    With regards to Asian, there are 2 excellent Chinese supermarkets in Glasgow. My favourite one is SeeWoo (google for address, it's a short hop from the M8). The other one is Chinatown Groceries, only ever been to their restaurant (a few times, always excellent), again quite close to the M8.
  • I just today found a new one - kinda out of the way - think towards Calder-way: 36 Inglis-Green EH142ER

    It's called Matthews foods. Its huge and has a great selection at typical prices. Upstairs is a chinese restaurant that claims to "specialise" in Dim Sum.. the reason they specialise in it, I don't doubt, is because they sell a LOT of frozen dumplings downstairs - easily the best selection I've found around.

    They also have a decent-sized carpark that is readily accessible. SO if you're out that way anyway or live nearby, this is a great option for you :)

    I read about that place the other day on this blog: http://edinburghfoody.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/edinburghs-best-kept-secret-matthews-foods/

    Sounds great, will take the bus out there for a look especially as they stock indian and thai ingredients as well.

    Anybody know of any Asian foodstores in the Falkirk/Stirling area where Thai ingredients could be bought?
