It’s worth noting if anyone’s back reading this post that things have massively changed in Barrio Chino over the years. There’s now a big dragon gate at the entry, there are more shops and restaurants open and welcoming to both locals and tourists. Hey, there are even local tour guides who offer tours of the markets – they’re actually amusing to see as generally they seem to consist of about a dozen locals, usually, as an observation, in their late 40s to early 60s, and they’re absolutely amazed at the various ingredients, many of which they’ve simply never heard of nor seen before, and the guides do their best to explain what they are and how they’re used, though are often perplexed themselves. I regularly get stopped when I’m filling my shopping cart by porteñas who want to know what something is and how they can use it, since I guess it looks like I know what I’m doing. And, the customers in both restaurants and shops are now as likely to be non-Asian as they are to be Asian, which simply wasn’t the case six years ago.
