I live in Hong Kong and go to this street almost every weekend. You missed out on an amazing arrowana and sting Ray store, just one staircase over from David Chow. Also check out crystal shrimps next time. The owner flies to Japan and hand selects the best batch of fresh water shrimp selling berried females at like 4,000hkd+... There is so much more crazy shit to see in this street from tucan birds to rare reptiles, chameleons and a store that recently brought in a boat load of gulper cat fish. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
