Retail Cravings: Snackfood Hits the Spot

Located on the second floor along one of Bangsar’s trendy shopping streets {17 A, Jalan Telawi 3} Snackfood is like walking into a cool collector’s loft. With a genius mix of vintage treasures nestled among modern finds, it’s the perfect spot to find something memorable.

Snackfood is a treasure trove of modern and vintage finds from around the globe.

The eclectic mix of clothing and home accessories is perfectly paired with a soundtrack that invites you to linger and spend some time examining the items on display.

Shopping at Snackfood is a real pleasure. Above the bustling street below, it becomes easy to lose track of time.

Snackfood features a great selection of books and indie magazines.

Since first discovering this little shop, I’ve been back at least three times.  It’s the first place I think of when I need a gift for someone special.

Gifts for the young, and young at heart, are easy to come by here.

I especially love that they carry one of my personal favorite brands, Jewel Rocks.  This is a brand I came to love in Jakarta, and was able to visit their flagship store in Bali–which is a magical little place in itself.

There is something interesting around every corner at Snackfood.

If you happen to love vintage typewriters, the folks at Snackfood will help procure one for you and will do their best to make it functional again. You can even have one customized.  Personalized service like that is hard to beat.

Whimsical home accents are something of a specialty here.  These ceramic pieces are cute and functional.

Snackfood also carries hard to find brands like Tokyo Milk. I get compliments every time I wear Tainted Love.

These little dishes would be perfect ring holders by the sink.  Items with such personality help turn a living space into a home.

This is Tara. She may come out, if she feels like it.

If the assortment of quirky goodness isn’t enough to convince you to drop by, then the fact that Snackfood has two feline permanent residents, should do the trick.   Tara and Black Jack are great shopping companions (but a little camera shy).

Snackfood is a beautifully curated  shop and with many great restaurants nearby, it becomes easy to make heading there into a great afternoon. The friendly staff and perfect mix of old and new items makes Snackfood completely satisfying.
