Hear intriguing stories from Mr Lin as he recounts the humble days of his business when it first started out as a stall along Smith Street. Step into the nostalgia of the past as you discover the evolving styles of pyjamas through the generations, and who knows, you might even have the chance to slip into a pair!
Meet Your Host
Mr and Mrs Lim, affectionately known as Uncle Lim and Auntie Lim, have run Sun Panda Pyjamas for over 65 years. Originally selling their cosy pyjamas along Smith Street, the Lims have been part of the vibrant street stalls and markets. They even designed their own unique pyjama styles during that time. Today, you can still find Uncle Lim and Auntie Lim at Sun Panda Pyjamas, welcoming customers with their friendly and warm personalities.
