Khiam Teck Party - 265 Holland Ave

Few cheap items for such a big floor area. Poor service experience, unfriendly owner.

Traditional shop selling party toys/decoration, birthday balloon, mid-autumn lantern, halloween costumes, etc

Low quality balloons. Deflated after 1 night. Adding on to the reply: I bought gold FOIL balloons.

Super overpriced. They bought a 500yard ribbon from their supplier at $2.90, and they charged me 20 bucks for it?! Even online at most $5?! I needed it urgently so I paid for it. Seriously, the math is completely off man.

This is a vanishing commodity in Singapore. A traditional general store that sells party supplies and stationery. A family-owned business that’s changed with the times. They used to carry Chinese medicine and then did photo and film processing. Just before festive seasons, especially before the Lantern Festival is a good time to visit, the store front bedecked with all kinds of traditional bamboo and cellophane lanterns for sale.

It was my mother's 80th birthday and we wanted to decorate the home party with some helium balloons. Hence, I went to Khiam Teck Party and bought two number balloons. They were huge and were in a pretty rose-gold colour. The aunty at the stall was friendly and helpful and told me that it will cost $25 each. My mum loved them and it brightened up the party. Three days have past and mum said that the balloons are still up and inflated! Thank you Khiam Teck for the lovely balloons!

Loved retro shops like these and they are a vanishing trade, so I walked in with my 3 yo to support local businesses like these. The old uncle was extreme unfriendly the moment we walked in but I attributed it to perhaps a gruff personality so I ignored. He then proceeded to take photos of me and my daughter. I ignored the first time, perhaps someone had stolen from him before. The second time he did it I asked him about it, this was when he raised his voice at us. He said this is his shop and he can do whatever he wants, and secondly, people steal from him so he wants to take photos of people coming in, and lastly he hates it when people enter his store but don’t buy anything. Basically being a total gangster towards us for totally no reason. My daughter almost started to cry so we left. Have not bought from him and will definitely not support his store anymore. Will not recommend anyone to even browse because he faults you for browsing.

A shop where you can find party needs. Saw lots of lantern as is near mid autumn mooncake festival. It reminds me of the olden time fetching lanterns and playing with candles when young. Store located next to Holland mrt station and besides citibank.
