    Hey guys,

    So Treat is changing for the worst and they lack anything I need anymore. I’ve been cooking a lot recently and I’m now looking for more Ethnic supermarkets.

    I’ve heard about the Indian supermarkets in Chengdu, but has anyone seen a Japanese or Korean supermarket? I don’t mean like one of the big department stores like Ito Yokado, but smaller shops that sell harder-to-get ingredients for example: Kosari

    Agreed – I was looking for chocolate and beer in there the other day, they have less selection and much higher prices than Carrefour.

    What kind of changes? I think Treat specializes in imported (Western) items. My impression is that their selection of imported products is much greater than Carrefour, which is good, but still restricted to a pretty small area.

    I’m sure its been touched on before, but where are the Indian supermarkets? I want to pick up some garam masala and cardamom pods.

    At the 2nd ring road which crosses with Ren Min nan lu there is a Wang Fujin mall. At the first floor in the back is a big supermarket which sells a lot of spices. It’s slightly more expensive than Trustmart, but they have more choice.

    But I recall there being an actual indian grocer here.

    Small Korean supermarkets, definitely….. There at least used to be one near Jiuyanqiao and I know of one near Gaoshengqiao (will look up address later) I have also seen small Vietnamese shops, though they usually had only candy/dried stuff and toiletries. Japanese would be tougher. Might try asking at one of the Japanese restaurants in town.

    SS, I would love you if you got me the addresses to the Korean and Viet ones. I don’t blame you about not being able to find Japanese ones in Chengdu.

    Ha, totally forgot about this topic until the maintenance glitches caused me to check my account activity.

    Korean: 高升桥南街8号附9号

    There is a Thai/Viet one on Jiao Da road, opposite the gate of the university. 抚琴西路新4号附6号 is the address on the card, which does not really match the location…so think it is another branch of the same shop.

    Oh, and there is a Japanese one, near the Japanese Friendship Centre south of the consulate.
