Opinion: Kam Fung Gift Shop, a treasured North Park staple, specializes in plants and posterity [Opinion]
Google describes it as a “Cozy shop stocked with feng shui supplies, Buddha statues, dragon figurines, cloisonne vases & more.” The best part of the “& more” is the owner and lone employee, Simon Wong. I have been coming here for years, so I recently went back to ask him if I could write a profile on him and his business. He nodded yes and thoughtfully asked me to take a seat.Six years ago, when I first moved to the neighborhood, I happened upon his shop.
There are few stores like his around, and his inventory is as unique as they come. During our most recent conversation, he explained that he is most known for his feng shui items — vases, bamboos and figurines that help promote health and happiness. Feng shui means “wind-water,” he told me. Having the right flow of energy can impact your health, luck and love life. It can also ward off bad energy and bring good fortune.
Friendly and even-keeled, he opens the shop each day around 1 p.m. after he takes care of his wife, who is disabled. After cooking and cleaning, he walks over to the shop from his home in Cherokee Point. He and his wife have two children, a son and a daughter who are twins, both in college.
