| - Great place to find special sauces, spices, noodles, breads, beans, etc...
Mostly "Asian"... meaning Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese.... I was excited because I found Mung Beans... am going to try to re-create my grandmother's comfort food of Mung Bean stew.
Had a good section of Greek, Italian and Middle Eastern.
Some British fare.... Some European chocolates.
And TEA! Tea from every region.... so much to choose from.
Couldn't find any Spanish or Latin or Mexican.... but maybe we overlooked them.... did see Chorizo and Portuguese sausages.
They have some fresh fish and crustacean... like live lobsters and crab that they will steam for you. Not as large of a fresh produce or fresh fish selection as 99 Ranch... but overall they had a good selection.
They had lots of bamboo plants if you want to create your own arrangement.
Lots of different international candies and cookies. I almost bought cookies from every region just to try but I didn't.
Oh!... and rice cookers, steamers, plating items and cooking utensils! Lots of good quality items. Also, now I know where to go to replace any of my soup spoons and little bowls that I love so much but have a tendency to break.
Note: There's a $10 annual membership fee if you don't want to be charged the 5% surcharge for shopping there. We pretty much saved the $10 in our first trip... the 2nd trip will definitely have paid the $10... so it's really no big deal.
