Don't go to the generic "Asian" markets, like Ranch 99 or any other Chinese or Japanese places. You need to go to a Southeast Asian market. That is where I got these from. Also, did you try calling Berkeley Bowl or Monterey Market? Sometimes, they get some great exotic fruits, but you have to act fast.Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865316.post-59863970318074444012008-08-16T10:01:00.000-07:002008-08-16T10:01:00.000-07:00Hi, where did you get this??
