Shopping: Absolutely Asian Groceries

Shopping:Absolutely Asian Groceries
531 Marion Road
South Plympton

From the outside you would be fooled into thinking this shop would have little to offer other than some deep fried spring rolls and perhaps Western style sweet and sour pork drying in the bain-marie... how wrong!
Although not a traditionally Asian shopping area of Adelaide, this shop has become a welcoming stop for locals. Easy access without the fighting for a parking spot, make the perfect stop on the way home.

Recently, they have expanded their range of take-away foods. Still carrying the fantastic laksa that made me a regular customer while living in Adelaide, they now also have a HUGE range of great take-away. Green Chicken Curry, Phad Thai, Fresh Spring Rolls, Thom Yum Soup... the list goes on.

The fresh Asian veggies are fantastic to find, and saves the shopping trip fighting the large crowds at Central Markets!

A huge range of dry goods are available. Conveniently, they have generally separated all goods according to countries they are from. Japan, China, India etc. Even Korean foods are available!While paying for my yummy treasures, I am so pleased with the friendliness and idle chit chat that always takes place here. Locals come and go, grabbing the paper, kids come in for an ice cream, and an elderly Chinese lady reaches for some unidentifiable frozen goods. Somehow, the staff know most everyone that comes in either by name or face ....everyone is acknowledged with a friendly hello.
