\nBefore the internet, mahjong sets were widely sold at Fu Lu Shou Complex , with many of the uncles there selling traditional sets imported from China. If you\u2019re looking for a dedicated Mahjong store, you can check out Tong Cheong (Soon Kee) Trading that\u2019s located in City Plaza; prices are reasonable and there\u2019s a wide range of tiles you can choose from.

\nOther good mahjong sets are the ones from alcohol brands; they are given out as gifts with purchase and you just need to look out for them in supermarkets the weeks leading up to Chinese New Year. For example, these are Tiger Beer and Guinness Mahjong sets that were given out as promotional items in recent years. Above: Tiger Beer (from 2017 ) and Guinness Mahjong sets given out as gifts with purchase or prizes.
\nA good Mahjong set can last an entire lifetime (if you don\u2019t lose any of the pieces), and you really only need one set in the household. If you want to invest in a collectible that stays true to the game\u2019s values, get on the pre-order list for Singapore Airline\u2019s limited edition Mahjong set. It launched late last year on KrisShop but promptly sold out.
\nThe unique tiles feature the airline\u2019s signature batik motif and flight-related elements. Delivery is only from April 2021 onwards and it\u2019s limited to one set per customer. Above: The Bamboo suit reflects the seat map, while the first bamboo tile is depicted by the Singapore Airlines logo. As for the design of the circles, they are inspired by aircraft engines. Above: The \u767d\u677f (b\u00e1i ban) tile is the aircraft window! Above: The signature batik motif is shown on the back on the tiles. Above: The chips also feature the famous batik motif.

\nIf you just want to bio the most chio looking Mahjong sets, here are the ridiculous ones we\u2019ll never own: Brunello Cucinelli Wood Mahjong Set Above: Brunello Cucinelli wood Mahjong Set, $16,190, from FARFETCH . This is a full walnut wood set in pleasing, neutral hues. The tiles are all hand-engraved, while the wooden dice are handmade too. Tiffany&Co. Mahjong Set Above: Tiffany&Co. Mahjong Set, US$15,000, from TIFFANY.COM . With this set, you\u2019re paying for the iconic Tiffany Blue box (in full leather, of course) and dice made of sterling silver. Herm\u00e8s Helios Mahjong Set Above: Herm\u00e8s Helios Mahjong set, US$40,400, from HERMES.COM . The tiles are made of solid palissander wood and printed Swift calfskin. ONE LAST THING\u2026
\nZouk also has (or shall I say, had) a Mahjong set. It was available on its official Shopee store, and is sold out. No news about whether they\u2019ll restock but you never know, right? Especially when it retails at $500 and there\u2019s money to be made.<\/p>\n
