The old lady at the Chinatown grocer I go to (that carries some stuff I like that other shops don’t), always has a 50 first dates thing with me. Every time I go she forgets who I am, speaks Cantonese to me, I switch to Chiu Chow (her native language), she asks me again and again: how old am I, how long I’ve been here, where do I work
This has been happening for the last 7 years.
Things I like at her shop (Sun Kau Shing Co on Stocktown):
- Doll Lee original and pandan Kaya (brown and green ones)
- Many types of soy sauce you don’t get elsewhere
- glutinous rice balls
- fresh egg noodles at the counter
- Malaysian instant coffee (Chek Hup brand)
- Old Bei Jing Yogurt (tastes like a malai lassi)
- Cantonese canned fermented soy beans and dace (a fish). This is a staple in a lot of home cooking
And a pretty shop cat

You can trust bodega cat.
