What does tiangge actually mean?--I've read different definitions of tiangge on the internet and I realized I do not know the real meaning of it. *teehee*. But for me, tiangge is a group of stalls whether it's in the building or sometimes on the sidewalk that sells dry goods. Nowadays, tiangge clothes are also very common in online shops, specially on Facebook. They are even cheaper if you buy online because they don't pay tax, shop rentals and they buy in bulk. According to Wikipedia (my college professors, forgive me for using Wikipedia as a source) tiangge is similar to Swap Meet but I disagree with that. Swap Meet is Ukay-ukay / Wag-wag in the Philippines. In Tiangge, you can buy cheap, brand new, Asian dry goods but with very low quality. While in Ukay-ukay, you can buy used, imported, most of the time good quality dry goods.
Anyway, let me answer the question Why I don't buy Clothes in Tiangge. I don't buy in Tiangge because they have small sizes *teehee*. Actually, I enjoy walking along the tianggian because I see many cute stuffs specially clothes but they have small sizes since it's made in Asia. Asian are not as curvy as those who are from the other continent. The biggest size from changge is like small size from US/UK clothes. My size is Medium if I buy high-end brands or any US/UK brand but in tiangge, my size is already too big that they do not have a size anymore. If you ask them if they have L (large) size, they would say "Semi-Large lang po" (semi-large only). I didn't know there is such size as semi-large. Lol!! Whatevs!
Tiangge clothes are fun to look at. They are cute and very cheap. But if you don't wanna see the clothes you bought from different people you meet anywhere in the Philippines and to see damages after wearing them a few times, tiangge clothes are not for you.
I cannot provide photos of tiangge but you can find them in google.com lol.
