A cultural experience to say the least...

A few years ago I discovered Cao Nguyen.  All I knew was that it was an Asian grocery store. I decided to venture in to OKC and check it out.  To my surprise it was much more.  Not only did I find less expensive produce but I also found a fabulous tea pot for less than half the price at a local SUPER store in Edmond.

I will admit it can be a bit overwhelming the first few visits, and I'm not just referring to the fish smell.  There are so many unfamiliar items that it can take more time than usual to shop.  It is also HUGE!  They have a very large meat and fish department that is an experience in itself, especially for the kiddos.  They enjoyed looking at all the live fish and crabs, with their noses plugged of course.

I have yet to try their bakery items because I have been following a GF diet most of the time that I have shopped there.  They look tasty and that section meets you at the door so it's probably worth a try.

One of my favorite things are their veggies, they are super cheap.  However, I have read a few reviews that mention checking expiration dates, evidently they are not always the freshest.  Something I think is neat that they offer are cut up veggies for stir fry and such.  I have not had any problems but I will be sure to keep an eye out for the quality.  I plan to ask what day they get their deliveries....

So, I know some of my readers shop here, what is your take on the cultural experience of this grocery store???
