Luoho Commercial Building is right over the border from Hong Kong. It is comprised of a bewildering maze of shops, restaurants and massage parlors. It’s massive, each of the six floors at least the size of of an American football field.
It’s been some 20 years since my last visit. Then, it was floor to rafters jam packed with purveyors of Polo Ralph Lauren, LV, Zippo, Burberry…all the aspirational luxury brands of the day. Today, no obvious counterfeit goods were on open display. But rest assured. They are discreetly available. Don’t ask me how I know. ![]()
We had a light lunch at the Arcadia Restaurant on the sixth floor. Steamed Whole Fish topped with Schezuan Peppercorn, mala city! Egg White Scallop Fried Rice. Hit the spot.
Couldn’t resist some Dan Tat from the department store next door. 4 tarts for 10 ¥ (usd$1.40). Not bad.
