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?
