Where Can I Find

anyone know where i might be able to find some tahini??

I had to laugh a little when I read this....I was just looking for it last week to make up some hummus. Villa Market at the Avenue has two different brands and both are on the expensive side. If I remember correctly one is Bt 250 and the other was over 300. Not sure of the size but I would consider the container on the medium side, maybe 6-8 oz.

If you are making hummus you might try searching the net for hummus without tahini, most substitute sesame seeds which can be slighly roasted/fried in a frying pan and then added to the recipe....much cheaper and available everywhere. We made up some naan bread and cooked on a griddle...also much cheaper than the stores and in my opinion even better.

Sorry, got carried away....

you may try the soi opposite Soi Diana (crossing 2nd road, next to the school). There is an Indian grocery store about 50 m into the soi on the right hand side.

While I haven't looked for it I suggest trying Makro, large spice section, baking section and foreign food section,

Although MAKRO has a very good range of spices unfortunately they don't have Tahini....unless it is hidden on another aisle somewhere in the store. I searched every aisle and may have missed it.

The info on the Indian supermarket is good, will have to check that out.
