CNY Day 3 初三 Mint Museum Of Toys
初三俗稱赤口，不宜拜年
Visited The Mint Museum of Toys with 小馬哥. Housed in a contemporary five-storey building is Mint (Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys) Museum of Toys is the world’s first purpose-built toy museum. Over 50,000 toy collection from 25 countries mainly exhibit toys from 50's to the 70's.
Always wanted to go but the admission charges made me start thinking ... so happy that we went and received a 30% discount using OCBC credit card ♥ The tickets are very cute too right?
Here we go ... Starting from Level 5 walking our way down. I was really fascinated by huge collection of toys in the museum (I have taken around 150 photos in a museum of 5 storey, that's alot!)
Level 4 are familiar characters. ♥My favourite Tintin, Tom & Jerry, Flintstones, Ultraman, Popeye, Batman & Robin, Astron Boy, Superman♥
Ultraman as tall as 小馬哥 :)
Childhood favourites at Level 3. My favourite too .. Vintage Teddy Bears, Mickey & Minnie, Snow White, Betty Boo, Felix The Cats, Bonzo The Dog.
I used to draw hopscotch on the cement floor with chalk and now the kids can play on the hopscotch carpet instead. 
小馬哥already relaxing on the couch while I am still browsing through and busy taking photos. This level is most special with the glass floor at the end of the room (after the couch), whereby you can stand on or just look down to see the ground floor of the museum. I am so afraid to stand on it.
Final collectables at Level 2. There are Beatles, vintage matchbox cars, snakes and ladder, colorful marbles, toys that I played when I was a kid. 
After the end of exhibits, part of the fun was shopping in Mint Shop. I only bought 4 bookmarks and they also comes in a set. 小馬哥bought the flying saucer and the blue and green paratrooper, he was saying 1 for himself, 1 for future 小baby and so I also choose 1 pink colour for myself (Family of 3). I think it be diffcult to buy and see future kids playing with my childhood toys.
Is really unique that the Mint Cafe is "underground". Though the cafe is small and near to the bar/kitchen but there is no unpleasant smell. The placemat used were so vintage and comes in a few designs. The colorful walls and display of old toys in the cafe made this place really special.
老夫子(Old Master Q) playing chess with 大蕃薯 (Big Potato) and dating Miss Chan in Mint Cafe. Mickey Mouse laughing at 小馬哥. Menu also very cute ♥
Here comes the food .. Just Wings at $9.80 and Hawaiian Pizza at $16.00. The chicken wing with sambal chilli is 小馬哥and my favourite food combination now (is my first time taking sambal chilli). With the 15% discount using credit card, the price is still affordable. If you visit the museum, maybe you will also receive a $5 meal voucher from them.
小馬哥always say I am still a kid at heart and true enough I really enjoy myself today and had tons of fun to be surrounded by so many toys (How I wish all the toys belong to me). Though the toys in the museum are old but they are in a well kept condition. So i going to start searching the storeroom for my old toy and who knows maybe it could fetch a very high price. Mint cafe is definitely a good quiet place to chill, I am going back for my sambal chilli soon ♥
