When I have the time, I enjoy a spot of ethnic cooking. The many years I've dabbled in historical food research has given me an appetite for trying all sorts of new things.
Many of the items I utilize, I can't find in a staple Arkansas grocery store. So here's a list of Asian markets for your own resources that might carry some of the more exotic items you can't find on Aisle 9 at Kroger.
Little Rock Greater Metropolitan Area:
* Recommended: This is one of Sue Khoo's enterprises.
Recommended: This is the tiny yet well-packed Japanese shop under Mt. Fuji. I get my seaweed wraps here.
Recommended: Fine selection of gifts and housewares as well as fresh vegetables, fish. I get my banana leaves here.
Fort Smith:
Recommended. Best Vietnamese store I have been to in Arkansas.
