mrjohn Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 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.

happylarry Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 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. HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) ^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. Edited March 23, 2014 by sinbin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjohn Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 'Mrjohn' what foods are you in need of? 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?

sinbin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 'Mrjohn' what foods are you in need of? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
