Sambal Ikan Teri.

Sambal-fried anchovies, a god tier condiment. Great on rice dishes like nasi goreng

>>10491715
Asian women like dried squid, octopus and cuttlefish for a snack but wh*te womyn tell me it smells too much like pussy for them. Asian women don't have that type of scent down there in my experience, so there's that difference.

>>10491802

Some definitely do. Ive smelled some rancid yellow gash in my time.

cheap gook snacks that are like a third of the price they are at western stores

Some of those sesame and honey cookies or miniature bars. Also a whole pre-cooked duck.

>>10491665
There's something fishy going on with this isle.

>>10491802
believe me, asian snatch smell as much as fish than white woman vagene

>>10491665
Frozen dumpling wrappers, so you can make hella dumplings later.

I purchased this on a whim on one of my weekly asian market runs.

Since trying it the first time, I always get 3-5 more every time I visit. I'm head over heels in fucking love with this stuff.

Must drink it ice cold. Also makes really amazing coconut icecream floats

>>10491665
tinned eel is a very good snack

most asian snacks are way too expensive though, and the ones that are cheap are kinda shit, like Hi-Chew and Pocky. those things fucking blow

>>10492995
>tinned eel

>>10491665
buy goose eggs and extra stock your enntials

Some calpis/calpico

>>10493121
shit has HFCS, do not drink

pocari sweat is superior

>>10492995
>like Hi-Chew
You've only had the made for the US (as in made in China) version of Hi-chew.

>>10493346

>>10491665
radish kimchi

>>10493374

while we've got an asian food/drink thread going, can you guys help me look for something?
i remember as a kid my mom's friend always got this box of japanese energy drinks every month. i remember trying one and falling in love with the taste.
the drinks were all different, and they were all god-tier, but this one i remember specifically.
it was made in like 2007-8, and it was red and gold with black designs on it. it tasted like a really natural berry tea-type thing, and gave me energy like the equivalent of two red bulls.
anyone know about this?

If they have a bakery section, freshly made fried red bean balls.

Buy some prepared squid

>>10491665
these

>>10492995
>>10493040
Why did no one tell me tinned eel is a thing. I'm gonna go try to find some tomorrow.

糖酒米

>>10491665
>No one recommended gochujang

It's an all purpose korean chili paste that's quite mild really. You can use it to make easy bibimbap or buldak

>>10493971
holy shit this

its so fucking good
(had to google what it meant though)

>>10491665
Doubanjiang. The one with broad beans not the shitty soy version.

>>10493947
these are soo good

>>10491665
Happy ending

Don't do >>10493380 if you care about what your house smells like.

If you're already stocked up on things like gochujang, good ramen, frozen dumplings, mirin, rice wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, rice and other staples, just treat it like you would any other supermarket and get whats on sale.

Vegetables, drinks and whatever protein looks decent. Usually the fish market is great (check out the roe for a few bucks. Put that shit in everything)

a gf

I’ve heard that buying meat/fish from Asian markets is a terrible idea due to the questionable origin and unknown practices/quality control. Is this true? I always walk past the meat section because of this.

>>10495391
dunno anon. i'm the guy a few replies up that posted the receipt. the market i go to is a fairly large national chain, so it seems like risking an enormous lawsuit from mislabeling their products seems like a godawful idea. that roe i got was labeled as from iceland fwiw. i don't recall the chicken (and i tossed the package after cooking one breast and freezing the other for later. not rummaging around in the trash to satisfy curiosity).

this is the same company that someone caught them bringing meat in raw on a shopping cart at one of the california stores, so they've already got one pr disaster recently and probably would not want another so soon.

>>10491665
ABC Onion Sauce. It's the only acceptable form of onions you can find that goes great with anything onion sauce goes great in. Also, lychees in syrup. Tasty little fuckers....

>>10491802
>>>/fa/
>effay is fire tonight boys

These, if you can find them

pic related is prob the best of the meme ramyuns ive seen become popular imo. get some banana milk, pocari sweat, golden curry, and marinated meat from the meat section, pref spicy marinade if they have it

matcha, those sweet beanpaste-filled pancakes, nori and/or kombu

>>10495391
yes don't buy meat from them only rice

>>10495391
If it is your first time shopping there, then I'd say it is wise to skip it. You need to get a feel for how the place is run.
I personally buy meat, fish and prepared foods from 2 of the 3 Asian markets I shop at, and haven't had any issues. One is a US Japanese chain supermarket, the other is a local Korean market that also runs a catering business. The other place I shop at is a Chinese market, and their seafood and meat section just doesn't sit right with me, so I skip it. Honestly it's probably fine, but I have tons of other places to buy meat and seafood, so I just trust my instincts.

>>10491816

>>10491665

Do they have Gushers?

Didn't read "asian" until too late.

>>10493346
I at the cold version of this today
Was much more pleasant. The sauce is still very spicy but since you're not sucking the noodles down while they're flaming fucking hot you can taste a bit more sweetness in the sauce. Also numbed my mouth a bit faster somehow.

>>10491665
Is that pic actually in asia or is an asian grocery store in america? If the latter then that's the cleanest one I've ever seen.
I live in a pretty well off area but my local asian grocery store looks like hiroshima after the bomb.

>>10493381

This ad gets me so fucking hyped when it comes on TV, but I can never find it in shops.

star anus
white pepper
frozen buns and shit like that
frozen dimsums, like 50 to a bag for like $10. Those make good snacks.
If you're into cooking get some wonton wrappers and make your own dimsum.

Get a big bitch thing of soy sauce.

This shit pic related if I can find it, it's some kind of fish stuff and it's fucking delicious.

Just remember to go in with a budget and try to stick to that.

Thai basil, holy basil stuff like that too if they have fresh produce.

Also a duck.

>>10496747
Is that baby lamb eating beans out of a bottle?

>>10496767
Seems like a brand of soy sauce, radioactive sucky lamb.

>>10496767
looks like it

>>10496767
Putting beans where they don't belong is considered high comedy now.

>>10496775
That's probably more acceptable in Japan then sticking your chopsticks in rice.
They're a real easily offended bunch, just remind them of Pearl Harbor and they shut up pretty quick because they don't know where their so called honor was hidden, maybe under that bit of rice?

>>10496775
AIR IN THE SYRINGE

>>10496783
Nurse here. We used to do heart echos with 50 ml. air injected into the bloodstream. The whole "a bubble will kill you" thing is a myth. Air embolisms are possible but you'd have to really work for it to get one.

>>10496791
Why do it that way unless in the middle of a battlefield?

>>10496791
And then will you get proper sonics?

>>10496791
You may have injected air, but have you injected beans?

>>10496781

There was plenty of honor during Pearl Harbor. Japan gave advanced warning before attacking.

>>10496805
You're so stupidly wrong.

>>10496812

You need to go back to school or study history.

>>10496814
yeah right, I'll get right on that you jap lover pig.

Where i am asian supermarket means indian/paki food?
whats the best stuff i can buy from there?

"Asian" ingredients will be cheaper there. A bottle of sesame oil at my local grocery store is $3.69, but it's $1.29 at my local Asian store (same with rice vinegar, it's $4.15 compared to $1.19; coconut milk is $1.39 compared to 99 cents; curry paste is $3.00+ compared to around $1.00; and forget about finding gochujang, mirin, fish oil, etc). Just get basics and it'll make it worth your while.

>>10495929
You're the fucking man, spicy peanuts with chilli and fried anchovy are awesome.

Incidentally the guy this brand is named after is pretty interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wong_Fei-hung

Jackie chan even did a movie about him.

>>10496909
Enjoy big bags of spices and gallons of sesame oil for a paltry fraction of the price of those little containers in American supermarkets

I'm having Thai for the first time tonight. What should I get? Is Thai iced tea worth trying? I was thinking of getting their Drunk Man Noodle and Mango Bubble Tea.

>>10498036
Masaman curry and green papaya salad are two Thai dishes which frequently top surveys of the world's best foods.

Drunken noodles are good. So is the spicy chicken stir-fry with holy basil (pad kaprao)

bubble tea isn't thai but it's a good complement to thai food.

>>10498036

Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles are good for first timers. If they have green papaya salad, get that.

Bubble tea isn't my thing and isn't particularly Thai, but whatever floats your boat.

>>10496909

>>10498181
