Had a good time at the Asian market today.  I figured it would be busy, it being Chinese New Year week and all, but it was PACKED.  I've never seen them have two cash register lines open but they did today.  Tons of lucky decorations were put up and out for sale and a huge Happy New Year banner was hung above the front door.

 

The minute we walked in they were wheeling out stacks and stacks of bread, just out of their ovens that you would use to make banh mi sandwiches out of.  It smelled SO good.

 

They had cases and cases of pears.  I hope they are good.  I also bought a dragon fruit!!!  I know, I know @liuzhou and others have said that they just don't have much flavor , but I've always wanted to try one so I pulled the trigger.  I'm not even going to tell you how much they were...I think it would make you faint dead away.  

 

I walked through the noodle bowl isle twice trying to find Liuzhou River Snail rice noodles, but, alas, they didn't seem to have any.

 

Anyway, I got stocked up on broth, pork belly, chicken gizzards, oxtails...all kinds of good stuff :)
