New Hanover market offers Asian fare
Elisabeth Ericson / The Dartmouth Sonny Kung '11 used to travel to Dartmouth with three days' worth of Chinese food from New York to sustain his cravings for Asian food, but the opening of Yiping's Asian Market in downtown Hanover may put an end to this ritual. "I'm excited to be able to cook with stuff I know how to cook with, instead of just boiling pasta," Kung said. The lack of local Asian food supplies was also an inconvenience to the store's owners, Russ and Yiping Weed, who had to procure Asian ingredients from a market in Manchester. "There is an Asian market in Lebanon, but it's more of an Indian grocery," Russ said. Yiping's Asian Market stocks Chinese dry and frozen goods, in addition to a smattering of Japanese sweets and some Korean and Indian items.
