The Oriental Plaza in Fordsburg

The Oriental Plaza is located in Fordsburg and is the go-to place for the best samoosa’s in Johannesburg. While technically a mall, it does not resemble the large, popular malls dotted around the city. Each and every store is unique and owned by locals selling fabrics, clothing, decor, spices, food and so much more.dominique-in-the-city-oriental-plaza

Heather from 2Summers, in conjunction with the Oriental Plaza management, organised an instameet giving participants special permission to photograph the shopping centre. I just have to say that I did spend most of my time browsing and shopping instead of photographing. It is the season to be shopping, and I still had a few more gifts to buy.  I found beautiful scarves, Kenyan Kikois and a variety of spices.

In my quest to stay away from the overcrowded malls this festive season, the Oriental Plaza is a great alternative. I suggest spending a couple of hours there, meet the store owners, browse, haggle and you will definitely come home with some unique and affordable products.
