danswayne Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Found a store that beats the K & S hands down. Diana and I went to the K & S and it was ok but we found a much better one by accident on the corner of Bell Road and Old Murfreesboro Road that smelled much cleaner and had things we have not seen anywhere else before even in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It is right next door to a Good Will store and has many things to choose from. Trigg and Mick should give it a try. Link to comment
Robert S. Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't know if the smell in Asian food stores is from a lack of cleanliness, it could be just from where a bottle of fish sauce got broken or one of those other weird bottles of stuff, then you got the smell of the seaweed, the fruit, the funky smell of some of the green vegetables, the smell coming from the live fish tanks, the smells coming from the fish market area, combined with the smell of the duck roasting, bread baking, meats being cut up, giant pork skins cooking in oil, and huge piles of garlic and onions emanating major smells, all these combined together provide an olfactory experience that makes you glad that your nose is 40,000 times less keen than a bloodhound.

danswayne Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 It is my wife the asian that complains about the smell of certain asian stores we visit sometimes. She does not like the smell of certain ones here just like she did not like the smell or look of certain ones in Changsha. Of course both her parents are doctors and have always been extra careful about some things even from a Chinese perspective. Link to comment
Trigg Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hey Dude, great info. We will have to try it. do you know the name of the place. I'm not sure where Bell Rd intersects old Murfreesboro Rd. Is that south of the city like near 100 oaks mall?? Link to comment
Mick Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Sounds great Dan. Will give it a try. How about directions off I-65? Link to comment
danswayne Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Here is the link to the store on MSN Yellow Pages. Asian Store Link to comment
Mick Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks Dan. Will check it out in the near future. Never can have too many Chinese food stores. Link to comment
Trigg Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I checked out the map and know excactly where that is. Hmmmm, seems like we are getting a growing chinese population-maybe our next national get together needs to ne in TN. Either that or we can soon start our own street gang. Link to comment
James Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Count me in on the street gang. Clarksville here. Has anybody been to a Chinese church in Nashville? It is Baptist, I think. I'm not Baptist but I suppose it's a good way to meet Chinese people. Link to comment
danswayne Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Went to a Chinese Church of Christ on Sunday that meets in the Natchez Trace Building. Right next to Vanderbilt on Natchez Trace and Blakemore. Link to comment
James Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 What was it like? I will have to check that out. I grew up in the Church of Christ, so I know the territory, but I do not go to church anymore. Link to comment
danswayne Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Diana says it is similar to house groups in China. The people were real nice and welcoming. About 30 or 40 people who share a building with the Natchez Trace Church of Christ, there are a few American people and some of them even speak Chinese so good you would think they really were Chinese.
