Hong Kong Market

The sadly/mercifully dead Super 88 reopened some time ago as the Hong Kong Market. Which I’m using as a flimsy premise to post this awesome photo of tea eggs from Tiny Urban Kitchen. There was some freshness skepticism from TUK last month on Chowhound.

I stopped by the new Hong Kong Market in Allston about a week ago. It was fully stocked, and the brands are a bit different than what Super 88 used to carry. I was pretty happy with the level of items available. I bought some fresh soy milk and deep fried crullers (yo tiao). Unfortunately, in less than a week, the soy milk was solid and chunky, and the crullers (still in the bag) had molded. I was soooo disappointed. What’s going on? Then I looked on the package and realized they had sold me EXPIRED crullers. I’m so disappointed. I had such high hopes for Hong Kong Market. Why are they selling expired items? Just make sure to check your dates when you buy stuff there! Still haven’t had a chance to go to H Mart . . hoping for something better . . .

H Mart in Burlington is a little far outside our geographic scope but have heard nothing but ridiculously positive raves about it. Other than bitching about parking shortages (don’t park next door and walk over).
