You can find plenty of Chinese groceries in Chinatown, and Fairway Market grocery stores have an extensive selection of Chinese grocery products.
By the way, I've moved this topic to Food and Dining/General where you can continue the discussion

here's a picture of Chinatown in Victoria to reassure you, (the oldest Chinatown in Canada)
and the link to Fairway Markets with many location throughout Victoria
http://www.fairwaymarkets.com/
The 8 store chain that is Fairway Markets today is steeped in tradition. Don Yuen, founder and president of the company, is one of generations of Yuens who have earned their livelihood in the grocery trade, first in China and now in Canada. As if destined to continue the family tradition established by his grandfather and father in China. Yuen has, over the last 39 years, taken the best of what he has learned from experience and observation and expanded on it, developing his own chain of markets in southern Vancouver Island.
Our stores cater to the value-conscious shoppers from all income levels. "We have always offered value, variety and selection to our customers."

I found that housing is cheap in Sooke. What do you think about living in that area? Safety? Envoironment? neighborhood? Trafic to downtown? Thanks
I guess compared to Maple Ridge to Vancouver, Sooke to Victoria is no big deal. Beautiful place, esp. by the water. Safety? No problem anywhere in Victoria, as previous post indicates.

Hopefully your family will have a chance to come and visit this summer and drive around taking a look at the different areas! Let us know how it goes!

In China Town, I'd found out that some of the groceries are selling "Expired" products. (sorry if usage is wrong, I am not good at Englishhttp://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif
). What I mean is, they already expired in 2006, 2007, etc., but still on shelf. Some has no expire date at all. I've to look carefully the expire date on bottles, packages, ready made mix packages.
Though I looked carefully, sometimes I'd noticed the expire date only when I'd got home.
That's why please check carefully the Expire Date when you shop Groceries in China Town.
Just advice no offence.

Its not bad when its expired like a couple weeks and it is discounted, but 2006? That makes you wonder how clean and organized the whole shop is...

BTW, It's too bad there are no T&T Supermarkets in Victoria, they've got a good selection.

Perhaps they could merge with Don's Food Market just a block away.

His brother, Wyman, who is 11 months his senior, said working 12 hours a day, seven days a week to help their parents instilled a work ethic that stayed with them their whole lives.
