Prevalent in the 20th century, Kám-á-tiàm (柑仔店) are traditional grocery stores in Taiwan. Not only a place for business, kám-á-tiàm were also the centres of social activity in towns. While purchasing groceries at a kám-á-tiàm, people would chit chat with the shop keeper or other customers. Besides regular household items, kám-á-tiàm also sold traditional Taiwanese toys, snacks and drinks, such as plum candy. Consequently, children loved to spend their pocket money at kám- á-tiàm. For many people in Taiwan, kám-á-tiàm evoke fond memories of childhood.
