It's more like, what DON'T I buy from the asian market.
I have two near me, one is small private business, and it's a good place to get specialized ingredients. The other is 99 Ranch, which is a chain of large asian supermarkets. 99 has an awesome produce selection, it's where I fell in love with stem lettuce and cook it at least twice a week now (sichuan style), plus all the leafy greens, mushrooms, root veg, fresh fruits....I could go on and on. I buy a lot of tea there, too, and Laksa paste, and varieties of tofu. Last time I was there, I bought some Sichuan spice paste, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet (usually I use dry sichuan spices, not a paste). And their fresh seafood and fish is amazing. I did some clams in their own broth with herbs, white wine, and lemon a few weeks ago with a variety of live clams from there (all their seafood is live in water) and it was the best ever. Their yakitori and shabu shabu meat selection is fucking great.
But the smaller asian market I try to frequent as much as possible since it's a local business, and it's where I go to get spices, rice, candies and all those crazy ass ice cream flavors (btw, if anyone likes the mac and cheese flavored ice cream, speak now, because it's the only flavor I haven't tried, and I want to know if it's worth it).

Nothing. The closest Asian market only sells imported rice for twice of what I pay for the locally grown, family farm stuff. I've seen countless retarded hipsters actually pay $3/lb for "authentic" Asian rice. Morons.

Did you only get that because of the swastikas on the bag?

Fucking nazi.
