I absolutely LOVE their spicy dried lemon. So ono! And of course all the other dried and preserved seeds that they have.

When Chinese New Year comes around, and you need to prepare Buddha's Delight aka Jai or any traditional Chinese dishes, then Wing Cheong is one of the best stores to come get what you need. Wing Cheong has been around for many, many years. It's located in Chinatown, along Hotel Street, next to Jimmy's Produce, near Kekaulike St. The store is small, and sells a little bit of everything. I like how they always have seasonal items and put them out front for passersby to see, and their produce and other items are always excellent quality. I recommend coming here for Lychee and Longan when it's in season. It was Chinese New Year season, and the front of the store had an array of specialty items for the occasion such as water chestnuts, arrowhead root, fried tofu and fried wheat gluten, dried mushrooms, bean thread, wood ear fungus, ginkgo nuts, dried bead curd sticks, dried oysters, black moss, and etc. It's pretty much a one stop shop! All are excellent quality! Inside the store has more things from the typical Asian sauces and condiments, tea, dried and preserved fruits and candy, and very specialty items such as dried sea cucumbers and dried fish maw. The owner and his family are super nice and very friendly. Always joking around in Cantonese AND English. Proficient in both! Overall, Wing Cheong is an excellent store. Definitely a go to store for specific items. Vegetables and other seasonal items are usually fresh and good quality. Some specific items we come here for and never disappointed are arrowhead root, water chestnuts, taro root, lotus root, lychee, and longan. Their vegetables are nice too. Many things are packaged and ready to go. The prices are very reasonable and fair.

I enjoy coming to Chinatown and I always make a stop at Wing Cheong. Its just a little store run by a humble & sweet family. The fruits are reasonably priced and it is not normally too crowded. I make this a mandatory stop during Lychee season, they have Lychee in different size bags and this year it was $5.99 per pound. The Lychee is a nice size, fresh and very sweet. I also love to try the different candies and dried fruits, they have everything you could imagine and I really enjoy trying different things candies & dried fruit everytime I visit.

Grocery shopping in Honolulu's Chinatown... During Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year, my family ate special Chinese food for good luck. One of these dishes is gau or gao, a sticky, mochi-like dessert, made with glutinous rice flour. The round shape represents unity while the red date on the top is for good luck. The stickiness symbolizes sticking together! I found a recipe on the internet for microwaved gau. Instead of steaming it for four hours, you can microwave gau for 18 minutes! I wanted to make another batch since my first try was tested by my coworkers. This second batch would be made for some friends. I needed more flour, so I went back to Chinatown on a Sunday morning when metered street parking is free. The store that I usually go to (on Hotel Street) was not open yet. Right next to that store is a smaller shop that was open. I took a look inside and asked for glutinous rice flour. They had it! And - it was at a lower price! Yay! I decided to get 2 bags of flour! Haha! Wow... I think I'll shop here more often... LOL!

Best see moi in town, in my opinion. I love all kinds of see moi. This place has no aspartame or artificial sugar. The seedless licorice plum is the BOMB!! Li hing mui, licorice lemon, ginger honey lemon. I also like Lins of Hawaii if I can't get downtown. See Moi is the one food item I allow myself no matter what healthy eating lifestyle I'm practicing .
