Asian supermarkets in Cape Town

Posted by Ming-Cheau Lin on 7 March 2012

I often shop at two specific Chinese supermarkets, located in the northern suburbs of Cape Town: Live Mart and 96 Chinese Supermarket. These two are Taiwanese-owned stores, which means I can always purchase brands that I grew up with and they both make bubble tea! There is imported junk food, cooking essentials, exotic spices, Asian beverages and duck eggs- Asian supermarkets have quite a diverse selection of products compared to your average South African grocery store.

In the southern suburbs I recommend:

Korea Mart

Lian Shin Supermarket
Chinatown in Ottery (on the corner of New Ottery road and Woodlands road)
