My Favorite Foods I Always Buy at the Asian Grocery Store

I've loved grocery shopping with my mom ever since I was a wee child in New Jersey. But before our journey, I always asked which store we were headed to. We frequented two types of grocery stores: the American one and the Asian grocery store in East Hanover. A trip to the Kam Man Market was always something to get excited about.

Asian grocery stores are packed with incredible items you can't find in other grocery stores. And items that you can find your standard grocery store, you can still find in Asian ones, and maybe even at a lower price. The produce and fish are diverse and unmatched in freshness, and the bakery tends to be wonderful. The prepared foods section is worth the trip alone. Asian grocery stores come in all shapes and sizes, but if you have access to a sizable one (or one attached to a food court), you can enjoy an entire afternoon outing and return home with a culinary treasure trove. Here are the things I need to buy every time I visit the Asian grocery store.
