Specialty Food Stores
(Last updated 2/3/10)
I picked these shops because they have at least one of the three following factors: my own positive experience, recommendations from chefs I worked with and/or consistent positive feedback I’ve seen in SEA food community. Therefore, this might not be not comprehensive, but hopefully will make up in quality what it lacks in quantity. I will be continuing to add to this on a regular basis.
The map color code gives you main cuisine available, but the location may offer more. Click on the map icon for details on the location and any notes I added about my own experience there. Eventually I will list these out in text on this page too but I am but a mortal and I have to sleep sometimes even though I'd rather compute.
