🇺🇸 Davis Diary Day 13 – Exploring Chinese Supermarkets in Sacramento

Drove about 30 minutes from Davis to check out three Chinese supermarkets in South Sacramento. Here’s the breakdown: 🥩 For meat & pantry items: Vinh Phat Supermarket 🌿 For Chinese medicine & snacks: Khan Hing Tong 🥦 For fresh veggies: Wing Wa 🛒 1️⃣ Vinh Phat Supermarket Meat is super fresh and cheaper than Costco! Example: beef tenderloin $5.99/lb, pork ribs $4.19/lb 🥩💥 Wide variety of snacks, drinks, noodles (including Vietnamese pho and Jiangxi rice noodles) Run by a Vietnamese-Chinese family – most products from Vietnam & Taiwan Mostly Cantonese spoken here 🗣️ Best prices among the three! 🌿 2️⃣ Khan Hing Tong Offers Chinese medicine consultations ($25 per visit) + acupuncture/cupping 🧑‍⚕️📿 You can find traditional Chinese medicine and ready-made products like Luosifen, instant noodles, and Hi-Chew! 😄 The owner is from Hunan – a great spot for specialty items you won’t find elsewhere 🥬 3️⃣ Wing Wa Best for fresh vegetables! Their rice is a bit pricey though 🍚💸 Perfect for stocking up on everything from meat to medicine to veggies! Definitely worth the drive from Davis 🚗💨. #UCDavis #StudyInUSA #Sacramento #ChineseSupermarket #ChineseMedicine #DavisCA
