There was an Asian food market in Hilo but it didn't last long as I knew it wouldn't. You would think it would have lasted since there are many Asians living here but you can't group all Asians together. The ones living here are mostly Japanese, Chinese and Filipino who have been here for generations. These people don't really go for exotic type foods that you mentioned. They just stick to buying the food in the local supermarket Asian food aisles.
