Planning a Chinese New Year feast at home with the family?
If you’re cooking at home – we highly recommend shopping at Wemart. We have been getting all our chinese groceries from there – that’s all your chinese leaf vegetables, chinese sauces, noodles, frozen fishballs and so much more.
Other than that – look at Organic Foods and Cafe as well for fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, and especially if you need pork for your CNY feast. Thinking of Roast Pork (sau rou 烧肉 ), or Chinese BBQ Pork (char sao 叉烧)? Get your pork belly, pork tenderloin, pork ribs – all from Organic Foods and Cafe. We also highly recommend getting your chicken bones from Organic Foods as well – if you’re planning to make soup, for your CNY Feast.
