Location is a guess.
Barbara Anslow:
The Asia Company was in Des Voeux Road, before Central Market & big Chinese shops like Wing On, The Sun Company. Pre-war it was simply a grocer's etc. shop.
Many European families, like us, used to give them an order every day, in a 'compradore' little book they supplied. You wrote in your order for the next day when today's goods were delivered. You could also telephone orders to them.
Just after the surrender [in 1945], they made room for a few tables and chairs and became a thriving restaurant.
