Every time my Mom has visited us here, she has been searching for a good Asian market to buy food from and I think we finally found one! It is a 50 minute drive from Lake Norman but we were able to stock up on lots of frozen goods as well as satisfy our tapioca milk tea craving in the process. There is also a bakery there with egg tarts , sweet breads, and sesame balls. The market is clean as well and is in a relatively clean plaza area. There is also a butcher and restaurant area where they can make you fresh pork buns and turnip cake.
We are trying to figure out a way to make a trip at least once a month. Will definitely go back!
