I finally made it to the store I’ve wanted to go for a while. Every time my friends mentioned the name “CHIC MART” in Kemang and I used to say I had not been there yet, and then they would say in astonishment “Kaho, you haven’t been to Chic Mart yet? Oh, you have to go!” Now I understand why I got that reaction.
When I visited Chic Mart in Kemang, I walked up to one of the employees and asked if I could speak with the store manager to ask about taking photos inside the store. The manager, Vicky, came out and was very welcoming to my inquiry. I gave her my contact information including my Chuzai Living blog address. Later she walked up to me when I was basically bending over to take some close up photos of some items (I was a bit embarrassed!) to tell me that she checked out my blog and gave me very sweet comments about it. She said that she was looking forward to the post about Chic Mart. It was very encouraging to me.

Below two photos show the most part of the first floor of Chic Mart. The floor is packed full of goodies. If you like shopping, I guarantee you that you will feel like a kid in a candy store.
Now, if I tell you that this is not all, you might want to say how could you possibly have more items at Chic Mart after seeing so many! Right? By the way, what I covered on the first floor is not even half of what you see at Chic Mart. Here are stairs that will lead to the upstairs where you’ll see more beautiful items displayed all over the floor. Now this floor will make you worry that your wallet will be hemorrhaging money. Too much temptation.
These are the most beautiful artificial flowers I’ve found so far. Don’t you think they look real? Even in person, I thought they were very well made and looked real. When I was there last time, I didn’t get to the flower section to shop, so I will have to go back to the store to buy some flowers.
I hope you enjoyed the visual tour of Chic Mart.

Good heavens…. what an amazing store…I thought it would never end! So much colour, and fun, and beautiful art. We have a store quite similar to that where I live (they import much of their stock), but about a quarter of the size I think!
Thanks for linking up this amazing post over on my blog!
