Good Evening!
This weekend stumbled into what someone like me would me would describe as a marvellous pink dream. As a Hello Kitty enthusiast, Thailand has done nothing less than indulge me, with this flirty mouth-less cat (although Sanrio state she isn't a cat, but a personified character, her real name is Kitty White, she was born in southern England on November 1, 1974. She is a Scorpio and blood type A - who knew?!)
Anyway, as brunch turned into shopping at Siam Paragon, our girly weekend was spanning out wonderfully, only to remember that we were mere meters away from Hello Kitty House!
Hunting it down around the back entrance to Siam Square 1, the excitement began:
Walking into the house starts at the cafe, where you can indulge in kitty-themed coffee, pink smoothies, pink milk, pink cake, even Hello-kitty themed pad-thai and curry! - her face is on everything!
Adorable cakes presented with many a kitty icons, will set you back around 180bt (£3.60)
Below is the 'snow cotton' menu, aka shaven ice, which is exactly as it sounds, ice shavings with different toppings - surprisingly popular in Thailand, with parlours dedicated to the stuff! A large serving costing around 285bt (£5.70).
Walking through the cafe and down the stairs brings you to the souvenir shop, which really does have everything you could think of....
Stocking clothing, stationary, kitchenware, sports equipment and miscellaneous in the millions!
Going to have to customise my sewing machine after seeing this....
Looks like 41 year old Ms White likes her champers!
and isn't flawless without a little cosmetic help....
Of course there's a few hundred plush bears!
How delish' do these look?!
In the voice of immigration 'good guys in, bad guys out'.....
There's also 1/3 of a cool shiny car you can get in (until a spoilt 2-year old starts screaming and crying for her turn and ruins your fun!)
Heading to the back of the store brings you to Hello Kitty Beauty Spa, offering treatments including massages, mani/pedi's, and semi-permanent make-up.
Although my poor girl bank account couldn't afford the spa, I skipped out merrily, having had my fix!
Besides who wouldn't want to jump on the Hello Kitty band wagon, especially when it looks like this....
And leaves you with a smile on your face like this :D
Until next week...Goodbye Kitty! xoxo
