I also saw rambutan and durian in the produce section (instead of the freezer). I just thought I'd let everyone know. Shun Fat Supermarket is in Monterey Park on Atlantic Blvd, between Hellman Ave and Garvey Ave. Its in the same center as the new Yum Cha Cafe.

They're in the "display o' weird fruits" section directly past the bakery as you walk in.

We also shop at Asian grocery stores in Westminster, around Little Saigon.

That said, I'll buy sealed goods pretty much anywhere. Sun Sep 09 15:38:29 -0700 2007 2923148 10811 Das Ubergeek 1 2925416 Recently I saw fresh Rambutan at Trader Joes and they didn't look good. Haven't seen them since. Not sure if there is a really good reason you can't get fruit from Thailand, Vietnam etc. I would love to be able to buy Rambutan, Dragon Fruit, Mangosteens etc. I still have to make the trip to buy the Indian Mangoes.
