RANDOM SWAP - *COMPLETED*

[CottonTALE]

There's surprisingly a big asian community in London. We have 2 asian supermarkets (one in the north-end and one in the west-end) and alot of asian-themed stores too. I usually frequent the anime shoppe called Neo-Tokyo and they offer lots of flavours of pocky and other Japanese sweets like Ramune, Nerunerunerune and wasabi gumballs (they sound weird, but they actually taste good!)

But the one asian supermarket I go to mainly sells fresh fish still swimming in the tank, they will clean and cut them for you to your specifications, and they sell lots of other asian foods like bao-buns (I lived off of these in my fall-semester finals) and rice is uber cheap there too! I got nearly a 20 lb. bag of rice for 10 bucks and it has lasted me for the entire school year and then some.

That sounds something that I would love! Many arrays of shops and sites to see! As much as I love sea food, I'm not a big fan on some of the smells that linger past the door and the gust of wind that blows it in face. xD

I love Ramune soda - especially the muscat and melon flavors

Mmm what's that kind of Japanese soda that you drop the glass ball into? That stuff is good.

Ramune! I didn't like it though, but all I've tried is the regular flavor which tastes too much like liquified cheap bubblegum. Maybe I should try other flavors. They've got cool bottles, though.

The bottles are super cool . And there are tons of flavored if you can find them!

How about some curry flavored ramune? terayaki or chillie oil?

Omg this thread. LOL!

Sent hubbs to check the mail today and he came back empty-handed.

As for the foreign foods discussion, I sadly have very little experience with such things.

Oh, I love getting that from World Market. I was so sad when my local one closed. I don't have access to all those off the wall candies. 

These are one of my favorite cookies. I wish they weren't so hard to find.

When you guys talk about World Market are you talking about this http://www.worldmarket.com/category/food-and-drink/food/candy-chocolate.do?sortby=ourPicksAscend&pp=192?

They used to sell koala cookies like that here when I was a kid.  I don't know if they are the same but I freakin' loved them.  They have another kind here now that has a strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavor.  The chocolate ones are as good but the vanilla ones are.
