I still need to pick up some fresh produce. I used to shop at the nearby Asian supermarket, but with the recent price increases due to tariffs, I won’t be going there anymore. I’ve always felt it was overpriced for the amount and quality offered, so I’ll be buying from smaller fruit stands instead.

I like your idea PlatinumPearl for buying fresh produce from local produce vendors. We have (in our metro area) a variety of ethnic vendors: Ukrainian (Russian and Slavic too), Japanese, Korean, and Chinese American produce vendors at community farmer markets that offer fresh produce from their gardens. I buy local all the time.

I wonder if this means the prices at the good Asian restaurants will be going up too? At least I have some smaller produce stands and some organic grocery stores.

We have the “Jade” sector in our metro area which features many types of Asian markets: Fu Bon, Hong Fat, Hong Fat II ( three super wealthy Asian business men cobbled their riches together to buy out the Walmart complex at Eastport shopping area to expand their Asian presence in the Jade District of our metro area).
Have you ever tried an Asian buffet?? We’ve got an excellent venue east of our metro’s Jade District…. FJ Buffet (all you can eat buffet with fresh seafood choices of many types, all kinds of fresh sushi, desserts, salads, hot bar that changes out daily each meal time that offers awesome hot food choices).
Here’s a link to their business:

My long time friend at work treated me to dinner on my birthday at this buffet.
It was delicious, very enjoyable, wait staff service was tops ( I tipped our waitstaff for their timely, quiet, service), and the aura in the buffet was complimented by very soothing Asian instrumental music. Their wet bar service offered limited choices of beverages, but the tea or coffee or even water was triple filtered and very tasty. Dinner for those of us over 60 is affordable, and regular pricing for adults and children is exceptional too. Very affordable. You take your time to eat all you want to eat. We spent over two hours there enjoying a hearty meal. My lady friend ate fresh squid, and she loved it. Of course, I had fresh crab on the half shell. Couldn’t pass that up at all! Best of all, they are open on Sunday and on all American holidays. I know where I’m going on Thanksgiving, this year...
