Welcome to

Donki

Popular Japanese discount

chain Don Don Donki opened

its first Southeast Asian outlet last

week at Orchard Central, and —

wait for it — it’ll make shopping at

Orchard Road great again with its

affordable prices and vast array

of products. It’s also open round

the clock daily. Yes, it’s 24 hours,

people. So... the Japanese Mustafa,

anyone?

Some folks may know the

store as Don Quijote in its native

Japan (its parent company runs

364 stores there). It is called Don

Don Donki here (after the shop’s

earworm jingle) ’cos there is already

a Spanish restaurant on Dempsey

Hill claiming the Don Quijote name.

This double-storey, 1,397sqm store

at Orchard Central’s basement

features a supermarket selling

fresh food and packaged snacks

on the first level, and assorted

goods such as cosmetics, toys
