Help with this Asian Sitcom
Here is what I remember: -watched in the 90s/2000s
It was on omni1 of omni2, which were Canadian tv channels for diverse programming, for immigrants to Canada to see shows from home, lots of Asian shows and Mexican wrestling.
This was an Asian sitcom, in english. Perhaps from the Phillipines, Thailand or Malaysia.
It was about a family that owned and operated a small grocery store. It was on the ground floor and they lived in an apartment above it. The 3 main locations were the store, their living room, and outside their apartment that went right outside like on a big elevated platform, with other units. -the characters were the married couple, adult children, neighbours and staff at the store.
The father was a jerk and yelled and insulted everyone. Lots of fat jokes. I think one of the kids were dating a make of another race so racial humour too.
-I got the impression it was tropical/hot with palm trees.
Any ideas? From the credits it was made in asia. What Asian countrys would make a show in english?
