    Has anyone tried the Barbecue pork type stuff they sell at the till in the warehouse bit? looks lovely.
    Do they sell chicken pieces in there somewhere, i found pigs heads and stuff.

    Noticed, whilst browsing the aisles that they sold fish snouts, anybody know what they are or what they taste like?

    Oh, I will look tomorrow when I am in. They do sell some things that we consider weird, like chicken feet, but hey ho, each to their own I suppose :)

    I thought they misspelt LOO.......


    I also was in Asia supermarket holding a list and a polish girl came up to me and asked if she could help. I asked her for 'x' and she found it in no time. Then to my surprise she asked What's next on the list. Before I knew it she had me by the arm marching round the ailes and in a few minutes basket was full and everything bought. She knew her stuff and even explained what items were the same, but only written in Chinese. Now that's service;)

    I think I found the same lady as you, she's fab at sorting out what you need! She might become my new helper in the Asia supermarket as that's twice in the past 2 weeks she's found things for me. Oh and I wrote directions up for someone via pm who needed help in finding the Supermarkets. If anyone else needs the same, just shout. Likewise with ingredients, I'll help if I can :)

    Did you try the pork things in the warehouse or notice chicken pieces anywhere?

    I'll assume you didn't risk the fish snouts :D

    Nope and nope to all of the above :)
    Didn't have much time when I was last there so it was a quick dive in and out.

    OK, enough with the chicken feet suggestions, please :o

    Can we change the discussion to less yucky things that are available in the Chinese supermarket?
