I was searching for a couple of Thai ingredients and some wok implements and went to Tai Ping in Beach Rd Downtown Auckland. The people there were extremely helpful and the store has a large selection of Asian ingredients, both fresh and dry goods. Unfortunately, no cassia bark or mace or fresh turmeric which to date I have not been able to find anywhere.
I'm pretty sure I've seen cassia bark and mace for sale at the dry goods section of Asian supermarkets. I'll keep an eye out next time. I've spotted fresh turmeric for sale both at the Avondale Market and at the La Cigale market in Parnell, though I haven't been looking for it recently. I've made a list of some things I've seen here: http://nomnompanda.blogspot.co.nz/p/where-in-auckland-do-i-buy.html
ReplyDeleteThe only place I've seen fresh galangal is in Wellington though, so do let me know if you find out where you can get it in Auckland!
Hey thanks. I'll keep an eye out.
