Sun Sing Center

This is a really interesting little shop in Chinatown. It’s not quite like a lot of the other shops I’ve walked into there.
It’s so surreal. If you walk in, you can really tell it wasn’t built to be a store, and then when you get to the back, if you look behind you, there’s this whole balcony filled with stuff from the people selling things there. You can almost feel that this place used to be something different, and imagine the memories that must have been made there. I looked up a little about the history; turns out it used to be a theatre! You can totally tell. All the way in the back is the area where the stage used to be, so when you’re looking at plates and posters you feel like you’re the star of the show.
The place itself is interesting. It’s a little run down looking, and really unofficial. There’s stuff stacked everywhere, and it seems like each grouping is an individual shop. It’s interesting the way it’s structured. I’d have to say the prices are probably better compared to a lot of the other places in Chinatown, since it’s a lot less official looking.
I went back to buy a special type of tea brewer, because it was the only place I’d found it in Chinatown for that price. Well, when I brought it home, part of the handle was broken off. Certainly not worth it for $ 17! I didn’t take it back though, because, Chinatown, I didn’t want to have to argue with someone for half an hour to get under 20 bucks back. I just super glued it.
So, the product quality wasn’t that good, but simply because it’s such a cool interesting place, three stars.
