I highly recommend the Kam Man shop down in Quincy.
One side is a big food market and the other side is a big stuff market.
In between there is a corridor of shops that sell everything from bubble teas to bamboo stalks.
The best find in the market side are the Japanese tea cups with erotic designs printed on them.

I love tiffin boxes too. They are perfect for dinner on the roof!
THANKS LVS! I had NO idea that show was in Quincy… I think I may take a run down there today!
And thanks Penny… I am not familiar with either of those sites!
Ooh… now I’m psyched to do a little Bento shopping and assembling!
KCRW’s Good food podcast did a piece on Bento extreme last night. If you go to these lengths we insist on photos!
