Chinese SupermarketChinese SupermarketChinese Supermarket

Quite an interesting assortment
When today I told my boss proudly that I bought 3 bottles of the good Rutini Cabernet Malbec 2004 on sale for only 40 ARS at my Chinese supermarket next door, he told me I may be unlucky and have to be careful, since they do not store wine according to how it should be stored.

But yesterday my friend Christian told me a story much worse than the above. He, same as I, goes for joghurt. Well, some time ago he got a food poisoning from that, so bad he had to stay home and even call a doctor to come home and see him to help.

He was told that he should never again buy such things (in Chinese supermarkets) after the holidays. Why? Because during the holidays (Christmas and all January), when BA is deserted, the shops turn off their cooling devices over the weekends or at night, and they keep the stuff they do not sell and sell it late.

How disgusting is that?

Now I am unsure of whether I should buy eggs from the market next door... or where else?

Hi, I am from buenos aires....showep up by chance here in your page (i was looking for a malbec page and google sent me here). I have witnessed once at a chineesse restaurant that they turned off their lights of the refrigerators at night. I had arrived just when they were closing, and I saw the refrigarators turned off. I left without buying.... yours martin
