Chinese cultural center

Living in Phoenix, Arizona is a lot more diverse than I imagined.  Although this state is predominantly Hispanics, like any major big city, if you take the time to explore it, you'll be amazed at what you will find.  So far, I've been to the aloha festival (celebrating the Polynesian culture ), the Japanese friendship garden, and the tamale festival ( Hispanic food fest as well as arts and crafts) just to name a few places and now, just a few blocks away from the Phoenix sky harbor airport, I checked out the Chinese cultural center.
       Surrounded by beautiful ponds filled with tadpoles, koi fish and turtles as well as memorials and amazing architect, lays the Chinese cultural center, A plaza filled with different stores,  restaurants, a market and places that specializes in Chinese and Asian cultures.   The last place I stopped at was the Super L ranch market for a late lunch.
   This is definitely one of the better Asian market I've been to,  finding everything I'm pretty accustomed to all in one store.  There's 2 places to eat in here,  a bakery for all your sweet tooth desires  and a lunch deli selling everything from plate lunches, to noodle soups and roasted meats such as duck and Chinese roast pork.  I ordered the shrimp won ton noodle soup and a side of shrimp fried rice . At least a half dozen of plump pork and shrimp stuffed won ton accompanied by a heaping of noodles, warm broth and won bok cabbage.  The fried rice with shrimp was pretty authentic to me  too and tasted like the fried rice I got back home in Hawaii and wasn't Americanized like most Chinese restaurants.  My belly agrees with me as well  haha . I'll definitely come back later and explore the Chinese cultural center again and do a bit more shopping and eating as well
