Asian Market

Last week we triangulated our way to the Asian Market on the 15-501 service road, hidden back behind the Mayflower seafood restaurant, seeking lo mein. 50-odd kinds of noodles, but no lo mein. Not a loss, however: Scored some organic zucchini-like vegetables, bok choy, a bag of noodles, and a big bag of pot stickers (they have veggie, pork, beef, chicken, and combos). They also have squids, seaweed, spices, lots of cookies and candies, and a large Chinese-language video collection. Also found some “happy mix”–a savory snack mix in cute shapes–and at home discovered it was horseradish flavor. I ate a handful, and suddenly the back of my nose exploded with puffs of fire…hot stuff! It was such an interesting experience, I couldn’t stop. The next morning, I discovered the “salty” part of my taste buds no longer worked, and it took a good 3 days to get them back. Fun!

   Is this the same Asian Market that used to be off 15-501 near that John Deere place and that had those huge holes??? I’m looking for some good Japanese foods. Did they have a nice supply of Japanese things?

   Thanks!

   There is one closer to South Square and one closer to Hardee’s down Chapel Hill Boulevard. I am talking about the South Square one. I did not see many Japanese items there. This reminds me to check out the other one.
