Taiwan Kwong Leung Hing Dried Food

VERY BAD SERVICE.
They hurried us out the door even though we are only brought a bag of snack. I asked, «Why are you rushing us out the door?» Then she said, «That is how business work.»

I personally not snack but my hubby loves it! He always spends a lot of money on junks! That’s why I tried to not go to Aberdeen centre if I could.
After we had quick dinner, we passed by Kwong Leung Hing on our way out. He went in quickly without asking me! He just quickly picked his favorite snacks but the lady owner kept selling him all other good stuffs!
Yes! I agreed, they have a lot of selections and better quality of snacks. But, I don’t think the preservative and dried marinated food would taste good!
Well… my hubby was so satisfied after he spent a hundred dollar and got 2 bags of snacks home.

If I could give zero stars, I would.
We were visiting from the U.S. and it’s hard to find the dried olives here so when I saw them at this store, it got my attention. I know these stores have salespeople who follow you around but I was willing to put up with it to get some snacks for relatives back home. We picked up the olives at a table marked 2 for $ 20. One lady immediately took it from me to be rung up. The other one kept pushing other products. So then I began to browse the rest of the store. «Do you want some „pum“ (plum)?» she asked over and over again. I calmly said «I’m still looking. I want to see what else you have.» Anyway, got a couple bags of dried fruit and went back for one more bag of olives. I said out loud «okay, I have four bags.» Implying that’s all I’m gonna buy.
As we were standing at the cash register the lady reaches into a cabinet and pulls out a bag of dried plums. «These are buy one get one free.» Then she tells the other lady to bring another bag of dried peaches. «These are buy one get one free too». Then when she rings us up, it comes to $ 60. Um…2 for $ 20 and we have 4 bags so that should be $ 40. The BOGO bags should be FREE. My husband objects. She counts the bags slowly, two by two «20, 40, 60». Duh, we aren’t that stupid. He removes the two BOGO bags and says «I’d rather just pay for these. That’s $ 40.» She then grabs one of the BOGO bags and says, «I’ll give you this bag for 50% discount». We say no. We were ready to walk out. Then she gets frustrated, says to the other lady in Cantonese «he doesn’t understand how it works. fine. I’ll just give him these for $ 40.» NO, I think we understand perfectly. If she insulted him, I would have told her I could understand what she was saying but we thwarted her con game, so no need to argue. She rips the receipt out of the register, folds it in half, closes her eyes and hands it to me as if she were dangling a dirty diaper from two finger tips. LOL We exit the store. My hubby turns around and sure enough she is giving us dirty looks.
Never going here again.

overpriced food. we were browsing in the store and everything we touch the lady said give us a good price and wanted to take it from us put on the counter. we had to stop her but ended up bought 5 candy with about a buck each. she cheated us on the weight of the candy. before paying she kept insisting to take the dried squid to put on the counter for a discounted price (instead of 40 buck she said only charge us for 27 bucks)

good selection of your Asian snacks as well as the dreaded prunes and dates, but seriously, my dad likes it so must be good haha. Those moist ones.
lots of bins on both sides of wall, as well the centre, good service, will take you there. If they have time.
located 2^nd floor near the parkade.

I came to Aberdeen Mall to have tea with a girlfriend and we did some browsing in the mall. This was one of the stores that we visited. Once you get over the smell than you can appreciate the treasures. I had a bad experience last time, however, this time it was a different worker and a much smoothier experience. I picked some dried apricots.

this place is an absolute MUST NOT GO. we bought $ 200 worth of food a few days ago and had to throw out more than half of it as they were rancid. it was a big time rip off. definitely not the way to cheat your customers with your expired goods.

Suckers beware. There is an older Chinese lady that works here and her job is to rip you off. I was going to buy a bag of Wasabi Peas and she said it was buy one get one free. The price she rang up was $ 17. I told her it was too much. She took off a bag and charged me $ 8.50. So what happened to the buy one get one free deal. She then brings over a bag of dried sweet wafer things and insist that they are delicious and puts it on the scale. I kept teller her no, but she she kept putting on the scale. I should have walked out at that moment. Very bad customer service.
When I got home and ate the peas, I almost had to spit it out because the oil was rancid.

Unethical business owners running a dried fruit racket. Push you to buy overpriced food and then corner customer and curse them when they don’t want to buy. Even wanted to walk us to the ATM to cash money so we could pay.

I found this little snack shop when I was walking around Aberdeen. I have never seen this kind of selection before. The problem I have with this place is the prices are ridiculous! There were bags placed outside that says two for $ 20. I grabbed two bags and brought it up to the register and they asked if I wanted anything else. In my mind it was only $ 20 so I asked if they have dried mango. The older lady worker grabbed me a bag, rung me up, and my total was $ 67! She said those prices for the bags does not reflect fish content, so why would they put it right under the sign? I said fine but I do not want the mango anymore, and as i pulled the bag out of the already bagged up snacks, she grabs it and puts it back in the bag, three times! There was another customer asking if these are only sold here and the older worker said yes and people all over the U.S. comes here to buy some, which is a lie because the only suckers in there were me and this other lady asking that question. All in all, the snacks were good, but the workers there are worse than car salesman.

This little place hidden in Aberdeen Centre is a great way to buy those Chinese dried foods. They have a good variety of dried plums, olives, and fruits. Once you go into the shop, one of their staff follows you around giving you a sample of the foods you want to try. It’s awesome that you can actually sample anything you want in the store before you buy it. I usually go for the dried plums. It taste really good and not as dried as the ones you buy prepackaged from TnT. But I thought the prices they charge per weight were a little steep.

They have really good beef jerky cubes. I have found the cubes are better to eat than the slices. Especially if your teeth are itchy for something to chew on :)
I also recommend their dried plums!
