About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier: ‘Why does Dalat Supermarket always run out of bananas just when I’m in a banana mood?’ The cashier smiled and whispered back, ‘Because, sir, our supplier knows your banana cravings better than you do.’ The next day, there was indeed a crate full of bananas waiting for him.

2. One day, an elderly lady shopping alone heard over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, everyone—we’re temporarily out of patience. Please be patient.’ The old lady smiled and thought, 'Finally!' Then she turned around and whispered to her empty cart, 'We’ll see who's patient now.' Later that evening, a delivery driver joked to his neighbor, 'I bet Grandma Dalat is still laughing about it.'

3. One day, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed something strange on Dalat Supermarket’s sign: ‘Discounts for shoppers who can balance on one leg.’ Curious, she tried it and found herself laughing as she wobbled like a newborn calf. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was showing up to test their balance for discounts. The manager, amused but not wanting to discourage customers, quietly adjusted the sign to read: 'Balance on one leg, get two bananas free.'

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside Dalat Supermarket's loading bay. Curious, he peered out and saw a neighbor frantically trying to herd six adorable ducks into his car. Turns out, they had escaped from a local farm and were making their way home through the back streets of Dalat. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking: ‘Another day, another adventure in Dalat Supermarket’s loading bay.’
