Made In Japan!



Not only Japanese cars , Japanese food , Japanese movies or Hello Kitty are popular here, I found out that many Malaysians are also crazy about the Japanese convenience goods and livingware at Daiso Stores. Those who are staying in Klang Valley mesti penah pegi kan?



Daiso Store Bukit Bintang Plaza

Daiso is Japan's No 1 ranking livingware suppliers which sell all kinds of daily necessities and convenience goods at one price - that is RM5. The truth is..I myself love to go there too. I think Japanese stuffs are always so cute and unique which you cannot find elsewhere. Everytime I go down to KL, I would surely stop at Daiso Store. Besides in KL, Daiso can also be found in Malacca and Sabah. Actually, satu dunia pun ada Daiso Stores ni.


As I am a Bento (lunch box) enthusiast, I would love to just check on the Bento accessories at Daiso stores.


Bento accesories


A Bento box for my daughter. My daughter likes to make the heart shaped or star-shaped ala-bento sandwiches ...tapi bukan slalu buat camni tau. Membazir!



Stationaries for myself and my children. I just love to buy stationaries and stuffed them in my pencil box .


Nevertheless, be really careful when picking up your items to throw into your basket as each RM5 item does add up very quickly. Some items are cheaper if you buy them somewhere else.


Besides Daiso Store, here in the East Coast, Japanese recond bicycles are very popular as well. In Kelantan, Japanese bicycles became very popular about 2 years ago while in Terengganu baru je nak mula popular. Just last month, a Japanese bicycle shop was opened near my house.




Japanese bicycles are popular because of their good qualities. They are long lasting and are of various models and designs.


..and I am a proud owner of 3 Japanese bicycles which I bought in Kelantan 2 years ago. Haha..basikal je pun kecoh..




Sarah and her Japanese bicycle. Everywhere she goes, she would bring her teddy bear in the basket.



Well, have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful week ahead.

Fun yeah? :) You say Daiso store available in Sabah? Dah dua tiga kali I went to KK tapi takde pun jumpa or I must have missed it. Would love v much to enter one, there's none in my hometown unfortunately.

  28. We have a Japantown in San Francisco. There you will find everything Japanese...bookstores, restaurants, toys, flowers, furnitures, and etc. Japanese items tend to be pricier but I think it's because the quality is there. I read food labels and I notice that they rarely use artificial colors or flavorings for some of their food items.

  29. Rosebell- A Japantown is interesting! You are right Japanese items tend to be pricer. The Japanese are very advanced in almost everything. That's why their items are always unique and advanced in technology especialy.

  30. Puan Isah- My pleasure...U r welcome Mak Isah!
