Super Cao Nguyen

This store is nice and big, but it's a little dirty. It's nicely stocked and organized. But the fish tanks are full and many if the fish are dead or dying. There's a lot of incense burning so I guess you won't smell the dead fish. Other than that, it's an ok store

Sharing this hopefully to help some people out. I bought a can of SPAM, got home not even 2 hours later and when I opened it I was disgusted. Completely covered in mold. Avoid this brand! Unfortunately they were already closed and I could not go back to return it.

Great selection for your asian grocery needs. We love the bao buns and other treats. We've gone two years in a row for the lunar new year celebrations, I appreciate them supporting the local youth!

This place looked very promising. They carried a lot of stuff although they didn't have what I was looking for. I selected a few fresh vegetables. Unfortunately within 3 days the fresh green beans began to mold. So I went to check the mint and not only did i find several bugs I also found 3 live slugs inside the packaging. This place should not be in business at all. I have shopped at several other Asian markets in other states and have never seen such gross things.

Our first time going here and we weren't disappointed. We heard they had 2 whole isles for Ramen noodles, and they do! Every flavor you can think of. My family and I love this store. There are too many things to talk about. All I can say is if you're into Asian then you seriously need to check this store out. You won't be disappointed.

They sell frozen Tempeh here!! Wide variety of selection on asian products, relatively clean, and larger compared to Chinatown market nearby. Plenty of parking and there are a few dine-in restaurants right inside this building also 👍. FYI, Amex cards are not accepted.

If you need anything and I mean anything for sushi, kimchci and more you will find it here! Prices are reasonable to! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful! Our first time here and we definitely will be back!

I love this store and it has a great variety of fresh food items. Here you get a lot of Asian products and really cool snacks. I picked up some Japanese kitkats tea and matcha flavoured which were super unusual but really tasty.

Every city needs at least one giant Asian supermarket. The great thing about these stores is that they also carry products from Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America, though in smaller amounts. Still a presence. Great fresh eats from a counter, a bakery, and a fun eatery and shopping experience that's more of a mini cultural immersion.

Great place. Always helpful and great selection on fresh seafood! Real live lobster! Can't beat their selections on vegetables either!

Super Cao Nguyen not only has asian products. They also have international products. Great price on jarred grape leaves and imported olive oil. Excellent variety of produce with great prices. Fresh meat and fish counter. Authentic French bread and rolls. Wide selection of asian sausages and other culinary delights, also a wide selection of Asian beer. Great selection of Asian inspired dinnerware, cookware steamer baskets, and chopsticks.

What a great place to shop! I get all of my specialty foods here! I should visit here more often! I brought my wife along for this shopping trip! Ha! She cracks me up! The truth is we learn from different cultures and as I traveled my 20 years in the military I truly appreciate where I went what I was able to experience!

Got a new hot pot set up for Christmas so trying to figure out what and how to use it. Also making bibimbap tonight so drive over. This place is huge and busy. Found a spot to park in the front row. Parking is premium. Had to ask abt hot pot soup mix and the man directed me to the area. There are so many different types tht it is hard to find what you need and you have to look at the fine print to find English. I grabbed a few things I think will work as well as some fresh veg and sliced meat for bibimbap. It is definitely a different atmosphere than most grocery stores. One complaint I have and it's not the stores fault but there are many rude folks shopping there. Blocking aisles and just all around not paying attn to anyone but themselves. Once you get past tht it's all good. Picked up some kimchi which is outstanding. There is always a security person just inside the door but I've nvr seen any issues here. This is not only groceries but cooking utensils, bowls, plates and just about anything else you can think of to make Asian food. Check them out.

Son and I were visiting OKC from L.A. to visit my mom, who is from Vietnam. Of course, I HAD to see this place and take her there. What an awesome market! For me to visit a market devoted to Vietnamese food, I have to drive 40 miles away to Garden Grove. I am so glad there is a place like this in OKC. I was like a kid in a candy store, finding many things I remembered from my childhood.

This spot is literally heaven. They have everything for good prices. I have bought so many snacks and new fruit to try. It's clean and not crowded. The workers are sweet and sometimes with a language barrier they will help you till you find it .live seafood too that's a game changer.

The main asian grocery mall in the heart of the city. Everybody shops here. This is where you can get all of your grocery needs and fixes. Love the little kitchen they have as soon as you enter.

One of the better Asian markets in OKC. A very big grocery store with fresh vegetables, a meat section, lots of frozen Asian foods and lots and lots of spices and sauces from all the Asia Cultures. I can usually find what I need here. Price is on the higher side but there isn't many other Asian grocery places to shop

There are 2 Asian supermarkets in Asian district, Cao Nguyen and Chinatown. Cao Nguyên is the newer and bigger one. It's more spacious and the aisles are larger. It looks cleaner as well. There is a always a security guard in the front as well. There are more to go food available at Cao Nguyen and dessert selection. If this is something that want to buy, Cao Nguyen is my go to place. I find the grocery is little more pricy at Cao Nguyen than Chinatown. Of course there are exceptions on certain items but most items are more expensive, not by much though. For grocery goods, I prefer Chinatown because of a slightly cheaper price.

I've been to 10 different H-Marts and this place is better than H-Mart. I don't know where else to go for boba, satay sauce, powdered Milo drink, and those little lace front plastic flip flops that Gen Z is trying to bring back. There's also a better live fish selection here than some markets on the coast. Go take a look, go down every aisle, get the best fresh mushrooms and basil. I guarantee you've already eaten something from here because this is where half the restaurants in OKC buy their produce. Skip the middle man, get yourself the world's most perfect bean sprouts.

Excellent Asian grocery and probably the closest thing OKC has to a Ranch 99 (in being the largest Asian supermarket/grocery in these here parts). Being in the Asian District, the focus is on Vietnamese fare, but they have plenty of snack and food selections from different Asian cultures - including one aisle dedicated to sauces, spices, and unique goods from specific countries. A lot of random products for sale including stuffed dolls made to resemble boba milk tea drinks, religious/spiritual statuettes, altars, cooking ware, furniture and the sort. You can probably find any Asian food/drink item or product here if you look hard enough!

This is my go-to Asian grocery store in OKC! They have a vast selection of Goldilocks pastries that I grew up enjoying in Manila! The store is huge and clean. They have a great selection of meat, seafood and fresh produce as well as dry goods.

LOVE shopping here--great fresh veggies, reasonable prices and love the ability to buy dishware, pots, pans, etc.

Excellent selection and the fish market is top notch. I haven't had any bad service yet. The ambiance is nice, and it's fun to see new foods.

Great place to find all your Asian food items. They sell fresh Asian baked buns at the front of the entrance. It gets pretty busy but good to place to shop. If you want Peking duck best to go a block away to the China Market.

Loooove this place. So fun, such a great grocery. Going for breakfast was a great decision -- a ton of fresh baked goods for under $10 (just remember to bring cash!!)

Pronounced "Cow Win" it's basically what happens when a chicken tries to fight a cow on a farm. This is a wonderful grocery store with all kinds of stuff in it, right in the heart of Chinatown Oklahoma City. These Asian grocery stores are becoming much more popular with yelpers and hipsters and families in general and so they should be. The range of goods on offer from all over the world is awesome. My darling Julie says she lives too far from Whole Foods as if Whole Foods could ever, ever compare to Cao Nguyen. Either for price, or selection. ;)

Oh, this place! I grew up shopping at this Vietnamese market with my parents. Now that I'm an adult, this place is pure nostalgia for me. It is huge! Bigger than 888 International Market in KC. Prices are very reasonable and I loved going here because I would get to see my folks' friends. My mom is no longer around and my dad doesn't live in OKC anymore so I don't come here, sadly. I do remember they have everything you could want. Their banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) were huge and only, ready for this? $3 dollars! Ok, you can pick your jaw up now. No way can you get a decent banh mi for under $6 in KC, and they are usually half the size. You can even eat lunch in there for very cheap. I've not tried but there is a good selection of vegan meals there catered to the Buddhist community that my folks belonged to. This place has it all.

The essential International market of Oklahoma City. Don't let the name fool you, this is a gem for food finds from around the globe - you just have to look around to find them. Whenever I can, I always run up to OKC and pick up some essentials for my household (primarily for Asian cuisine) and I love to explore their new offerings. If you watch any of the big youtube travel shows, you'll most likely come across the ingredients to make some of those dishes you watched here. In terms of selection and quality of selection - I give this store 4.5 stars! The prices aren't always visible, but they are usually modestly priced so you won't run across any real shockers. The store itself is kind of dingy and maybe a bit smelly - especially if you have never been in an international grocer. There is a lot of fresh seafood and meats that help contribute to the scent but it shouldn't be offputting. The toilets are a mess and there are a few customs that you might not be aware of and I'll leave that to you to discover. Just don't expect it to be very clean in the washrooms at any given time. Aside from groceries, they have freshly cooked goods and even some household items for cooking/cleaning etc. It is really a nice place to wander around if you have time to kill and you never know what cool item you will come across. Overall, it is one of the best international markets in the area. There are other markets across the states that rank much higher but since they aren't situated here, it's not fair to compare. It's a really fun and adventurous place to visit. and I think you should come to check it out. Just don't set your expectations too high.

LOVE LOVE LOVE . Need I say more?? Soooo much in their selection and quality is always very high

Make sure you have cash if you want to buy hot food and some other things. This place in OKC has a good amount of Asian ingredients I needed but lacks a lot of good brands or varieties such as chili oil and more.

Great people and produce and products you probably will not recognize. Best fresh fish selection ( love the salmon they filet in house ) You can't beat their ground pork especially if you are making sausages. My favorites: fresh dill $1; fresh peeled garlic $1.5; tofu 19oz $1.50; ground pork $1.25#, salmon $7#. approximately. Did I mention that just about every chef in town shops there. This is a great gem in OKC

Just moved to OKC from LA, and finding a nearby Asian grocery store was pretty high on my to-do list. It smells just like a Ranch 99 grocery store when you walk in. (: I would say that what they sell tends to gear more towards the Vietnamese population here, and the Korean/Chinese products are fewer in quantity and higher in price. However, I have been able to find everything I need here, and it is always fun to discover new foods that I have not tried before! I will be visiting frequently for sure!

My favorite Asian market! They have most every meal, produce, and especially beverage options. The drink selection is incredible and the employees have always been kind to me. The girlfriend loves it too as their ramen selection is very broad!

Since moving back from Hawaii to Oklahoma it's nice to have a Asian supermarket to buy some of our favorite foods. This is one of he best Asian markets in Oklahoma City. The vegetables here are the best quality and the best price. They always have fresh fruit already cut up in packages to eat on the way home from the market. In the mornings they have a place at the front of the store where you can have steamed buns and other yummy foods to eat. It's great! I wish I lived closer to this market because it really is a great deal and there's always some interesting foods to try.

Just had to drop in and update my Super Cao Nguyen review after stopping in the other day. I only needed a few things, but it always feels good to be at Cao Nguyen! I need rice paper wrappers for some spring rolls I was planning to make, and of course I had to get some of the good edamame and wonderful fresh, affordable produce. I also grabbed some baguette (because, why not... it's better than La Baguette due to a high soft bread to crusty bread ratio). I also love that it is such a well-oiled machine. Plexiglass already up, masks everywhere, and the fastest check out in all the land. Pro tip: This isn't Whole Foods. This is THE grocery store and an important part of the community for OKC's thriving Vietnamese population, especially of an older generation. Don't act like you own the place. Please be mindful of the elders, don't make comments about food products or smells you don't understand, and just generally try to make sure you don't act like an entitled hipster when you're here. If you can't do that, then may I suggest visiting literally any other grocery store in town.

Five stars for the excellent sake selection and freshly prepared sticky rice snacks to-go. That's as far as I got into the store on this visit, barely scratched the surface, hope I get to go back next time I'm in OKC.

I love Super Cao Nguyen. I don't come in as often as I'd like, just because I hate their parking lot and well, it smells fishy, and I don't need as much from here. But the other day I wanted to buy chopsticks. I love pho and ramen and I feel WRONG eating them with a fork or spoon or really anything except chopsticks. Actually, I feel that way about any Chinese food. So, I needed my own. And they have what I needed. A full dozen plastic, green chopsticks for $2.99. I feel like a bandit. This is where you can find all the dishes for a Chinese restaurant, incense, altars, knives, Buddhas, etc. They have fish and meat. They have massive quantities of rice and pasta and sauces. They have fruits and vegetables that I don't know what they are. It's a cool place that you should check out,

This is so far my favorite Asian grocery store in OKC. Having been uprooted from the DC area, I thought my days of fresh produce and Asian goodies was over. But no worries, I found super cao! Large selection of all kinds of leafy greens and Asian veggies, sometimes I don't even recognize these veggies, that's how authentically Asian it is, haha. A lot of herbs which I know are daily necessity for southeast Asian cuisine. Decent selection of fruits, not quite as robust of a selection as it was on the east coast but I'm keeping in mind that this is a Vietnamese store, not a Chinese one, so naturally more tropical/exotic selection. There's fresh Thanh's tofu (which is another good spot). This is the real deal guys, reminds me of tofu from my hometown where it's freshly made daily and sold in blocks they cut off per your request. There's always an assortment of prepared foods in the front, Asian corn on a cob, sticky rice dishes, rice cakes, pudding, etc. most of what we've tried so far are decent, the more adventurous looking ones were a little different for my taste, but the pudding and sticky rice were my go to. Large seafood and meat selection with butcher on site to prepare your meats as requested. I haven't tried the seafood yet but overall looked fresh. Again, this is a Vietnamese store and not Chinese so understandably I can't find as much Chinese goods here, but definitely enough of a selection to cover your basic Asian style cooking. (Not a large selection of moon cakes for the recent mid autumn festival). I've read that on weekends there's hot pastry selection in the front of the store but we have yet to check that out. All in all, great selection for it being not in a huge Asian hub and I'm definitely happy about having such easy access Update: tried their weekend selection of fresh pastries. Didn't see any stew for entree. the Chinese cruller has the right concept but way too greasy, the sesame ball has a mung bean filling instead of black sesame, and the meat pie is again a bit greasy. The churro was crunchy and delicious per the hubby. All in all not too impressed with the bakery part but I'll take what I can get!

I shop here frequently. This is only if the biggest Asian market in Okc. I am from the Houston area and I can say this store isn't missing much. Although having a bigger hit food deli would be good. They serve hot banh Bao and other items on the weekend right at the entrance. This store has fresh herbs, fresh veggies and fruits... large selection of seafood and diff types of meats. I highly recommend buying meat from the meat deli. They have a section where there is prepackaged meat at the end of the store but it never looks right. If I wanted beef bones, I'll ask the butcher TJ chop it up for me. I do buy my fish here too. There's a nice guy in the seafood section that will cut it or clean it however you want it. The guys in the pork and beef area are always super nice and helpful. The guy in the seafood section that a bit older and always has a hair net on, he's sometimes rude and you feel like you're bothering him. I love that they have a variety of rice, sauces, snacks, candy and all kinds of stuff!

I want to give two stars in comparison to other large markets I would frequent when I lived out of the state, but comparing an ethnic grocery store in OK to one in the most culturally diverse city in the USA is kinda not fair. This market has an good selection of everything ESE Asia. The canned, dry, and packaged goods are all excellent. They have a bunch of nicknacks, cookware, drink ware, and small to ginormous lawn decorations like eagles in flight grasping serpents punctured by their talons. The hot bars are okay; there is one at the front entrance and another about 26' in the store. The meat and produce section are interesting. They sell balute if you want to try a new challenge.

OOOOO MMMMMM GGGGGGGGGG! I LOVVVVVVVE THIS PLACE! I go here for the crazy odd's & ends that I can't find at the normal OKC grocery stores! I get my raw dog bones here for $0.99/lb! You can ask them to chop them into thirds and they're PERFECT! All sorts of crazy odds & ends that you'l find! They have super cheap tapioca flour! They also have a crazy assortment of tofu and fresh veggies! Saw this place on a travel chanel and can't be more happy that they exposed this little gem!!!

I've lived in Oklahoma for 26 years and don't understand how I had never visited this spot. It's such a cool and unique grocery store. I honestly didn't feel like I was in Oklahoma, but rather in one of the stores in a coastal city. They have such a vast selection of items that I had more time, I could have easily spent 1-2 hours just looking through everything. Also, I'd venture to say that Super Cao has one of the largest selections of fresh fish in the city. As per expected, the prices were fair and checkout was a breeze. I will definitely make it a point to return and pick up some fish the next time I'm wanting to fire up my grill!

This is my go-to grocery store for my international (mostly Asian) cooking needs. It often smells of fish, which I rarely ever buy here, but they have produce, cuts of meat/bones, sauces, and other ingredients that I can't get at my usual grocery stores. It looks like they're doing some updating to the front of the store, which is nice. That area used to be the place to get your bamboo, incense, and buddhas, so it wasn't an area I frequented. I'm interested to see what they do with it. I also noticed an upgraded cooler where the frozen dumplings and Bao buns are located. It's nice to see them investing in some upgrades. The folks behind the meat counter are always nice and helpful. I've not had much luck in locating items by asking for help from employees stocking the shelves. They seem disinterested. I don't think it is a language issue as I always google the item I'm looking for and show it when asking for help since I may be pronouncing it incorrectly. In general, I just plan to walk the aisles multiple times if I'm looking for something I haven't purchased there before. The upside of doing that is that I have discovered new things to try that I may not have noticed before!

Super Cao Nguyen is my go-to place for those Asian snacks and food that I cannot find anywhere else in OKC. At the deli counter, pick up some fresh baguettes. I pick up a few and stick them in my freezer. When I am ready to eat them, leave them out on the kitchen counter for about an hour to thaw. The bread will taste fresh like the day you bought it. The veggie and fruit section is mainly for Asian cooking so don't expect to find broccoli, American apples, cantaloupe, etc. Just think as if you are in Asia and what Asians eat in Asia. Makes sense? The seafood is fresh. I go for the fresh shrimp behind the counter as opposed to the frozen ones in bags and boxes in the freezer. Ask one of the guys behind the meat/seafood counter to bag you up some fresh seafood and meat. They have an endless supply of Asian sauces and spices. Anything you want to eat and make (as if you are in Asia) is here for your liking! I can go on and on about this store, but I'll just tell you what I normally get when I go here: 1. Mama pork flavored ramen noodles (a whole box) 2. Maggi seasoning - It's certainly not soy sauce and I thank Maggi for that. 3. Korean pork and vegetable dumplings - They're in the freezer section. You can't miss it. Look for Korean writing. That's all I know. 4. Meiji Almond Chocolate - These bad boys will change your life. The Japanese sure know how to make legit chocolate. 5. Jasmine rice - Get the five pound bag. It's well worth it. 6. Baguettes

So many options from so many International regions. Excellent freshly prepared items (steam buns...), but don't expect a lot of help if you are looking for something in particular.

Super Cao Nguyen is the best Asian market in OKC! They always have what I'm looking for and the store is organized nicely. Can't beat the prices or experience.

Love this Asian place fresh to buy. People are nice fresh food and fruit. If you are into Asian food then this is the place

I was pleasantly surprised to have found such place in Oklahoma! There aren't very many Asian grocery stores in Oklahoma so genuinely ecstatic when I came across this supermarket. They carry a good abundance of most Asian goods, including varieties that fall within Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and other Asian cultural goodies! It definitely reminds me of a typical Asian supermarket I would go to back in California with some restrictions probably due to demand and/or importation. They're also located in what seems to be an Asian hotspot with other shops and eateries. They carry fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins. From what I can tell, the few times I've visited, they do keep their inventory in check and provide as fresh as possible products! I think what excited me the most was that they carry live fish, something that I will definitely be getting and cooking! They carry a large variety of beef and pork, including bones that make for a great bone soup! One thing I did notice was that they don't carry lamb meat. Nevertheless, I am extremely satisfied with how much Asian products I can find in one place! Some things are definitely expensive, almost to an outrageous amount in my opinion, but it makes sense if they have to ship it from far away while maintaining freshness. It always makes me happy when I see ethnicities other than Asians shopping in an Asian supermarket and you definitely see a lot of that here! They receive a large amount of support from the nearby community and I hope it continues to be this way!

I love being able to buy my peeled garlic here for very little moolah!

Boba place up stairs,best place to get a smoothie and the food is really good, definitely worth trying out and going!!!

Our family loves Asian food, and that's really an understatement. I learned how to cook Asian food when I lived overseas. I instantly loved the flavors and many of the dishes that were commonly served at restaurants or food stalls. After I returned home I really missed all those flavors and special meals. So wherever I've lived I typically will first try to find an Asian store that I am able to buy supplies to continue cooking the recipes I've grown to love for my family. This store has virtually everything that you would need for several different asian dishes. Whether it be Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and many others... Chances are you can find it here. They do sell meat here, although I haven't purchased it. I typically tend to purchase produce, frozen items, drinks, spices, noodles, and rice. They also sell housewares. I use much of what they sell. For example dipping dishes, bowls for rice or larger bowls & spoons that we use for pho. I also can purchase the propane gas canisters that are specific to my table top grill. We use that grill often for making bulgogi or other Asian barbecues. The store is pretty organized, well stocked and clean.We've been there several times and we will continue to visit when we need supplies to cook our dishes.

Great selection!!!! Super clean! Love the meat department!! A must, see it to believe it!!

Certainly the best of the couple Asian markets in the district. The rub is that the place is not clean like your average grocery store, but the selection makes it worth it. I used to go and think "oh they don't have what i'm looking for," but in reality, they had it and I just couldn't find it. Yeah I wish it was cleaner and smelled fresher, but I've never gotten sick after 100's of trips often buying seafood or pork so the issue is mostly about comfort. I'm always impressed with the kindness of the staff at checkout, even when they are slammed they seem to be friendly and upbeat.

THIS PLACE IS THE ABSOLUTE COCOA NIBS!!! simply algebraic, 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! i love this place so much, notice me Super Cao Nguyen, i'm your biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!! i'm 15 now but i've been going here since before i can remember, amazing prices, delicous food. IF. YOU. HAVEN'T. GOTTEN. A. CUSTARD. OR. MUNG. BEAN. BUN. GET ONEEEEE!!! you haven't LIVED until you've had one! fresh bean sprouts, jiggly gelatinous bean cakes, sugar stars, fresh meat from the deli. this place is heaven. i'm not a christian but if i thought heaven existed, it would be a Super Cao Nguyen. i would work unpaid for this store, Super Cao Nguyen if you see this; i love you and you are so beautiful.

Good place to buy Asian groceries. However, not impressed with cleanliness. Poor customer service. Not following CDC guidelines to minimize spread of Covid. Parking lot is in horrible condition. Prices are reasonable. Restrooms are very dirty.

I am so thankful that we've got a killer Asian supermarket in this city, but there are things that make me really uncomfortable that make me feel like I need to warn people. This place makes me incredibly nervous about their raw meat selection. In fact, I would highly advise people to think twice about purchasing their meat and fish from here. While the fish is labeled whether or not it is from the US, the meat is not labeled where it is from, and I'd put a lot of money on the fact that it's not domestic. Yesterday I bought a pound of ground pork to make some homemade Chinese dumplings, and the meat wasn't ground to normal minced consistency; it was still kinda chunky with fat chunks I could pull out individually. There were pieces that I couldn't identify that looked an awful lot like organ meat parts, and it just made me both suspicious and nervous. I've seen catfish in the tanks with sores on their faces, too, so please be careful if you are choosy about where you get your raw meat and fish. I know it's cheaper, but there's often a reason for that. Everything else is awesome. So much variety, and I've always been able to find exactly what I need in this store no matter what Asian recipe it is. Thirty different types of vermicelli noodle? Lemongrass? Half-developed baby chicks still in the egg shell for my Filipino friends? Black duck eggs for my people? Right here, folks. Lastly, watch out for Asian parking lots... those are a health hazard.

At least once a week, I realize I am in dire need of something obscure that the average grocery store will not have. At this point, I'm usually thinking, "I wish I worked/lived closer to Super Cao Nguyen." Every trip is an adventure. I always buy something that I don't need (or don't know what it is), simply because I think it looks interesting. The adventure part comes in when I eat it, and wait to see what it does to my digestive tract. There is a really nice deli area, where you have a choice between various foodstuffs that are prepared once you ask for them (think bánh mì and the like; quite yummy) or a selection of foodstuffs that are ready to go (spring rolls, sushi, and the like). They only take cash at the deli area. I curse myself every time I walk in and I realize I have no cash. The store is amazing, with most anything that you could desire, at least as far as Asian cuisine is concerned. As an Indian, I'm impressed that SCN has a decent selection of South Asian ingredients as well. Prepare to have your clothes saturated with the smell of fish. Don't dress up when you go to SCN. You have no one to impress here, other than maybe your significant other when you blow their minds with your knowledge/expertise on cuisine from the other side of the world. And seriously, if you have not tried Sriracha sauce by this point in your self-proclaimed foodie existence, do yourself a favor and pick up one of those. But don't get the one everyone knows about (green cap). Get the one sitting right next to it in the red cap (from Thailand). So gooood. You will thank me. It's cheap(ish) here. There are some things that are cheaper at the other grocery store nearby, but rarely a big enough difference to where I feel that it's worth making two separate shopping trips.
