Oh! That's Where Taman Pertama Is!

I totally forgot to mention that I discovered Taman Pertama last week! Slap my forehead - oh! that's Taman Pertama, in my neighbourhood! And I passed by it probably a thousand times so far without 'seeing' the now familiar bright RED 100yen sign!

Anyway, today was free and easy for me, mother had no errands for me at all! I did a bit of exploring at Taman Pertama and discovered that there is a shortcut to Ukay Perdana, Ampang via Jalan Kuari! And there is a bit of a green lung in between Cheras and Ampang!

So was at 100yen outlet there after lunch ~ had a bowl of mee suah soup at this coffee shop in Taman Pertama.
Below: BTW, this was my sole purchase from 100Yen @ Taipan yesterday! Been wanting to get this for the longest time!

And I finished Suchen Christine Lim's 'A Bit Of Earth' today at Taman Pertama! Interesting enough a read on the history of the Cantonese and Hakkas miners in Perak and Penang. And today's snowy ice is Coffee & Chocolate Chips - not too sweet! Too bad, the gurl manning the shop totally forgot to use my especially purchased mug for the ice!
And guess who I met at the 100Yen shop? Melanie and Nigel!

Bamboo crochet hooks!

100Yen Shop @ Taipan, Subang Jaya!

While at the 100yen outlet in Taman Desa yesterday, was informed that another outlet is/was about to open at Taipan in Subang! So with time to spend this afternoon after finishing my errands with mother, drove up to Carrefour @ Subang, called Molly for directions to Taipan! With her instructions, found Taipan rather easy! Thanks Molly!

Its the 2nd shop on Jalan USJ 10/1C, Taipan, 47620 Petaling Jaya! There, you have been informed!



So happen that while I was at the shop, the owner and her dad (from Penang) were in the shop and we had a little chat! The reason why the various outlets do not carry the same products is the 100yen inventory consists of 27,000(?) items and each outlet carries roughly 1,000(?) items and then they have a certain quantity to adhere to.

And I am pretty amazed that in the current economic situation, brave souls like this father and daughter team and the various franchise outlets owners are opening up everywhere! I take my hat off to salute them! Basically, the franchise outlets are like mom&pop outfits ~ so its really important that we support the outlets located near us!

BTW, I liked the way that the various items had been displayed to indicate their usage (e.g. the sandwich bento box - opened up) - extra touches to make a difference!

These pictures are from Taipan outlet: Enjoy!
(Nope, no membership for me today.... I bought only one item! MY room is bursting at the seams!)
