My son and I were pretty excited to visit the market we were looking for a specific kind of flour to fry chicken and we wanted to try some of the viral Mango ice creams that I was told you can get at an Asian market.

So glad I didn’t have to drive all the way to Charlotte to find what I was looking for...or settle for the less authentic alternatives at food lion. Glad to have found this gem so near to our home. Feels great to be able to support a local...
