Those of you who have been reading this blog regularly probably know that I've been on a quest to find a good Chinese supermarket in the DC area. I'm happy to report that I've found The One: Great Wall Supermarket in Falls Church, Virginia!
Even though Great Wall is located in a whole different state, it didn't take me as long to get there than I thought it would; in fact, it took about the same amount of time it took to get to Kam Sam. The difference is that Great Wall is much bigger and better! There is a massive selection of pretty much anything Chinese. I was particularly impressed with the live fish tanks:
and the roasted meat takeout area:
Of course, Great Wall has a great selection of Asian sauces:
And I saw (though didn't buy) "Taro Frozen Dessert," which is probably the closest thing to the elusive purple yam ice cream; however, I don't think they're quite the same thing. Somebody, pleeeeease import some purple yam ice cream here!! (And while you're at it, please bring in some dofuhua, too!)
Between this place and H Mart, I think I've got about 90% of my Asian food needs satisfied. Overall, I was happy with my shopping experience at Great Wall and will definitely go back should the need arise.
