Capalaba Central


Found a new (not new, but new to me) Asian supermarket in Capalaba Central the other day. It's just near the external entrance, if you park near the cinemas. Unfortunately I was too excited to actually take note of the shop's NAME, but they could just let it be known as All Awesome, All The Time.
They had stuff that I've only ever seen before in the Valley or Sunnybank. They've got every variety of dried noodle you could imagine, 5-kilo bags of jasmine rice, every instant noodle under the sun, and a good range of crockery, woks, wok spoons, ceramic gear and chopsticks. They also have the Pokka imported canned drinks, a huge freezer stuffed full of frozen wontons and seafood and who knows what else, a fridge with fresh herbs, greens, lemongrass stalks, tofu (both silken and firm), dried sardines, cumin-flavoured and spicy poppadoms, seaweed galore, those organic green tea soba noodles, about nine different varieties of Japanese dry rice seasoning, sauces out the wazoo, as well as lots of multicultural gear like pomegranate syrup, New Zealand canned drinks, rosewater and whatever you can shove in a can and stack on a shelf.
I was most impressed. I accidentally bought a whole pile of stuff. It's all in the cupboard now, awaiting its moment of glory.
