Growing up, I recall fondly our family road trips to Orlando. After a day in the theme parks, my dad would take us all in the minivan and make our way up I-4 to downtown Orlando’s Mills 50 district, home to the largest concentration of Asian-American businesses, restaurants and markets in Florida. I remembered my dad pointing out the hanging roast duck and crispy roast pork in the windows at the local markets, ordering a few pounds to go, as well as bags of Thai basil, mint and other produce you couldn’t get at the local Publix at the time.
