Forget filling up Folsom Lake, Amgen, the Johnny Cash Trail, and landing on many 'best places to live' lists.
The best thing to happen to Folsom in recent memory is.....the 99 Ranch Market!
Okay, maybe I exaggerate a bit in comparing it to those other things, but it is pretty awesome.
If you don't know, 99 Ranch is a chain of Asian-themed supermarkets, and they just opened in the center/space om di.
They feature imported and specialty foods you just can't get at your standard supermarket.
Live crabs are $5.99 per pound. Other markets are selling them for $4.99 to $10.99 for cooked ones. I buy live ones whenever possible because a) you don't know how old the cooked ones are, and b) You don't know if they were fresh (alive) before cooking.
They have quite a variety of mushrooms, vegetables and fruits.
You can get yam leaves, green pea leaves and radish leaves. All delicious.
Their hot counter has dim sum, as well as self-serve lunch plates, roast duck and pork.
One of my favorites, is their selection of hot sauces. I'm an addict. I admit it.
They also have imported sake, rice wine, and shoju.
Go check them out, and try something new!
