History
CHAN Shee arrived in Canada on August 7, 1909 as the wife of SAM Wing Poy.
With her husband, she helped run the famous butcher and meat shop called Loy Sing Guen meat store on Fisgard Street in Victoria's Chinatown. The business first started operations in 1889.
By day it was a meat shop. At night, the SAM family transformed it into a restaurant and served wonton, chow mein and congee, considered the house speciality.
Chan Shee would raise eight children with her husband. Sadly, she passed away in 1934 at a relatively young age.
