    Pomai, I googled.heheheh

    And I found it.

    "SHUNG CHONG YUEIN LTD. on Maunakea Street, a family-run Chinatown institution, will close next Thursday after 45 years of selling traditional Chinese treats and sweets.

    Its founders, 82-year-old Shing Yuen Ng and his wife, Chow Hop Ng, "in her late 70s," are going to retire, said Ericson Ng, their youngest son and president of the company. He is also a dentist with a practice in Nuuanu."

    Yeah, Pretty Lady wrote about their closing.hahahaha

    I also found a recipe foa their famous sesame/peanut candy recipe!

    A friend drove by last night and it looks like the Varsity is open for business! Beer flowed, the jukebox blared, and friend's eyes almost popped out when she saw the new furniture.

    Payday's tomorrow! You know where I'll be headed!
