I have lived in arrow areas that had Asian groceries,but never went inside one. My friends and I will go tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I usually bought Asian noodles, soy sauce, jasmine rice, dried mushrooms and perfumed mushrooms.

@snowy22315 - I do not know their name, they are sold dried, only the heads, they are used in soups and stir fry.

It depends on what you like to eat etc, I go to them whenever I'm in the city for their dragon fruits and pomegranates

I've a small grocery store of my own. But two years ago I used to buy grocery items from other shops. I always buy things manufactured in my own country, India. You should buy only what you need.
