But if I learnt to cook well, went to a Chinese/Korean/Thai/Japanese cooking class I bet I'd find all the ingredients I need here. I walked down the stairs and felt like I was in a foreign land - blonde and blue eyes I stood out like a sore thumb. A bit of a stickler for looking at ingredients on packaging I need to befriend someone who reads Chinese/Japanese/Cantonese/Mandarine so that I know what I'm buying exactly. Perhaps I should start learning to cook first! They stock everything from fresh fruit and vegetables with a range of Chinese vegetables, noodles, sauces, condiments, frozen dim sum, snack foods, iced teas and drinks.

Okay, so, thing the first: CHEAP-ASS FRUIT & VEG. We're talking $1.99kg tomatoes, $2.50kg cucumbers, $1.20 bunches of coriander, $1.50 bundles of delicious garlic shoots that I've only just learned how to cook, and every kind of almost-costs-more-not-to-buy-them bok choys, choy sums, and about a billion other variant of the same. I buy all my fresh schtuff here now, way cheaper than Coles & Woolies and really good quality. Freezers, entire freezers, of dumplings! Welcome to the promised land, son. Pre-packed, wafer-thin beef and pork rolls to drop into your instant ramen noodles, millions of soy and oyster sauces, billions of chilli oils, gummis, Poki, bamboo shoots, it's happy hour at the freaking flavour factory and you've got the golden ticket. Of course, at least half of this place is things that I don't recognise and will probably never try (read: weird, so weird) but I try one new thing every time I come here. Doesn't always pay off, but 1 in 3 times it does. Like the chilli oil with cured pork chunks that's now my new favourite condiment, holler. Just don't buy the garlic that's imported from China - it's bleached, and the girl at Cornersmith Picklery told me it goes bright blue when pickled, naaaasty.

Miracle is a specialist Asian supermarket, you see, and my Japanese is about as good as my glass-blowing. It's a cinch to blow a curious hour in here poking around all the strange and mysterious foodstuffs. There are jars of slime, tins of translucent things that looks like eyeballs, freezers full of exotic dumplings and giblets, painfully cute Asian lollies, cans of bizarre milk, steaming devices and bottles of what I think are chilies, although there's no real way to be certain. Want to surprise a know-it-all foodie? Need to delight friends with your worldliness? Looking for the perfect mystery gift for a friend's birthday? This place is your huckleberry. And look, after mentioning "wizard" in the very first sentence I got through that entire review without a single Harry Potter referen-- . . . oh. Bugger.

There's not many of them really left now, and they wouldn't schlep down to the corner store in their thongs and footy shorts for discount Wednesday I don't think.

I put in a request for Vitasoy chocolate and Dr.Pepper and now they actually stock them! Another bonus is the seniors discount they offer in Tuesday's. Senior citizens make up a large part of Mosmans population so it's nice to see a Grocery store helping them out. There is also a members club card which donates a portion of the money you spend to a charity of your choosing. The staff are all helpful and friendly, if you can't find something on the shelves they will always check out the back. Look out for the guy who stocks the tissues in the first aisle, he's quite a character!

Think I'd pass on the fresh vegetable section, which sits out on Military Road and looks like it has worn the exhaust fumes just a little too long, but inside it's like being back in Chinatown ... a wealth of Asian ingredients and flavours that you can't find in Coles. I'm not a fan of Asian sweets, but there are plenty of those on the checkout counter, and some of those odd sweet/savoury mixes that seem to be so popular there. Plus rice in large quantities and a choice of ice cream flavours from durian to red bean.

So I hop skip it out of Woolies and end up here, Passing the "fresh" selection of veggies out the front, I made my way in and as a very white male, had no idea where to start. My deer-in-headlights look must've been obvious because the shop keeper came out from behind the counter and asked if he cold help. I rattled off my list of ingredients while he scoured the store and came back with everything I needed - some with multiple options! I also walked out with a solid collection of tea, enough rice to feed a small nation and some vegan ice cream. Since then, I've been back a number of times and always have a brilliant experience.
