Toronto China Town

The heart of Toronto's China Town is located at Spadina Avenue / Dundas Street West.  I've been to this area for many times but this is my first time taking pictures here.  Not only finding Chinese stuff here, you can also find Vietnam stuff here!


 Installing huge signs like this outside of their stores is a common practise in most Chinese culture.

Traditional Chinese toy which it's pretty hard to find nowadays. For $1.50 those wooden craft chicken can keep you busy for the whole day - I wish I had one of these stuff when I was a kid!

 Exotic fruits - they are mostly imported from South Asia.

 A shot at the Chinatown #2.

 Freshly made dumplings.

Mango~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Different grades of dried shrimps.  The bigger the shrimp size, the more expensive it is.

 Typical Vietnam food store.

Don't know what this is but it looks good.  Fishcake mochi sandwich??


 Step 1: prepare the dough for the steam buns.


Step 2: flatten the dough and scope some meat in the middle of the dough.

Step 3: wrap it up.

Done!!

Lychee going almost $8/lb!

 They keep quite a lot of dried stocks here.

 Beans, you can find the most popular beans here.

 Tones of  Chinese dried goodies.

 Getting close to the Chinatown at East York.

A truck fully loaded with veggie sprouts.


Assorted plants, lots of plants that you can choose from.


 Looks like fantail gold fish to me.

 Mixed gourami.

 These are the piranhas - they swim too fast and I can't shoot them...



 These houses look old, but they worth over half a mil!


 New style of the post box.
