Elderly Auntie At Beauty World Store Sells Nostalgic Snacks

UPDATE (10 June, 8.50pm): Speaking to MS News, the TikTok OP who visited the Beauty World shop again on Saturday (10 June) said that most of the snacks were sold out, likely thanks to the attention the store has been getting.

Besides toys and snacks, there are also name keychains for just S$1.50 each, which would make perfect gifts.

Seeing the positive effects of the online sharing, the OP hopes to help other small businesses and shine a light on them to drive more footfall. Anyone who has suggestions is welcome to leave comments on her TikTok posts.

In an age where instant gratification gets boring quickly, some people may miss the experience of shopping at brick-and-mortar stores. Thankfully, they can still find such places in Singapore, such as a stall selling snacks in Beauty World.

Helmed by an elderly auntie, the store recently gained much attention on TikTok.

Selling a set of three keropok or cracker bundles for only S$5.50, the affordable prices are a big draw.

According to the OP, the store is located at basement 1 of Beauty World Centre.

Entering the shop, she showed how customers can find a wide variety of snacks and toys on display. Older viewers may recognise many of the snacks as nostalgic treats they used to enjoy as children.

From iced gem biscuits to different types of candy, the child in you will surely be staring wide-eyed at the snacks the store offers.

When the OP told the auntie that she will be recommending the shop to her family and friends, she said that the elderly lady appeared extremely grateful and flashed a smile.
