Man Fung Store

This well stocked shop is packed with curiosities (curious to a Westerners eyes at least). Produce ranges from red tofu in an eathenware jar to frozen dim sum pastry and an array of functional and decorative kitchenware.
A lot of the food is labelled in both English and Chinese, those goods which aren’t labelled in English can be translated by one of the friendly staff and unfamiliar food stuffs explained.
Most of the ingredients here are really cheap compared to supermarkets. The dried nuts, beans and fruit are particularly good value and I often buy my wolf berries here. Man Fung also stock a fantastic selection of Sake (rice wine), which I am rather partial to.
Top tip: Good place to get presents for your foody friends, as a lot of the packaging is beautiful and the produce unusual.
Man Fung Store is open Monday-​Sunday late.

A small but well-​stocked Chinese supermarket, split across two rooms so if you glance in the window you’ll think it’s only half the size it actually is. I pop here all the time for cooking sauces, it has a great range and is generally a bit cheaper, as well as having a more interesting range, than somewhere like Tesco.
There are a lot of snack and novelty items– Pocky (biscuit sticks with different flavours of chocolate on– very nice with coffee), all sorts of different nuts and strange seaweed snacks. You can buy things like noodles in bulk.
To be honest I would personally avoid some of the frozen meats here, especially the seafood stuff– not because I think it’s dodgy, but because a lot of the stuff stocked here doesn’t have any English cooking instructions on it and I’d be scared of poisoning myself by cooking something wrongly but that’s just me being cowardly. As long as you’re not a coward, and you like Chinese food, then this is a great place to get what you need for Chinese cooking at home. Enjoy.
