#99 Ranch Market

[ashleypureheart22]

You know 99 Ranch Market, an Asian grocery store so famous, Amphibia spoofed it as 99 Ranchers?

Well, I just found out in Long Island, there happens to be one at a mall which was revamped with mainly Asian businesses. I wonder how it will compare to H-Mart or Mitsuwa.

99 Ranch Construction Underway

Demolition crews have recently removed the remnants of Hometown Buffet and Office Max at a retail plaza building east of Mall 205. This work makes way for Portland’s first 99 Ranch Market opening later this year. The 40,174 square foot grocery store at 10548 SE Washington Street will share frontage with three small tenants flanking the main entrance. Workers have altered the building’s facade to…

99 Ranch Market, 400 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007

99 Ranch Market opened at The Shops at Santa Anita mall (formerly known as Westfield Santa Anita) on September 30. I missed the opening day but I heard it was chaotic.

The market took over the bottom floor of what used to be Forever 21, near the food court. There are two entrances, one inside the mall and one outside the mall by the parking lot. The space was renovated and it looks new, bright, and clean. It’s a large supermarket yet the Bread Farm bakery and deli across from the main store. The deli was disappointingly small with Chinese crepes (jian bing), bento boxes, steamed bao, mala tang soup, dumplings, etc. I didn’t see any BBQ meat like you’d usually find at a 99 Ranch deli. The bakery also has beverages and sandwiches.

99 Ranch has the typical supermarket items, including fresh flowers (they looked wilted), liquor, housewares, and toiletries, along with a staffed seafood and meat section, fresh seafood in tanks, fresh produce (a decent amount of organic produce too), interesting ice cream imported from China, and more than Chinese groceries. I saw Korean, Japanese, and Filipino items as well.

Complimentary fish cleaning and frying are offered.

The tofu selection wasn’t as good as the other 99 Ranch locations in the area.

My picks:

Baby bok choy, $0.99/lb

Chinese okra

Organic raspberries, $0.99/package

Sign up for their rewards program. They always have some items on sale. Parking can be tough if the mall is busy.

I worked outside most of the day and I am pretty proud of myself. set up a new planter bed consisting of river rocks, scavenged tires, and fallen twigs made into retaining walls.

I also found an 8 foot wooden pole in the parking lot when I visited 99 ranch market, so I have that in the center of the bed as a support for cucumber vines.

The problem with the art instinct is that sometimes it makes sense. You see a beautiful sunset or a flower and you’re compelled by it, eyes taking in every shimmer of the light or the grace of the forms.

Other times you have to hold back the need to take a picture of the fish in ice at 99 Ranch Market

Made a care package for my girlfriend's birthday.

Filled with treats and goodies like -

Cream Carbonara instant ramen

Snacks from 99 Ranch Market

Face wipes and hand lotion

"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" on blu-ray

Birthday cake oreos

- and more

Emblems were cut out with cardstock while the box itself was painted. Despite some ideas being cut from the finished product, not bad!

This part one in preparation for Spider-Man 2 coming out after her birthday. Her pre-order was secured by me!

I got this baby at a 99 Ranch Market. He was a small cutting in a 10" pot. He also moved with us to this house and that when I added the trellis.

Your plants don't have to look perfect, they go through tough time, like us. I did overwater him a bit in February and got sunburned on the lower part, but damn he is coming back strong. 💚 💪🏽

i come home on the first night of the rabbit year bearing two illicit packs of white rabbit candy and six dusty bags of gluttonous rice flour, which my mother needs for her niangao; and whose name i was proud to have recognised all by myself until, in a flash of doubt, i googled it anyway just to make sure, squatted there on the crusted tile of the great wall supermarket like a slightly anxious chinese american shrimp. i got it right the first time.

my mother starts the niangao then teaches me to fry dumplings. "i don't even know if they'll cook all the way through," she laughs, "i haven't done it this way in a long time." we put the lid on the pan and leave it to simmer; in the meantime, i pull out a math packet. there's a final tomorrow in multivariable calculus.

that's where i will take the candy, squirreled away in the crevices of my lunch bag, to distribute. the first time i brought candy to school a few adventurous white friends tried some. "you eat the paper," i instructed them. "no, not the wrapper. yes, it's edible, i promise." my chinese classmates chittered, and i was gently amused that these poor white children could not figure out what we at three or four had taken for given. they didn't like the texture, or found the taste of milk too strange in a chewy candy; my chinese classmates and i shared exasperated looks, bonding over what the americans would never understand.

at lunch i will peel tangerines for my friends. i peel my tangerines in spirals. pick at the rind in helixes that loop back and back around; when i get up to take the trash there is a pile of them, tangled, and the tangerine juice leaves stains under my nails, sticky, and when i wash my hands later the water will run a little orange. once i studied an ancient ode to the virtuous morality of tangerines. even the ancient chinese, i cackled, made self-insert ocs! tangerine and white lotus and bamboo and plum blossoms.

on the last night of the tiger year there were people who made niangao with gluttonous rice flour. there were people snacking on white rabbit like m&ms. there were people frying dumplings; people peeling tangerines; people who shopped at 99 ranch market, probably, instead of great wall, because they lived in california. they lived.

when i heard the news i stopped, well, i stopped dead for a moment and then i cried, hard, and then i went on. nothing will bring them back, those ten celebrators, those eaters of dumplings and niangao, those tangerines and white lotus and plum blossoms, the ten of them and the hundreds before them. i am a schoolgirl in america and a chinese girl in america and a queer girl in america and they are not the first ten and they are not the last ten, probably, and nothing will bring them back. we will protest and petition and donate and every time this happens there is a part of me that sighs in relief because it could have been my parents, or my grandparents, or my cousin who goes to school near monterey, or my friends in san diego and new york and fairfax who are american the way i am that is to say too much for our families and not enough for our countrymen, it could have been them and it wasn't.

the dumplings cook through after all, crispy and savoury with golden feet. there is just enough for dinner tonight. i'll make more tomorrow morning, i say, to take to lunch in a thermos. i'll remember to fry them a little extra, i like the burnt ones better. they don't look palatable but they taste better, like being six and bringing dumplings to lunch in a thermos. like being eight and peeling the rice paper to let it melt, flavourless on your tongue. like being seventeen and making it to the rabbit year alive.

the last dumpling tastes like burnt sugar. "WHO," i bellow with gleeful outrage, "PUT CHOCOLATE IN THIS DUMPLING." i know full well it's because we were out of white rabbits last night. there's a chinese tradition to put candies in a few of the new year dumplings. whoever gets a sweet dumpling will have good fortune for the whole year. happy new year says the dumpling. may you live with health and happiness. may the year bring peace and prosperity to us all.

99 Ranch Market, 2959 Chino Ave, Chino Hills, CA 91709

99 Ranch Market in Chino Hills has a broad selection of Asian (mostly Chinese) groceries, including Asian vegetables, tofu, snacks, fresh fish in tanks, frozen dumplings, noodles, spices, rice, etc. The meat department is staffed. They also have a deli with BBQ meat, dim sum, hot rice bowls, and made to order run-bing. They have sushi, prepared foods (e.g., steamed buns, Chinese rice tamales, cold dishes). BreadFarm, the in-store bakery, has baked buns, cakes, loaves of bread, cream puffs, and even milk tea. There’s a branch of East West Bank too.

The store seemed pretty clean though the fish department did smell. The vegetables were mostly packaged in plastic bags but reasonably priced. They had a fair amount of organic produce!

They carry Thanh Son Tofu, Mr. Froyo’s favorite!

My picks:

Thanh Son Tofu ($3.89)

Baby bok choy ($1.69/lb)

Pea sprouts ($2.49)

Parking was easy to find. They have a rewards program too.

I was curious about the other Galarian Ponyta merch out in the world, and seeing this Japanese-exclusive toy on eBay took me back in time! When I was a kid, at the height of the Pokémon craze of the 90s, my mom would gather us up and take us down to 99 Ranch Market to find imported Pokémon toys! So I got to relive my Pokémon childhood! Thank you @blueberrycat.collectibles ! 🥰 She’s sooooo tiny!! #pokemon #ponyta #galarianponyta #pokemontoys https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTmGMTPa3I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
