Asian Markets

When I lived in Orange County, there were Asian markets everywhere. Maybe there wasn't always one right around the corner, but they were always abundant and convenient. In fact, many ethnic markets of all varieties are easily found there. The Inland Empire is certainly a culturally diverse place to live, but there aren't as many places to shop for ethnic foods. The funny thing is that my friends often say that I'm the whitest Asian guy they've ever met. After all, I was born and raised in California and my dad's side of the family has been in Hawaii for generations. So, I'm a little detached from my roots. LOL. I digress...

Han Ma Eum World Market recently came to Rancho Cucamonga (right before Christmas 07 I think). This is a very large Asian market, with the core emphasis on Korean food. I see a very wide variety of shoppers frequenting this market, not just Asians. The prices on various ethnic foods is pretty decent, and the prices on produce is excellent. Also, the quality and freshness of the foods is hard to beat. I will do a more detailed review in the near future, but in the meantime, I highly recommend you visit if you haven't done so already. Right off the corner of Carnelian and 19th street in Rancho Cucamonga (just south of the 210 freeway).
