From Asia to Coral Gables

Staff

Hanna & Tiger offers Asian snacks, ingredients, drinks, and more

Miami’s diverse population has contributed to the city’s wide breadth of cuisines in restaurants across the city, including Asian food. But getting the products to make a dish like Chow Mein or Kung Pao Chicken is not as easy as you think. Cities on the West Coast like Los Angeles and San Francisco have a plethora of Asian grocery stores, giving people access to snacks, sauces, and spices from across the Pacific. Coral Gables, on the other hand, does not enjoy the same privilege – until now.

This Asian grocery store is packed to the ceiling with authentic snacks and cooking ingredients.

With two other locations already in Miami, Hanna & Tiger Asian Mart opened the doors of their Coral Gables location in March. In the snack aisles, you’ll find goodies typically only sold in Asia. Some are from companies the average would American recognize but sold in a flavor previously unheard of, such as prawn abalone-sauce Lays chips or matcha-flavored Kit-Kats. Others have labels incomprehensible to those who don’t know kanji – but luckily feature lots of pictures. From spicy Buldaki ramen to chocolate Pocky sticks, mochi ice cream, and soju (a rice-based alcohol), Hanna & Tiger offers a range of snack options, as well as ingredients to cook an authentic meal from various Asian cuisines. There are rows of thinly sliced meat for hot pot, ramen imported from Japan, sticky rice cakes, frozen dim-sum, and more. And for those looking to start their journey into the world of Asian cooking, the store’s website contains recipes written by their staff featuring ingredients sold at the store. – Maya Rego
