This place is ten steps from Arc de Triomf station, which is easy for old slow people like me. There are two doors: an old review said the writer preferred to use the right-hand door by the butcher shop. But since then, the business has closed the right-hand set and you have to wend your way through the whole place to get to the butcher.
This business has taken over two joined storefronts, so the interior floor plan is a little complicated. But if you can't find something, they are happy to help. For example: I was out of Sichuan peppercorns, but could not find them in the store (it is chockablock and crammed with goods). I asked and the guy produced the red ones in seconds. Then I asked about the green ones, which I had NEVER been able to find. I went home with both kinds. They have all the sauces and dried goods and working butchers and even a big kitchenware section.
If you know your Chinese food, here is where you stock your pantry. As always, props to Chef Rhoda Yee for teaching me how to use all these wonderful foods. read more
