Best Price Supermarket
24 9th Ave Edenburg
I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best Asian Supermarket in South Africa and today I came to a spot in Rivonia, Johannesburg that also offer ready made popular Asian street foods like this Youtiao or Chinese fried dough stick, chicken skewer and deep fried bean curd. I got all of this and more at Best Price Supermarket. Selling primarily Chinese as well as other Asian goods, this very literally named place is a one stop shop for anyone looking to get their hands on Asian ingredients, foods, treats and sweets that can otherwise be hard to find, many of which I’ve shown the price of in this video so feel free to screenshot and save when you see something you like.
From the first Chinese labourers and “free” migrants who came chasing the Witwatersrand’s gold in the late 19th, to the traumatic clearing of mixed locations 1904 that burned away much of the early Asian street life, the Chinese presence in Joburg has always been a story of perseverance, and reinvention.
From commissioner street through the 20th century, to the emergence of Cyrildene in the 90’s and now even to smaller Asian commercial hubs like Rivonia, the Chinese story in Joburg isn’t a singular, but a living one.
Living in South Africa offers an opportunity to learn from and immerse yourself in countless cultures who call this space home and the choice to embrace this in my opinion offers a delicious opportunity to expand one’s own world. And if this idea interests you, you need to follow me as I journey through all corners of our country. I would highly recommend trying out Best Price Supermarket and have left the details in the caption, but if this is not the best Asian Supermarket in South Africa, you need to let me know in the comments where I’m going next
