. Pretty sweet! I hope to buy some dishes and maybe some more snacks next time I stop by. But definitely coming back for more Koala Yummies!
