Bro break mentioned a laundry shop where you can take your clothes to if you don't want the hotel to wash for you. Should be cheaper. Not sure if this is the shop. This is just across the road.
There are also a few confectionery near the area. I must say you must try them. Somehow, their taste is much better than those you find in SG. I especially like the sugary strudel with peanut paste filling. Solid. RMB2 for one. I ate one in the morning and I can tahan all the way to 1pm.
