Khorat Alternatives to The Mall?

[mrjohn]

Does anyone know of any other shops in Khorat city that sell international food?

The last time I was in The Mall Food Market, there were 2 or 3 items I needed that were out of stock.


Incidentally, I know about Tesco and Big C and we always go to Makro anyway. But they just sell the usual stuff.


I was just wondering if there might be any other shops to go for less common ingredients.

Thanks for any advice.

One thing I always used to get at the Mall was Flora but all the supermarkets in Korat seem to have stopped stocking it now, which is a shame because there is no similar alternative, the so called soft butter is still far to hard to spread when taken out of the fridge.

I will look in Bangkok the next time I go.

^They sell a soft spread in Macro next to the cheese. I didn't like it myself but each to their own. 'Mrjohn' what foods are you in need of? There's a guy living near Nong Ki, Buriram Province, who does runs to Pattaya and brings food stuffs back and then distributes them around the area. Korat included so I believe. He goes by the nic of 'Nookiebear' and post on local forums.

Nothing in particular actually, but the last time I was there they were out of whole-wheat bread flour and Chinese soy sauce, neither of which are available in conventional Thai supermarkets.

As a “guest” of the government I am forced to go to Khorat city every 90 days, so I do try and make the trip count by doing some shopping for the sort of things I cannot buy in my own the sleepy little town.

I also do a trip down to Pattaya around twice a year, during which time I make use of the facilities and stock up on the specialist goodies which are only available there…….

So I am pretty well organised, but just wanted to know that, if I find myself on my 3 monthly trip to Khorat and The Mall cannot fulfil my needs, are there any other shops that sell farang ingredients?

Chinese soy sauce,

Quite a few are available at the main supermarkets. It's a case of looking in the right place. Here's the name of the manufacturer I use

Ajinomoto

Not connected in anyway. Both have excellent products.
