What are vancouver's New Year's goods? In search of the most traditional Cantonese-style New Year goods, today we went to Victoria Dr. The oldest Chinese supermarket meeting area at the junction of East 41st Street.
Vancouver's urban structure is somewhat similar to Beijing's, of course, the difference in size is not on the same level. However, both are relatively well-regulated and boxy urban planning, so that I, a person with a very poor sense of direction, do not turn, and when walking in Vancouver, I can distinguish between east and west, south and north! The city's east and west are on the axis of 41st Street near us, the north and south are on the main route of Granville Street on our side, and the dividing line between East and West of Vancouver is said to be in Main St., but I actually observed the street signs and found that the change of street signs was in Ontario St. (Ontario Street).
Victoria Dr. It is vancouver's earliest settlement of immigrants, and it is mainly Guangdong and Hong Kong immigrants, so far the supermarkets along the street speak Cantonese, and most of them sell very traditional brands that are estimated to have disappeared Chinese mainland. I personally love the very traditional and well-stocked goods on this street, especially its traditional pastries and roasted pork. Before the epidemic, I heard that the Chinese in Seattle, which is far away in the United States, will drive 2-3 hours of cars across the border to taste authentic Cantonese and Hong Kong-style cuisine, and the radish cake listed on Victoria's Street for the New Year is super authentic, which can be called five-star (see Figure 2)!
My goal today is to buy some New Year goods that I want to eat, such as: radish cake, sugar rice cake, taro cake, etc. I remember that last year I bought a radish cake for 8 Canadian dollars, and this year it is 9 Canadian dollars. Taro cake and laughter are sold out, sugar rice cakes think or forget, lonely people buy a radish cake even if it is the New Year. In addition, I also went to the place where the roast goose was sold and bought 2 packs of freshly squeezed Guilin rice noodles, 5 Canadian dollars and 2 bags, so that you can eat 4 meals. With Guilin rice noodles and authentic radish cakes, I am very satisfied!
The picture below is a casual photo of the New Year goods and street scenes. Thinking that it is already the 29th in China, and my son has finally arrived at my grandmother's house smoothly, my hanging heart is stable! Now I only hope that the whole family is safe, healthy and healthy, and happy! The biggest hope is of course that the epidemic will pass early, Guotai Min'an, we wanderers can go home as soon as possible and live a normal life!
