Even with the pay parking, annoying dt traffic, I have become a fan of Tap Phong. I had enquired via email regarding fushia Chinese teacups and received a response very promptly.
The place was huge...I think my mom or any house owner would love to browse around. The prices were excellent as well. They really had everything you'd need in the kitchen. Tap Phong also had a section for 'dead ppl'. The things you burn for the dead, etc. (it's a Chinese thing). I even found some mini Chinese teacups and thought omggggg how cute!!! But they are in the 'death' section... I guess it's meant for the ancesters and not drinking :)
I was able to find a few Chinese teasets. They were SOOOO FRUGAL :D The best set was the gold & white dragon & phoenix ($26.99). The traditional fushia longevity set was $19.99 (good price but not that vibrant in colour).
I ended up purchasing eight $ 1 fushia teacups for my Chinese tea ceremony. Hoping my bms will break these instead of my real set if they happen to be rushing about. Can't get over how they are only $ 1. The cheapest I found uptown was $ 1.99.
I will definitely come back here again !
