I went to Blue Fig farms because the internet thought they might have British food. I guessed that…read moreingredients for Indian cookery is what they specialize in so there could be cross overs. I keep reading about how brown sauce is a staple on every table in the UK. HP Sauce is the main brand. I stopped in on afternoon Saturday the 7th. First impression was similar to the Asia market on White Lane, maybe less cluttered, more like a small supermarket. Walking the isles I didn't see it. To make sure I asked a stock clerk. He was friendly, hadn't heard of HP Sauce but walked me to where it might be. No luck. I didn't want to leave empty handed so brought an apple soda in a clear plastic can shaped like an aluminum can up to the register. I guess they took those earlier negative reviews to heart. The cashier, a man in his 40s or 50s, was so friendly. Joking with me in a dad joke way then gifting me a little morsel on my way out. I'm sure no one else gets treats, I was wearing my cervical collar, pretty sad looking. They have a lot of different foods there. Great produce. Just don't count on finding much British food.

This is a lovely Ethnic market.

You can get a quick meal to go, which I haven't done yet but am looking forward to. The aromas are Devine. The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me. They have a small but excellent meat department. I noticed that they have very reasonable prices and the lamb is especially affordable compared to other markets. They have a vast array of what are exotic groceries compared to other markets. I love to just peruse the isles when I'm there. I wish they had cooking classes. It would be interesting to learn how to use ingredients I'm not familiar with. I highly suggest a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Asia Market fills an important niche as the only Asian grocery store in town, and for that alone…read moreI'm glad it's here. While I don't do my regular Asian grocery shopping here, it has definitely saved me on more than one occasion when I've needed a specialty ingredient in a pinch. The biggest downside for me is the pricing. Compared to the markets I shop at in Koreatown when I'm in Los Angeles, many items here are significantly more expensive. Because of that, I usually stock up during my trips to LA and only stop by when I need something quickly and don't want to wait. On my most recent visit, it was nice to see that they had received a healthy shipment of fresh vegetables. I was able to pick up ingredients for making kimchi, and I also found milk buns, which was a pleasant surprise.

Yes, in Bakersfield, I know right?! She also had what could be best described as banana fried spring rolls, a sweet and tasty dessert that is lightly crispy.

Plenty of other Filipino dishes / treats / snacks to choose from.

The staff was mindful and let us know that it will be about a 25 minute wait for our order (serving 4). That was no problem for me as it means that the food is freshly cooked to order. Ethnic Foods Market is also located in a shopping center, so I didn't notice the wait time. Also, we ordered to-go. There's one table that seats 4 people, but it truly is a market rather than a restaurant so be aware that dining-in is limited. They serve various dishes such as the jollof rice and chicken or the egusi with fufu and beef. Both of these were nothing like I've ever tasted before. Nothing comes to mind that can compare to its flavor. All I can say is that it's yummy and you have to try it for yourself!

I didn't get to the bakery until late mid morning and most everything was gone, with 2nd batches in the oven. I bought a couple of rounds of sweet bread, and the sweet bread here is amazing. It's just like my late grandmother's recipe. On my second visit, I ordered a mista sandwich and a couple of pastel de natas (and more sweet bread). The sandwich and tarts were divine! I was so happy that I stopped by again. I don't drive up north as much these days, but this bakery is a 45 min drive, and I plan on going again soon.
