Navigating the aisles of an Asian grocery store, like T&T Supermarket, without knowing any Chinese (or Korean, or Japanese, for that matter) can often feel like a high-stakes game of roulette. There's the thrill of chance, the possibility of stumbling on a hidden culinary gem, and, occasionally, the odd misstep of bringing home something completely unexpected. Is that a tin of sweet lychee or pickled radish? Will that paste elevate your stir fry, or set your mouth on fire? In the past, you might've relied on the goodwill of fellow shoppers or store attendants to demystify your finds, or maybe even based a purchase on the pictures. Now, your smartphone offers a more reliable solution.
