More than twenty years ago, Huaxi Street was lined with over a dozen fruit stalls. As night fell, the area would come alive with bustling crowds, where people could be seen riding bicycles while carrying trays of fresh fruit to deliver to nearby tea houses and karaoke bars. In the blink of an eye, only one fruit stall remains on Huaxi Street, and thus, Huaxi Street Delicacies is an invaluable presence.
Having been in business for over 50 years, the current owner, Mr. Yu, is the second generation to run the stall. He started helping out at home when he was just 13 and is now 65 years old. The stall only closes for two days each month and operates for up to 12 hours daily. Mr. Yu and his wife take the morning shifts, leaving the afternoon to their son. "When we first got married, we hardly took any breaks; we only rested during typhoons and for the New Year," Mrs. Yu recalls.
