Our family does not eat as much of the Standard American Diet as most ( in fact I don't know that I do @ all.) So sometimes what we want just is not AT the neighborhood supermarket, but it IS @ the local Asian market. For Fern Hill, that's Tai Li Market located @ 72nd and Park Ave. ( http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Tai.LI.Market.253-474-3378 )
Why do we like it? Well, I can buy 50 lbs of rice @ a time with out driving outside my neighborhood for starters. ( Nice to know I don't have to go to Seattle for that ) The staff is friendly. They carry one of my personal favorites, dried mangos. ( better than candy and far more addicting!)
They also carry a nice selection of Asian veggies @ a good price along with simple items like Tofu (several brands including from our local supplier, Tacoma Tofu For a review of this co go to http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=59993 )....Miso Soup, Kim Chee, Dried Mushrooms, Rice crackers and more.
Almost any canned Asian goods you need are there as well and things like coconut milk are so much LESS expensive than at a regular grocery store. So are Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. You can also get chop sticks, rice bowls and paddles and other assorted dishes and sundries @ Tai Li.
So for Asian food with out driving to Seattle, or even to across town, stay in Fern Hill and shop @ Tai Li.
