Mr Cheng’s

Who can resist a tag-​line like «Stay slim, eat Asian»? Especially when we all know it’s true. Asian groceries are in my top ten favourite places to hang out at. Having spent a few years in various parts of Asia I’d love to claim to know all the brands and products but even with my depth of experience and local knowledge (*cough*) the ratio of surprises to familiar brands is always about 90:1.
Mr Cheng’s is a meta-​Asian grocery, clearly beckoning to a less adventurous demographic than myself– people who love Asian food but would never buy a squishy packet of green stuff with no English on the packet (that’s my favourite by the way, you should try it).
And best of all, Mr Cheng’s doesn’t limit itself to one country, with delicacies from Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia etc and if you do one adventurous foodie thing in your life, go there right now, buy some fresh tempeh, fry that shit up (or follow one of Mr Cheng’s recipes), and drool as you eat.
