About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A neighborhood delivery driver made a routine stop at Hong Kong Supermarket one morning. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd: every crate seemed heavier than usual. Curious, he opened one box and found nothing but tiny packets of salt—tons of them! Turned out, someone had accidentally loaded an entire shipment of seasoning instead of canned goods. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another day in paradise, knowing now why everyone around here always tasted so good.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hong Kong Supermarket. As he unloaded boxes of noodles and cans of pineapple, he noticed something strange: an old lady in traditional Chinese dress was whispering to empty shelves. Curious, the driver leaned closer and heard her softly muttering, ‘Where’s my favorite brand? Why did you run out of my lucky charms?’ Turns out she was just an early shopper who hadn’t yet seen the sign saying ‘Open at 8am.’
3. A few weeks ago, an early-morning shopper noticed something peculiar in the produce section of Hong Kong Supermarket. Among the usual assortment of bananas and apples lay a mysterious box labeled ‘Dragon Fruit Secret Recipe’. Curious neighbors began stopping by every day, hoping to find out what recipe it contained—or if there even was one. One day, a delivery driver accidentally left his lunch—an authentic dragonfruit salad—in the same spot. Soon enough, rumors spread that the secret recipe was actually just a mix of fresh fruit and mint. The mystery unraveled with laughter, but the supermarket gained a new reputation as a place where anything could happen.
4. At midnight, while stocking shelves, a young employee overheard a customer whisper, ‘I bet they sell more than just groceries here.’ Curious, the kid pretended to restock boxes of ramen, surreptitiously glancing around. Suddenly, an old lady approached the aisle and asked softly, 'Do you have any mooncakes left?' Turns out, Hong Kong Supermarket had a secret stash for special customers after hours.
