"Mama Shops" are local convenience stores in Singapore that is often located under HDB flats. These shops hold sentimental values to residents who live nearby, mainly childhood memories. It's distinct from regular convenience store as the goods are placed compactly and is usually non-air conditioned. Despite so, children love coming to "mama shops" and buy their favourite snacks and games.
