Fubonn Shopping Center

Great variety. Friendly staff. Bought a case of coconut cream (hey, was on sale) and forgot about it on the lower rack of the shopping cart. Called the store after I got home and they recalled seeing it. Was told to come back in with my receipt and I got my case.

There are a few shops here, not much. Went to the market and bought several items. The bakery had this amazing pastry and it smelled so delicious inside. Best part is there is a small shiseido stall where I met the nicest lady. She was extremely knowledgeable about the products. Wish I knew Japanese so we could have conversed better. She even gave us a free gift!

Every once on awhile I go on an Asian cooking kick. I need Loaganma like I need my glasses. I need gochujang or lime leaves like I need a warm bed with a friendly dog. When I start looking for ingredients, it gets complicated quick. From the shredded seasoned seaweed to the black rice, it's like getting sucked back into the ever tempting rabbit hole. Currently I'm on a homemade Furikake kick and searching for ingredients is like panning for gold. Fubon Market is the ultimate destination. Take your time to wander up and down the aisles. They have one of the most comprehensive selections I've ever seen this side of the great pacific. You arrive at the majestic entrance as if you were crossing into a Star Gate that delivers you to a far off land. It's as if the building was built specifically to house an Asian market (it used to be a Porland Community College teaching facility). The mall itself has the feel of a dying city. Lots of closed business and empty store fronts. It's not run down, the place is kept tidy, it just feels like it's hanging on by its fingernails. It does have a bank of massage chairs in the aisle that call out like ocean sirens for those who are tired from shopping, but in general, the only thing keeping this place afloat Is the market itself, which is nothing short of fabulous. They have probably every type of rice cooker on the market, Miles of bowls and spoons and woks. Acres of sauces and condiments and snacks. And an absolutely extraordinary selection of produce and meats. I won't speak for the Asian Community, although to me the place reminds me deeply of my years abroad, but I will say for the average untraveled American, the place is an adventure. It is approachable in a way that many Asian markets are not. It is open, with wide aisles and good organization. The ceilings are high and the building is modern. In other words it is the perfect opportunity to explore other wonderful possibilities.
