Perhaps I missed the point. Perhaps I need to increase my flow before I step foot in here again…read more Perhaps, when I hear that a place is a "mecca" for gourmet foodies; a palace containing an abundance of spices, I believe I'm about to set foot into a shop that has at least one wall lined with spices. No, dear friends, this was not the case. Instead, i walked into a practically empty (as is the "less is more" style, I suppose) shop, featuring essentially one brand per genre of cookware (ie. one brand of knives, one brand of kitchen gadgets, one brand of dish ware, silverware, you get the point). Their selection of books was the only standout aspect of Le Sanctuaire for me, lining a few shelves in the back -- not really a redeeming factor, if you ask me. No worries though, because I am on the hunt for obscure spices that folks have been claiming I would definitely be able to find in this "sanctuary". Well, shocker, the "less is more" goes for their spices as well. I was unable to find one obscure spice that I was searching for. Not only that, but they carry only one brand of spices, all prepackaged, all outrageously priced, and rather underwhelming to boot. Am I disappointed? Yeah, you could say that.

In the back of the store there is a wide variety of affordable housewares, kitchenwares, folding tables and chairs, throw rugs, picture frames and other stuff you may need around your home. There are also brooms, mops, dishes, utensils and cleaning supplies on display in front of the store. Also, this store is located in a quieter part of China Town.

Feng Cai Trading is a couple blocks outside the stockton street tunnel and as such, it is the last Chinese "kitchen stuff store" you will see if you head south. There are other kitchen stores, but they are all North about a mile - so this is the place to go unless you want to hoof it across Chinatown. Here are things I like from these stores: o cheap kitchen knives - sharpen easily - though don't hold the edge so well o mortar and pestle for grinding spices o brooms o stone cooking pots for rice or clay pot cooking o spatulas, ladles, pastry knives If you go in, it's difficult not to find something you need or want - and the prices are reasonable.

This store carries a very cute Hello Kitty alarm clock that not only does it light up the wings and its magic stick, it also has tons of cute songs to wake you up. And it comes in blue and pink. The local Asian store carries a variety of kitchen and bath items, hot water bottles, as well as some kitchen appliances such as rice cookers. This shop is a bit away from the main strip of shops on Broadway and it's a great place to pick up everything that you need to make your place sparkling clean.

Walking in can definitely feel overwhelming at first because the shop is packed wall to wall with kitchen tools and woks in all different sizes and styles. If you're not sure what you're looking for, I highly recommend asking for help. Tane, the older woman who works there, is definitely a character. She's very blunt, which caught me off guard at first, but I quickly realized it's just her personality. Having worked in a bank in a past life and dealt with all kinds of people, I didn't take it personally. Honestly, it felt like she was testing whether you actually know what you're doing in the kitchen. I even overheard her being very direct with someone else who clearly didn't, which was kind of interesting to witness. Once we got talking, we ended up having a great conversation about woks and cooking in general. She really knows her stuff. I left with a wok and a few other items, and since I spent a decent amount, she even threw in some freebies, which was a nice surprise. Overall, the whole visit was an experience in the best way. If you're looking for high-quality, special woks and don't mind a little personality, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

Get this -- they actually recommended I buy one of the appliance I am trying to procure at AA Kitchen from Costco instead!!! The sales person was looking online to give us the best price on each appliance on my list. However, they cannot match the holiday discount Costco was providing on this one specific appliance on my shopping list! If this is not integrity, I don't know how you define your world. I know other people wrote of them being not very responsiveness. I had a few days playing phone tag with them, too. But, we are near holiday season. We just drove up with our list, sat down, and worked with them in the shop. TL/DR: if you are looking to support a honest, hard working local small business, take your appliance shopping list to AA Kitchen first!

There were so many things I wanted to buy, but when it got right down to it I kept thinking it would be cool for someone else, but I wasn't sure they'd enjoy it as much as we would. LOL! In the end we ended up getting a fantastically-scented Tisane soy candle called One Rainy Wish. My happy rainy day wish is that I bought 2 or 3 instead of just the one so we'll be sure to return!
