2010. When I played a scarface #Asian mafia boss lady on a horror film short production. Filmed at the old Hung Fat #kungfu club in Chinatown. Gentrification got their longtime, oldest kungfu association in BC, evicted a few years ago.

Gloria Tsoi, pictured with me, owns & runs the kung-fu club - passed down from ancestors. We've been friends since the 90s.

Buying things in cash from Chinatown grocers is quite a bit cheaper than buying from the online Asian grocer I use.

Something that costs $9.99 online is $8.50. I can also try different new restaurants as they open. Fave recent new Chinatown spot is Rice Roll Express which has good freshly made cheung fan. Saw a new takeout dimsum spot today that looks better than the one TikTok tells people to go to.

My Chinatown strategy is, if I see a large number of old Chinese aunties in line, I stand in it and get what they get.

It’s never let me down

I also prefer Chinatown to the west side Chinese grocers. It’s just more density of cool things to see.
