One of my favorite things to buy at Woo Chee Chong were the melon cakes made by Great Eastern Bakery in San Francisco. The mung bean hopia by Huy Ky Bakery is almost as good.
It’s nice there are still mom and pop supermarkets in the age of Walmart. I buy stuff here instead of the chain stores when I’m in the area. I appreciate there are vestiges of my childhood still standing.

This was a delightful read, and pictures great as always. We have this kind of a market here in Chicago on Argyle street. This one had all kinds of exotic fruits ( like Duran fruit that I haven’t seen before. Great read, I cannot wait to see more photos, and read more from you guys
Thanks! We like exploring places off the beaten path. I’m looking forward to when lychee are in season again. 🙂
? Thanks Marta!
I saw fresh lychee at Hmart Soo – they were pre packaged though but they were fresh. By the strawberry section (close to food court) –
Thanks for the info Faye! Maybe I’ll take a long lunch today…
I went to Hmart and they don’t have lychee today. Produce guys didn’t know when they would get more.
Wonder when the lychee will be in season again?
We can check Ranch 99 tomorrow.
