Take A Mouthwatering Walk Down Memory Lane At These Retro Snack Shops In Singapore
Nostalgia comes in many forms: haw flakes, gem biscuits, bee bee, colourful lime sticks, and more!
If any of those ring a bell, well, it's because childhood snacks never grow old. They bring us back to our good old days and remind us of the colours and joy of life. Have you introduced your favourite childhood snacks to your kids? You might be surprised to know that these goodies are as tasty as you remember.
Take a refreshing trip down memory lane in these shops and see for yourself.
Visit in person
If you're around Yishun, drop by Nelly's Retro Snacks, located in Junction Nine. This store is not hard to miss. It displays an array of colourful snacks (like Bob Dog candy cigarettes) that your kids might find bizarre. But if you'd rather steer them away from vice-adjacent candy, there are tons of other biscuits, candies, and all-day snacks you can munch on together here. As a bonus, you can also revisit some of the famous childhood toys and games you used to enjoy.
