Far East Oriental Market

This is the only Asian/Chinese grocery store in the area. I’ve been told the boss is a Malaysian but I’ve not heard any Malaysian chinese dialect or accent from the few people who works there. The stuff are slightly more expensive and less fresh than the big Korean market an hour away from here. I contemplated making the long drive to the nicer store but decided I don’t really want to drive so far for tofu that’s maybe 10 cents cheaper.
