     These are just some of the business's owned and operated by the thriving Chinese/Taiwanese population living in Costa Rica.  To locate  some good Chinese restaurants, just look under BUSINESS/RESTARAUNTS/CHINESE
     Being from San Francisco myself, finding a source of Chinese vegetables was one of the first things I did after arriving in Costa Rica.  There is also a variety of other thing's for sale as well, from moon cakes (during a seasonal festival) to what I think is one of the most interesting;  a complete "Lion Dance" costume available at  " Da Xing S.A."

Taiyo Empresa Ltda Super Sony 
" We will help you find what you are looking for in six different languages".

This place is located two doors south of the Super Sony mart on calle 3 between avenida 8 and 10.  They have delicious sausage, bacon and ducks. I like the sausage much better then what I've tasted in the past in San Francisco.   Tel 506-222-4652
Da Xing S.A. 
One of the newer Chinese grocery/souvenir shops that opened up about a year ago. They have alot of foodstuffs and shoes.  It's the only place I've found that has Chinese red wine.  It's located 20 mts south and across the street from La Casa Tornillas on calle 9 (Estudiantes) between  avenida 8 and 10.    Tel   506-258-3092
Han San Supermercado Chino
 I haven't been in here in quite awhile. I decided to stop in and see what was new.  They have alot more merchandise including a very nice frozen food section, with Dim Sum and an unusual rice pasta, that appeared to be made into a banana shape, and then sliced slightly on the diagonal, and a nice selection of pastries.  It's located 50 mts north and across the street from La Casa Tornillas on calle 9 (Estudiantes) between avenida 6 and 8.
