We&#8217;ve been looking for an alternative ever since our old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.super88market.com\/\">staple<\/a> for Asian goods began slipping into the dumps in terms of selection. It was a relief to find that this place had all five kinds of soy sauce we use, Shao Hsing rice wine, <a href=\"http:\/\/ramenlovers.blogspot.com\/2006\/01\/neoguri-udon-seafood-spicy.html\">Neoguri<\/a> noodles, soba\/udon tsuyu, and even vegetarian chicken. We bought nearly a hundred bucks worth of groceries, including a 2-pound striped bass for steaming. Among the goodies were also ingredients for banh mi.
