A quest for Asian grocery stores
There is no Asian grocery store in the small town that we live. We found out from Google map there are three Asian grocery stores in the same town as the social security office we were going to visit. So, we went on a quest of Asian grocery stores after we got out from the social security office.

We got a bottle of fish sauce, beehun, Vietnamese spring roll sheets, some garlic and gingers. Also bought some fresh ingredients i.e. lime , lemongrass and galanga for cooking tom-yam. The vegetables were not so fresh, so didn’t buy any. The prices of gingers and garlic were half of what we paid in the American grocery store last week.
The second store is run by a Filipino man. They don’t sell fresh produce, mostly preserved canned food or frozen vegetables. The prices are on the higher side, so we only pick up a bottle of sauce and a packet of snack for the big boy. The owner is a funny guy, he kept calling the big boy Mr Ford and said he looks like Harrison Ford.
