   Wellcome supermarkets are great!
   I spent over an hour here, taking notes.  There are foods of China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Australia, and more.  Everything is nicely marked in both English and Chinese (Cantonese).  The staff has cooks and samplings throughout the store.  Just a wonderful store!
   There is also a web site for each product:

   I'll go through a few of my food notes (see web site for more):
