More grocery shopping

We are still missing some basic staples, which led to more adventures at grocery stores today.

We went to Basic, an organic food supermarket, on Kaiserstraße today. Prices are lower than Alnatura (which we visited on our first day), but higher than Lidl (which we visited yesterday). The quality of produce at Basic is on a par with Alnatura and higher than Lidl.

Across the street from Basic is Asialand, an Asian grocery store. I could tell Glenda was in heaven as soon as we stepped inside the store. There is no shortage of Asian food supplies.

A few examples:

• our favorite Chinese "longevity shrimp" noodle 蝦子麵;
• a good selection of soy sauce to choose from;
• Longevity brand condensed milk (those who grew up in Hong Kong would certainly recognize this);
• Nissin Demae Ramen 公仔麵 (We don't eat instant/cup ramen, but were impressed by the selection at the store and could not resist taking this picture); and even
• Wong Lo Kat herbal tea 王老吉涼茶

Comparing to the SF Bay Area, the price is quite a bit higher here in Karlsruhe. A 10-lb. bag of Jasmine rice costs about 13€, a price that is significantly higher than that in the Bay Area.

I guess we will embark on an adventure to look for good Asian restaurants next.
