This is indeed another of my favourite hangout... I mean don't you just love walking the departmental stores.. They display an array of goods especially chosen to suit your needs from your head to your toes all the way into your tummy and your bed where you spend 1/3 of your life snuggling in...
I always love the comprehensive list of items Tangs have and each items comes in different shades of colours with so many designs, brands, materials and sizes to choose from. I particularly love to walk the bag section... Which is the first section you enter.. there you can see the helpful staffs waiting to serve you.. I mean.. its difficult to find helpful staffs in departmental stores... They are always hiding somewhere talking or resting.. I mean its tough standing all day but isn't it the goal of the job to serve your customers till they happily leave the store?
Anyway, back to the Bags... They carry a good number of brands and while walking the colourful bag section you could see the brightly lit skin care and perfume section. Here you can find all sorts of international brands in which you could lavishly try the scents till you find one of your delight. Walking on you can find the man's sections with assortments of leather belts, ties and shoes with various Macho Designs as well as young and colourful young Punks dressing as well as travel bags of all sizes to suit all your travel needs. The watch section i particularly enjoy browsing through the different brands and shiny glass cases.
Upstairs you can find kitchen appliances, accessories as well as bedding needs... I particular like the fact that theres a mini honey corner where you can buy all sorts of products to please your HONEY as well as a mini chinese medicated tea shop to soothe the heatiness...
Also check out the Lifestyle section where they display these crystal clear audio CDs of old fashioned songs... Wo de bu dao ni de ai qing......
Also.. It pays to be a member as they do have closed door sales and on top of the sales items, you do get rebates up to 12% on all your purchase. Best of it all... Even if you redeem your tangs dollars you could still get rebate on the balance you paid.. Its a great place to go with savings out of my imagination...
See you there at Tangs today SHOPPER BABEs!!!

i think departmental stores like tangs often get misconceived to be very "auntie-ish" or "taitai-ish". imho, tangs is actually quite different from robinsons and metro etc, and in fact offer quite an exciting range of stuffs suitable even for youths!
the vivo branch may not boast as many collections as its orchard counterpart, but i particularly like how it feels spacious and languid, especially on weekday afternoons. it is definitely a place where i can shop around leisurely without suffering from crowds.

Between the orchard counterpart, I would prefer to go to this because this one is near my working place and its generally less crowded as compared to the orchard one ( even when there is a discount going on).
Besides the usual offerings they have at the beauty counter, I m quite impressed with their retro section they have at level 2. The retro section carries vintage toys/cultery/decorative items and the piped music is usually some 30s 40s oldies to match the nostalgic feel. However from a business point of view, I reckon this idea may not sustain too long as the things being sold there tends to be a bit less practical.
I also like their beauty counter at level 1 because the layout is more spacious than the orchard outlet. No more collusion with other shoppers! I also get more 1 -1 time with the sale staff as the shopfront is less crowded and yet the selection is as good as the offerings at Orchard ( except I think they dun have "Benefit" at VIVO?).
A gd alternative in my opinion.
