From Chinese Foods to Whole Foods

For the past 4-5 months, Shu has taken me on wild journey's to San Francisco's Chinese markets for groceries. These are the crowded stores in Noriega, Irving, Clement, and Chinatown that show many fruits on outside stands and have chopped chicken parts laying in the open ice inside. Whenver I go in and see those choppen chicken parts, I just think that can't be right. But somehow, these markets exist and either pass California food department inspections or are ignored and accepted as San Francisco's history. They must not be too bad because we haven't had any food poisoning yet and we shopped at them every week. ..until today.

After our Italian brunch this morning, we visited 4th street's Whole Foods and Shu loved it. We had a delicious wild salmon, asparagus and a random green chinese vegetable for dinner tonight. I hope that in the future, we could get all groceries from there instead of the 3-5 chinese markets we usually have to visit in a day to get meat, fish and vegetables. However, even after our Whole Foods venture, Shu still had me go to Noriega for 4+ kinds of green chinese vegetables.
