THANK YOU!

Duh, I have been searching all over the internet looking for this answer.... and it was right here all the while!

Of the 3 that are open on Jan. 2 - Kong Hing, Super Food or Certified...which one is the best? I know everyone on this board seems to prefer Lings. What store comes in 2nd place?

My preferences: Super Foods then Kong King. I don't like Certified.

i prefer certified
my opinion that the hon king downtown near the renaissance is pretty sketchy.
i have never been in the hong king/super food on the main drag near lings.

I'm probably one of the few that is not a Ling & Sons fan. It reminds me too much of the U.S. and the prices are higher on most things. We usually go to Kong Hing (the one between downtown and the low rise hotels) but we also like Super Foods (fun Dutch items) and Certified (Certified is more warehouse-like - we don't go there very much anymore since it seems like Kong Hing has everything we need and has a better selection of wine/champagne now.)
