Shopping : Tai Sun 'Potato Chips' Warehouse

If you and your partner love shopping, this will be a unique shopping experience for the both of you. Read on to find out more...

Hari Raya is coming round the corner, in just like 2 more weeks? Time sure passed by fast this Ramadhan.

When you think of Hari Raya, you'll think of all the food (my favourite is the rendang and ketupat). And while the Chinese have their pineapple tarts and the Indians have their Murukku, the Malays have an assortment of kuih and baked cookies!
This year we're slightly lazy to bake, my dad bought these goodies at Giant Hypermarket in IMM.
However, we still felt there's something missing which we usually get every year. Something crispy, crunchy. Something that when once you pop, you can't stop. 
You guess it right! Potato chips! Well we all know that these aren't exactly the healthiest snack, but... let's ALL be guilt-free together this time round.

So we headed off to get them. Not to NTUC, Sheng Siong or Giant, but to the warehouse factory itself. Located at Pandan Loop, Tai Sun sells snacks though not advertised to the public. And you can definitely get them at a cheaper price here!

Beautiful morning and it has just started to get busy.
It was such a lovely morning! The workers were really busy packing goods into their trucks and vans but everyone was still friendly and helpful. We were led to the warehouse shop which was further in. While the Mr is fascinated by forklifts and neat stacks of cartons, I went inside to Snack Paradise...

Neatly stacked potato chips flavours ensures efficient service as well. Plus this looks so beautiful to our OCD eyes. haha

As you can see, there are tons of potato chip flavours such as:
  • - Black Pepper
  • - Salted
  • - Barbeque 
  • - Chilli
  • - Cheese
  • - Sour cream & Onion
  • - Salsa

The hot favourites for us are the Chilli and Sour Cream & Onion. You can either get your potato chip fix in a small bag, a carton or a biscuit tin.

It's not that big but it's definitely packed with lots of goodness
There are a variety of other snacks as well. You can see the decorative ketupats hanging from the ceiling... haha. Both of us were really impressed by the man who served us. Even in a warehouse, he's wearing proper shirt and pants. *thumbs up*

Happy with my loot :D

I only bought a tin because we're riding his bike home. Imagine me carrying multiple tins of these... That would be comical. A tin of any flavour like this costs $22. I'm sure the price had increased from the years back but still.. It's really cheap! Considering that a small bottle of any kuih Raya will cost that same amount or more. Hopefully these can last through the whole month of Hari Raya. (I doubt so.) Love how the sun shines in this photo :)

My healthy snack for work. And at $8.20 it is definitely a steal! NOMs

I also got this from the warehouse. Super lovely as a healthy snack. You could get it for your partner so they can munch on them in the office. It costs $9.80 in NTUC but only costs $8.20 direct from the warehouse! Great huh? :D (pssst. Nuts are known to be an alternative source of protein, and they also contain many valuable vitamins and minerals!)

So if you're thinking of a different kind of shopping date, why not visit Tai Sun soon? Get your snack fix and at the same time surprise your loved one by bringing them to a place they have never thought of going before.

It's also a good place to visit to grab your goodies before the festive season such as Chinese New Year and Hari Raya. And for those thinking of getting some for your workplace pantry, it's definitely a great deal with huge savings!

Have fun!
