New May Wah Supermarket, San Francisco

You will know that you are in an authentic Chinese-style grocery store when you pass the tubs of live turtles and frogs at the entrance. You will also find some of the freshest produce at the lowest prices in the area. Some, like green peppers and juicy peaches are familiar. The selection of Chinese melons, sweet and bitter, and in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, might not be. The counter help inside can help you find what your recipe calls for and might make some great suggestions for new ones. Please call for further information.
