My mom absolutely loved Super King Food Center in Stockton.The Asian supermarket at 6045 N. El Dorado St. was her go-to place when it came to making her favorite Filipino dishes.She often sent me there to pick up her spices and wrappers for lumpia, Bihon noodles for pancit, fresh fish cut to her preference and exotic produce such as bitter melon.Years earlier my mom sent to me to the Saturday Asian farmers market underneath the crosstown freeway to buy bitter melon. At first, I had no idea what it looked like or how to go about selecting this tropical plant that also has medicinal uses.Speaking of fresh fish, my mom had me go to Super King to pick up tilapia, preferring it pretty much intact including the head and all.One time, she wanted me to pick up five of them on busy Friday evening during Lent. Fish was so much in demand that I had to patiently wait my turn while being shoved around by folks gathered around this section of the store.Being pushed and shoved around in any Asian store can hardly be considered rude or bad manners.
