"That was disgusting!"
"This is so Filipino,"
"I came here for groceries,"
"This is something that you would never expect to happen - it's a grocery store,"
Seafood City market in North Hills converts select Friday and Saturday nights into "Late Night Madness," turning produce and seafood aisles into lively dance floors. Shoppers encounter prepared Filipino foods like adobo, salted shrimp fry, lechon, lumpia, and halo-halo while DJs in traditional barongs play remixes and attendees take fish sauce shots. Performances include Tinikling and energetic dance circles, with store employees tossing coupons and snacks into the crowd. The gatherings draw families, college students, and community members, offering a familiar grocery setting as a space for celebrating Filipino heritage, food, music, and multigenerational community bonds.
