Hello Kitty Supermarket

13 March 2017 in FUN, HONG KONG, SHOPPING

The love for Hello Kitty (and other Sanrio characters) in Hong Kong is strong, has always been strong and likely will continue to keep going strong! I share the love for Hello Kitty and I just really enjoy how Hong Kong completely embraces the cuteness. ;)

You would think Hong Kong already has a variety of Hello Kitty themed businesses, with a cafe, dim sum restaurant and organic farm, but why not a supermarket too? ;) I checked it out a week ago and I completely love it! Apparently, it’s the world’s first Hello Kitty themed supermarket and arguably the world’s cutest one too!

The only downside is that this cute theming is a pop-up by the YATA supermarket chain, so the Hello Kitty theme will end on 31 May 2017. Definitely check it out while you can!

I don’t know where the wine went but check out these adorable Hello Kitty shaped bottles of water!

The supermarket is brand new, covers two floors and from my visit, I’d say that the Hello Kitty theme covers 75% of the supermarket. I think YATA did a great job incorporating the theme, but it’s not entirely Hello Kitty-fied, which is totally fine by me.

I also wanted to add that there are a few stands selling Hello Kitty desserts outside of the supermarket, to go along with the theme and one of them is the yummy baby Mon Cher cakes from Japan, which I love!

Beyond the Hello Kitty theme, because it is a supermarket after all, I wanted to point out that this YATA outlet also stocks quite a wide selection of Japanese food and products and shopping here is a little pricier than the average Wellcome or ParknShop. My sister did point out that the quality of food sold was much better though, so there’s that.

The YATA & Hello Kitty pop-up is very fun and it’s so cute that they managed to turn grocery shopping into an experience, it’s awesome! The pop-up supermarket is located in the Western end of Hong Kong Island in Sai Wan and I’ve included the address and other details at the end of this post.

2020 felt so slow, but 2021 has me feeling like time is flying by. The year started and as I race along trying to keep up, it's April! Perhaps it's the spring themed everything going around, but I'm feeling hopeful for new beginnings again.🌸
This is it, goodbye 2020. What a whirlwind of a lo This is it, goodbye 2020. What a whirlwind of a long year.

Here's to 2021! 💫 To better and brighter days ahead! 🌈
Merry Christmas! ⭐ Wishing everyone a wonderful Merry Christmas! ⭐ Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas season filled with warmth and peace. 😌 

P.S. Here are some Christmas photos I've been happily compiling and will be up on citygirlcitystories.com as a photo diary of Christmas in Singapore soon (hopefully this weekend)!

It's been a long tiring week, so I've been having a simple weekend: getting up for breakfasts, book shopping, picking up more books at the library, watching TV and cozy Youtube vlogs. :) 

I usually fill my weekends with a full schedule, but 2020 has taught me that quiet slower ones are just as good. 😌

Running this personal lifestyle blog has been such a passion project. ⭐ 6 years in, this blog has journeyed with me from Hong Kong to Singapore, from university to working life. I'm still the same city girl exploring her city though, and I still have plenty of things to share. 😊

I've talked more on the blog (link in bio) with photo memories from the past 6 years. Check it out! 🤗
