Big production supermarkets and grocery stores such as H-E-B, Costco, Randalls, and Whole Foods are packed right now. Due to high demand for groceries as well as implementing social distancing rules, many of the supplies you are looking for may be sold out. Luckily for Austin residents, there are many smaller, local and less-busy grocery stores, supermarkets, and more that are still offering essential supplies such as household goods, meals, produce, etc.

Pandemic was truly a devastating experience, in every business and in every household. Where my most favorite Korean Grocery Store hasn’t been available for quite some time, too. However, quarantine time was the best time to take enough rest and be with the family longer. It was also the best time where I started cooking some of my favorite Asian recipes. Also, the time when online Asian groceries become my favorite.
