Herbs N Food

This is the place to go to if you’re looking for traditional chinese medicine and herbs. My dad is a firm believer in chinese medicine so he would usually get his supply of chinese herbs and boil it at home. Just approach the man behind the counter and tell him what illness you have and he’ll prescribe you a blend of herbs to boil at home though most likely it’ll be bitter and difficult to drink.
I was surprised to also discover that Herbs and Food have also expanded to a mini supermarket as you can purchase various dry goods such as honey and biscuits. They also have hampers on offer to send to people as gifts. I also like to browse the pre packed herbs for boiling herbal soup so you’ll be able to find a bak kut teh packet all pre packed at below RM10. This is convenient for people who don’t want to buy a lot of herbs just for boiling a small pot of soup. The store does smell quite a bit of herbs and it isn’t really pleasant but its not overwhelming.
Unfortunately parking here is a pain so I would suggest getting someone to drop you off as it will take ages to find parking.

It was a really really really hot afternoon even by Malaysia standards. My girl friend needed to pick up some Chinese herbal stuff for her brother who was slightly ill. We did not know where to get the herbs from and hence we request assistance from our best friend — Google!
Based on the results shown by Google, Herbs N Food was the one that we chose because of its proximity to where we live and there were good reviews about it regarding the stock and customer service.
While my girl friend was busy figuring out the list of stuff to get for her brother, I was exploring the shop as this is one of the very few times that I have been in a herb store. Besides the herb stuff, this store also sells almost all things that you can find in a convenience store. Also, as Chinese New Year was just around the corner, there was a lot of hampers on sale and display.

My brother was ill. So, I was tasked by my mum to look after him and by that, I was requested to get some Chinese herbs /​herbal drinks for him. Upon my mum’s instructions, I’ve gotten him herbs to be boiled and drank which according to mum were supposed to «cool down» the heat in his body and I’ve also gotten him some herbal drinks that were meant to boost his immune system alongside bottles of 100 plus which were meant to keep him hydrated. We’ve also gotten a big bottle of 100 plus for ourselves too due to the scorching hot weather.
The shopkeepers were not very warm, unlike the weather in Malaysia. When I asked about the herbs, they simply point me the direction to get them without asking any questions or giving any advice on it.
The shop was very well kept. There weren’t much of the weird smell that Chinese herbal shops usually have. This Herbs N Food that we went to was very big and spacious. I would have like to explore more of what other stuff do they sell if we weren’t rushing for time.
