$114 Grocery Haul - 99 Ranch Market (Asian Supermarket) (Not Kosher)

Where does the money go? Today's Haul was $114! I just went in for coffee. Oops! Left with the world's largest cauliflower.

This morning I visited 99 Ranch, a local Asian grocery store, and bought 6 months worth of Vietnamese French Roast Coffee ($42 total). Since the market is out of my way, I always stock up to have a full pantry of coffee, and minimize trips. While there, the following other items jumped into the shopping cart - all special purchases that usually would not appear in the typical suburban American grocery stores.

WARNING: Definitely picked up some traif items, as we do not keep a Kosher home (we pack Kosher-style lunches for school and we do enjoy lots of classic Jewish holiday foods. I hope I don't offend anyone!) At the same time, if you do not keep Kosher, this market is a wonderful resource for delicious meat, seafood, snacks, and frozen convenience foods.

Not only do I share my haul of amazing and unusual items that 99 Ranch carries, but also what I will cook with them, and which are beloved by my Preschooler and Toddler. You'll be amazed!

Some of the highlights I've never bought before:
Golden Dragon fruit: $5.03
Taiwan Leek (2): $1.22
Chinese Cauliflower (3.32 lbs): $7.60 (it is ENORMOUS!)
Plain Omelet (Tamago): $2.76 (a nice snack to offer baby)
Frozen Mixed Dim Sum (contains Shrimp): $6.49
Mixed Crackers (contains Shrimp): $4.59 each (bought 2)

Some of our other favorites, that are repeat buys:
Gailan (like a chinese broccoli): $2.95
Kohlrabi: $1.09
Longan on stems (1.68 lbs): $5.36
Rib Eye Beef: $9.87
Short Rib Beef: $8.25
Easy Cheese Cake: $2.25
Quail Eggs (15 ct): $2.99
Sushi Ginger: $2.29 (lasts forever!)
Frozen Chicken Gyoza: $4.99

There are lots of dishes I'm looking forward to making with my produce, in addition to eating the fruit raw and packing it in our lunchbox.

The cauliflower will go into stir fry and a batch of Japanese Golden Curry I a making.

The beef will go into the freezer until I'm ready for it, and I may make more DIY Chinese Food, like I did in this video for Mandarin Beef with Broccoli: https://youtu.be/WxKo8-BNjKo

The Gailan has already been diced and stir fried with some yaki soba noodles (in refrigerator already) for lunch, along with some cartelized onions and carrots.
