Go down towards foot of the walk, on the right hand side just past post office/scotmid.

Me too - I never go up to Birmingham but Worcester would be ideal!

Hi Skint_Catt

There used to be one in Worcester - down the side street between Debenhams and WHSmith....not sure if it's still there, but worth checking out!

We go to Wing Yip in Manchester, I love it, always get the 2L bottles of their own brand Soy and Oyster sauces, they're so much better and a lot cheaper than supermarket/brand ones, but my latest favorite thing for the freezer was a large bag of frozen peeled garlic cloves

Someone mentioned that it is possible to request for a day pass at cash and carry. Even though I'm not in trade would they actually issue me one? I really do hope so, I would love to visit one.

Hi guys

I go to oriental city in Colindale, right next door to a massive ASDA. The food is amazing quality, and so much cheaper. I bought a 5litre bottle of distilled malt vinegar (the white one) for cleaning and all sorts of other things for £2.20 and it's been that cheap for ages now, I regularly buy from them and everything is so much cheaper there.

Then there is Wing Yip, 10 minutes in the other direction, on the way to Cricklewood, just after LIDL and just before Iceland, and then there is hundreds of good asian supermarkets in Harrow which is also a 20 minute bus ride away. So loads of bargains to be had.

Cheers
Casper

In Reading there is a good one at 15, Craddock Road RG2 OJT called SeeWoo. We had frozen peking duck the other day £3.25 for half a duck and it tasted great and about a qurter of the price of that charged by local takeaway. The pastry that goes with the peking duck was £2.80 for 100 plus.

That's the one i use! I will have to look out for the duck in the freezer as i've never spotted that before. Tend to avoid the meat freezer as i'm not a fan of chicken feet and ears!!

I live in Kent, but it would be around a 50 minute drive to Wing Yip in Croydon, does anyone know of a closer Chinese supermarket? Thanks.

Wasn't that supposed to be demolished in the near future?

Though not much closer there is one in Brixton and in Camberwell. I have been to both and also the Wing Yip in Croydon. The Wing Yip has a much bigger selection.

Maybe you could combine it with a trip to Ikea for the 21% sale on Saturday. They are just down the road from each other.

There are a couple in leeds that are great, , although sometimes it helps to get a staff member to tell you exactly what an item is, I still wouldnt know what to do with frozen fish lips. Although the frozen turtles are delicious.
