David and I went to two grocery stores this week's grocery haul. Sprouts, our usual, and 99 Ranch Market. 99 Ranch Market is an Asian grocery store chain located on the west coast. This market reminds me of one that I frequented in Queens. I can easily spend hours at 99 Ranch; it’s a vegan foodies' dream.
We came in with a list and left with way more. The majority of what I purchased is for recipes I am testing and creating this week, plus some goodies :)
WHAT I GOT THIS WEEK AT 99 RANCH MARKET:
Hawaiian Sun 10 cans– Strawberry Lilikoi, Pineapple Orange, Island Iced Tea, Green Tea, Strawberry Guava, Orange Passionfruit, Lilikoi Passionfruit, Luau Punch.
– I am addicted to Hawaiian Sun. They remind me of this Spanish brand of juice my grandma used to buy me. All island fruits are my absolute favorite!
Mushroom flavored dark soy sauce
Sambal Oelek
Sapporo Ichiban OG 5pk
– We accidentally picked up the original one. The noodles are vegan. The packets are not. Even when I pick up the vegan one, I don’t use the flavor packets. I create my broth.
Tapioca Pearls
– My hyper fixation on Brown Sugar Boba Milk tea is out of control. David suggested I make my own at home. I am excited to make it at home because then that means I can have it whenever I want hehehehe.
Sazon con Culantro y Achiote
– I love San Diego, BUT their grocery stores are nothing compared to Queens grocery stores. They lack diversity; in every grocery store I have gone into here in San Diego, none has had SAZON. I go into an Asian grocery store, and they have it. So, of course, I got the largest pack they had.
Fine salt
Palm sugar
Strainer
Napa Cabbage
3 bunches of green onions
Ginger
Garlic
Green beans
Bean sprouts
WHAT I GOT THIS WEEK AT SPROUTS:
Arugula
3lb cauliflower
2 cucumbers
3 plantains
2.5lb sweet potatoes
2 bags of spinach
4 mangos
Balsamic vinegar
Thai red curry paste
Tomato puree
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of peach passionfruit tea
Siggi’s yogurt– Vanilla Cinnamon, Mixed Berries, and Mango
– The vanilla cinnamon and mixed berries are my favorite. The mango-flavored yogurt is off.
Sown Oat creamer
– This was on sale, and we usually pick up whatever creamer is on sale for the week. I love Sown’s taste, but it just does not FROTH.
Yves deli slices
– David is obsessed with these. they remind me of Oscar Mayer meats, which grosses me out.
2 boxes of vegan chocolate chip cookies
BULK marjoram, 2lb chickpea flour, basil, bay leaves, 0.25lb walnuts, 0.25lb arborio rice, 0.25lb cornmeal
