Meet Your Host
Goh Choon Hock, a passionate collector of antique figurines, opened a shop in Chinatown Complex to share his hobby with others. Inspired by a close friend who collected figurines, Choon Hock started his own collection and gradually expanded it by purchasing figurines during their overseas trips. As his collection grew, his wife expressed concern about the amount of figurines at home, prompting Choon Hock to rent a shop after his retirement to sell his impressive variety of figurines, which includes Buddha statues and adorable panda ornaments.
