H Mart and Beyond: The Best Asian Markets in Philadelphia | Eater Philly

"I shop here to stock Lao/Thai pantry essentials — Pantai fermented fish sauce and shrimp paste, Por Kwan chile pastes and curry gravy, Mama Noodles in the iconic silver wrapper, T.O. Nam cured sausages and pork rinds, and multiple brands of padaek — and to find produce that’s hard to get elsewhere, like makrut lime leaves, Piper betel, Thai eggplants, durian, jackfruit, and green papaya; I also pick up indoor-outdoor plastic rugs and the mortar and pestle used for making papaya salad." - Diana Lu
