"Ginkgo Leaf is a special store. Housed in a beautiful terraced house on Queen Street in Woollahra, it is a space that welcomes you as soon as you walk through the door. Yew Kong has carefully curated each item in his store. Each piece has a story and is beautifully handcrafted. I love visiting the store - its one of my favourite places to buy presents for loved ones."

"A visit to Gingko Leaf is always an ethereal, almost a spiritual experience - to walk through and appreciate the beautifully curated collection of rare and unusual Japanese kitchen and bathroom objects, as well as handcrafted rugs. Each piece has been carefully chosen and I do not think Gingko Leaf has an equivalent shop anywhere, let alone in Sydney.
I have never failed to find that special gift and to be introduced to each object by the very refined Yew Kong Tham is a wonderful and enjoyable experience."
