Asian Supermarket Food Box
Some of my favourite food comes from South East Asia, especially in the summer. It could be because the time I mispent in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and India was always very hot, so when it's hot in Europe I suddenly feel like eating noodles, chillies and stir fried green vegetables.
There's only one place in within a hundred km from where I live where you can buy the right ingredients. That would be the Angkor Store in Bonneville. It caters mostly to the region's few and far between Asian restaurants.
I loved the way the packing was done. Such a sustainable method. I'd bought a box o' stuff, and the lovely lady (whose mum and dad run the shop) packed it up so expertly. As she was running my jars through the till she asked me if I knew what my jar of Pickled Gouramy Fish was for. It was obviously the most disgusting thing in the world to her, but her dad explained to me that it's OK with vegetables, but I'd probably hate it. In fact he didn't even want me to buy it. But I bought it anyway. Along with all this other great stuff. And all this for EUR 40!
