Wang Wang is a fantastic Chinese supermarket located on Bold Street. It's considerably smaller than the other shop of this type that I have reviewed, Chung Wah, but sometimes this is actually better, depending on what you're shopping for.
I use Wang Wang to quickly pick up small items that I'm running out of, rather than a big weekly shop and for this it is just PERFECT.
Wang Wang stocks similar items to Chung Wah with a huge range of noodles, rice, sauces, stocks and even fresh fruit and vegetables. They have items from all around Asia, not just China, so you can find Japanese and Korean items here too. Look out for the Japanese Okonomiyaki sauce! They also have the famous Bulldog sauce.
They have a very large range of teas and sodas as well. Definitely try the Peach Aloe Vera drink - it's both healthy AND delicious! Such an interesting texture to the aloe gel.
As with Chung Wah, Wang Wang stocks a range of mochi as well. Mochi are the best things on the planet, I could eat them all day, every day.
Overall, Wang Wang is a fantastic supermarket that stocks a large range of Asian items. Don't be fooled by the size either: it may look small from the outside but they have got a LOT of stock in this small space.
Wang Wang is an excellent shop to buy your food and is one of the true highlights of both the city and of Bold Street. read more
