Tucked away on the south side of Peng Chau's harbour, the small, yellow-gated antique store, which is named after the days it is open – Saturday and Sunday – sells everything from vintage collectables to consigned local handicrafts.
The young owners, Kit and June, moved to Peng Chau from the city after falling in love with the island's tranquility and slow lifestyle. They converted the front of their home to an antique store, selling flea market treasures collected from trips around the world, as well as local handicrafts they discovered around town. Curious passersby can easily spend hours exploring interesting items such as toy sewing machines from England, soaps made out of mandarin, and vintage medicine boxes from Japan.
Apart from being an antique shop, Sun Sat Store is also a cafe, offering simple coffee, green tea, toast, and cha guo – a sweet Cantonese tea cake – made at Peng Chau's local bakery, as well as second-hand books for customers to enjoy with their food. So, if you're planning a trip to the quaint little island anytime soon, we highly recommend you swing by and browse the hidden gems on offer. You can also keep up to date with the store on Facebook and Instagram, where Kit and June regularly post (in Cantonese) about their latest vintage offerings as well as musings on Peng Chau life.
Sun Sat Store, 27 Wing Hing Street, Peng Chau, (+852) 2661 2761

Born and raised in Hong Kong to expat parents, Sarah grew up as your typical third-culture kid, caught between two worlds. As someone who is nosy (or just curious) and loves the written word, there was never any other career that appealed to her as much as journalism. When she’s not busy on her mission to find the line between not enough coffee and too much coffee, you can find her exploring the city or getting stuck in a good book.
