The Meow Meow/s


I've no idea what this is supposed to be. But in our office, all things related to the cat thingy are known collectively as the 'meow-meow'. The shop is therefore unimaginatively referred to as 'the meow-meow shop'.

The meow meow has stirred all sorts of strange desires in the colleagues. The other time in Hanoi, the girls went crazy and swept the meow meow stores of its stocks. o_O For the life of me, I didn't understand why.

Office peeps wanted me to check out meow meow cushions here. Since I could squish them in my luggage and the cushions will be none the worse for wear, I said okay to buying 2 if there were nice (by my standards) ones.

Thankfully, the shops have got names and aren't too difficult to find. Imagine trying to ask someone about it. I think they'll be hard pressed to keep a straight face.

We easily found 2 in the vicinity. Okay meow meow lovers, besides the very obvious difference if you look at the website, here're the other differences between the 2 (out of 4) shops in Vũng Tàu. The one in the side street across from Palace Hotel is called 'Hikosen Cara'. It stocks the meow meow cushions with terry cloth material and a wider range of products. The prices for cushions begin at VND190,000. The other shop on the street facing the sea is The Pet Shop. This tiny shop offers a smaller range of products and its cushions are made in smooth fabric material and prices for cushions begin at VND100,000.

There were cute little sundresses for little girls. I had to get one! Heeee. The pouches were kinda cute. But nothing I'd use. So better don't waste money. Oh yes, mission's accomplished. I came away with 2 meow meow cushions.

I think it's a sundress? The stuff is cheap - and no, that's not a subtle hint to buy me anything. Seriously - no more cat stuff :)

tuti: takashimaya sells them at double the prices! so it'd be nice if a little franchise opens up somewhere else! wahahah. think can't throw in cute cats there! only if they're stuffed toys!
