T LA is one of my favourite shops in China Town, It’s my last bastion of hope when buying birthday presents for friends, It’s an oriental bric a brac shop, selling hello kitty, jolly buddhas, parasols, chinese music and other colourful and exciting items. The staff are always very friendly and it smells lovely!(but it does!) I think people overlook this area for shopping and head to Market Street, it’s a pity!

From the crass and tacky to gorgeous chinese fabrics, T. La Arts & Crafts Centre is the place for Asian crafts and gifts. You can pick up all manner of knick knacks from lucky charms, fireworks, wind chimes and crockery, all in distinctive Chinese patterns. The atmosphere is loud and vibrant and a good place for some chai and a chat with the locals.
