Looking for head-shrimp? Or perhaps you feel like your condiment shelf could use a kick. Curious about what durian really tastes like? Shuang Hur is the spot for adventurous eaters to go for a culinary adventure, or those looking for a reasonable price on hard-to-find ingredients.
Best place to get rice, soba, and pocki in the cities.
All hail the changing face of the Twin Cities--a wonderful new world where we can get tamarind as easily as we can get walleye.

Sometimes we come here just to watch the lobsters and crabs and fish in their tanks and listen to snatches of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. This place is as enormous as it is exotic.
