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.

#Mangosteens from #Chinatown 
I love them. Rarely buy because they aren't cheap here.
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.
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
San Francisco, Calif. Apr. 1942. People in front of a store having a close-out sale, prior to the evacuation of the proprietor, of Japanese ancestry. The store is located on Grant Avenue in Chinatown. The evacuees will be housed in a War Relocation Authority center for the duration of the war

Als Schiffskoch kam Chong Tin Lam nach #Hamburg wo er im einstigen #Chinatown von #StPauli ein Restaurant betrieb.
Bei der "Chinesenaktion" wurde er von der Gestapo erst auf die Davidwache dann ins KZ Fuhlsbüttel verschleppt, gefoltert & sein Laden zerstört.

![The image depicts a scene from an early 20th-century street in Chinatown, specifically labeled as "A Street in Chinatown" with the Detroit Photographic Company's label indicating it was printed or produced by them. The photograph features an individual standing at what appears to be a payphone booth on a sidewalk next to tall buildings that have multiple floors and numerous windows reflecting sunlight.
The architecture of the buildings is indicative of early 20th-century commercial structures, possibly businesses catering to Chinese American residents, given their presence in Chinatown. Each building has signage with East Asian characters written vertically along its façade, which could represent shop names or advertisements relevant at that time.
A hanging lantern and a bench can also be seen beside the payphone booth where an individual is standing. The person appears male wearing what looks like period-appropriate clothing including a coat, trousers, and possibly a hat with a brimmed cap visible on his head, which could suggest he was dressed in typical American working-class attire of that era.

an outstanding #Chicago based #artist" and interviewed me all the way back in January (I remember we wished each other a Happy #Chinese New Year!). She then pitched her #story to the HuffPost #culture team in March... and not only did their editorial team say yes, but the editor also said she'd love to include me as a Culture Shifter!
- #Photographer Taylor Glascock. Taylor took these #photos of me in #Chinatown on a brisk (to say the least!) but bright March afternoon.
