The entire family made a trip to KLIA early this morning to send off the mil who had a flight to catch. She’ll be away in Hong Kong for two weeks. Sherilyn couldn’t follow us as it was her first day of work as part-time cashier at Barcook Bakery @ Mid Valley.
We stayed with the mil for about an hour and had some light snacks at Costa Coffee. Cass was appalled at the prices of the food at the airport. Hubs paid RM21.60 for a simple tuna croissant and RM6 for a small bottle of drinking water. A bottle of Coke was selling at RM16. She couldn’t believe the price tags she saw. Cass was only 6 and 7 when we travelled to New Zealand and Hong Kong. Now that she’s a grown girl, she checks out everything that she sees at the airport.
After we left the airport, we went to Mitsui Outlet Park to shop for sports shoes. It’s been four years since everyone bought Nike shoes. Hubs used to bring us to the Nike outlet at Pavillion KL to shop for Nike shoes and clothes every Christmas but the pandemic put this yearly practice into a halt. I recently bought a pair of Adidas running shoes but I still find Nike shoes more comfy.
Mitsui Outlet Park (MOP) is a factory outlet shopping mall located 60km from KL and 6km from KLIA and klia2. Advocating a factory outlet concept, MOP offers a myriad of upper-middle to high-end off seasoned brands and products at attractive discounts and not forgetting a Japanese Specialty Store (Japan Avenue), introducing Japanese Art, Culture, Music and Culinary Delights.
In addition to a 30% discount, customers are entitled to an additional 10% discount when they download the Nike app onto their phones.
Sherilyn was obviously very sore that she was left out in this shopping trip and was in a foul mood when she came back from work. But her doting dad promised to bring her to shop for Nike shoes at MOP in two weeks when he fetches her grandma back from the airport!
If you and your family or friends have some branded items to buy, in particular branded sports shoes, I highly recommend making a trip to MOP @ KLIA. It’s also a great place to kill time while waiting for your flight. There are free shuttle buses from KLIA / KLIA2 to MOP. You don’t ever have to wait for seasonal sales to enjoy great discounts anymore as all the stores here boast year-long generous deals. We saved several hundreds of Ringgit on Nike and Adidas shoes.
