Oriental Supermarket: Truth in Advertising
A nice medium sized market that claims to offer supplies for Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Phillipino, and Thai cooking, this place has a pretty decent selection of the basics in one small place. A wall of freezer cases have homemade dumplings, pork buns, giant frozen fish, and other Asiania (I just made that word up). For a store of its size, it has a great selection of teas, prepackaged sauces, hard to find ingredients, candy (my favorite lychee jelly things) and some of the cheapest, nicest, veggies around. A deli counter offers premade duck and othe meat and tofu dishes. And of course, it offers bubble tea supplies. Who doesn’t dig bubble tea. For the first few sips.

When I first had this over here it was known as pearl milk tea. There's a great cafe in the harajuku area that has a mattcha pearl milk tea. They sweeten it with an okinanwan molasas called kuromitsu, and with that thick straw, you can (unfortunately, uncontrolably) down it in like 10 seconds. Posted by: Travis at February 21, 2005 10:47 PM Where else can one find Bubble Tea around here? I've been going through withdrawal since moving from NYC and no longer having Chinatown at my disposal. Posted by: MJF at February 22, 2005 11:51 AM My favorite spot is in Eden center, Song Que Bakery. Green Tea with one of the grilled pork sandwiches, which are super cheap and tasty. The other spot is Kam Sam grocery, I think, which is near A&J (?) in Annandale. You have to find the bakery inside. I'm sure there are many other spots though... Posted by: ljk at February 22, 2005 1:12 PM There is a place in College Park, right on Rt. 1 next to Campus that has Bubble Tea. Next to the Potbelly and Jimmy Johns sandwich places. Posted by: Andrew Leyden at June 24, 2006 9:53 AM California shortly referred to the drink as "Bubble tea" because I remember being introduced to the drink in California back in 2001 as "Boba" and that is still being used there in the west coast. There's a place at Fairoaks Mall, Fairfax, VA that's basically the starbucks of "Bubble Tea". You can get all sorts of flavors and combos. I forget what it's called but its on the second floor right by Caribou Coffee and Cingular Wireless. Posted by: jma at December 4, 2006 12:53 PM Post a comment |

The Supergiant Asian grocery stores of Rockville, sized to put a Superfresh to shame, are an absolute playground. But if you’re looking for something a little closer, I highly suggest Oriental Supermarket at the 891 F Rockville Pike.
