My friend Wendy told me that Fubonn, this giant new Asian supermarket, was now open. She tempted me with tales of huge candy sections and oodles of bubble tea. So when my parents came by today to drop off several dozen frozen ham bao, I thought it’d be fun to drag them to the market.
Gates down! A man walked out and told us they will open tomorrow (he also told us that aisle 6 would be dedicated to Japanese products), so all we could do was press our faces against the metal bars and longingly peer in. That candy section better watch out, cuz I’m going to be all over it.
Well, this is just one more thing to add to my list when I begin my campaign to move to Portland.
wow! that looks like as super ’99 ranch market’! i love going in those asian supermarkets/stores -my favorite is ‘marukai,’ but you need a membership – i usually tag along with a friend who’s a member. one of my favorite finds was a japanese one-drop toilet deoderizer – now i think we americans have a copycat product.
oh man. i fear for that candy section’s life.
Wow! Where is this place and why haven’t I been there yet?
Dude that store looks great and all, but lets get back to the frozen ham bao! Where do they get them? I love bao and for some reason they’re hard to find around here…
um where is this? I think I need to do some research . .
what is bubble tea??
Mmm, sounds like my kind of market! Bubble tea… 🙂 🙂 🙂
Fubon is (sort of) OPEN?! We drove by on Saturday (I think) and it didn’t look all the way open yet… then again I was looking for GRAND OPENING or NOW OPEN signs to replace the OPENING SUMMER 2005 banners they currently have up.
Can’t wait to check it out!
