And I came across this "黑店/Black Shop" some time ago. What a name! This photo was sometime back, in December 2006. Somewhere in Georgetown, Penang on Sunday morning (hence the shop was closed). Now I cannot remember the exact location of the shop liao... I wonder what the shop sells... :P

"Black Shop"
The 黑店 or "Black Shop" in Kung Fu Martial Art Chinese Novels (武侠小说) are synonym with shop owners that cheat customer's $$$$ :D

meimei, the original Black shop not only rob you of your money
They will have drugs into your tea / liquor
Once you lost consciousness, you are pretty unlikely to see another sunrise
The black shop in 武侠小说 not only cheat ppl's money but also kill people's meat to make buns. Eeee.....
ReplyDeleteChen, why not venture into this place and do an investigative feature/blogpost? Well if you don't show yourself online over the next few days we'll know what to tell the cops LOL
