Nice grocery store for Indian style foods and spices. Prices are pretty reasonable. The range of…read moreitems is fairly extensive, overall quality of food and cleanliness is better than most Indian style grocers. Keep an eye on use by dates though as a couple of items were out of date recently.

Clean, well laid out and full of things I've never seen before and a lot i have. It also has a…read moretakeaway food section with hot dumplings and all manner of things. I've only been in here twice now, both times to get the same thing. Couldn't find it at the normal supermarkets or anywhere else I normally go so I tried here and bingo, they new exactly what I wanted and where it was in the shop, and at a decent price as well. What was it I was after your probably asking yourself about now, well I'll tell you, even though there may be a real danger of causing a stampede to all the Asian supermarkets. But first there is the obligatory story to read, enjoy..... My sister introduced me to these on a recent day trip to Mount Martha, we stopped at the service station and shops on citylink for some brunch and at one of these shops they had beans or edamame as a substitute to chips. Well I decided to give them a go on her recommendation and we bought a tub of beans and a tub of edamame, we then sprinkled some Himalyan salt on them and devoured the lot. I preferred the edamame over the beans, they were also fun to squeeze out of their pods so I have been looking for them in shops ever since. So here I am ready to explore another bunch of new experiences in food from my local Asian supermarket, I can't wait. What are edamame you ask, they are soybean pods, who'd have thought it. Boil them up, add a little salt and get squeezing,Yum.

Wine tastings on Friday evenings, great grog selection, awesome quick meals to take home and eat…read more Very friendly and helpful staff especially for what is a very busy post office and general store/cellars. They always stock essentials for tourists having picnics, such as cheese boards, small goods, bread, rolls etc. Comprehensive range of wines, with a good selection of beer and ciders. You can even deposit and withdraw cash here. Excellent hours for a Post Office. A great place to pick up your parcels at a time convenient to you.

As a supermarket, Maxi Foods sits somewhere between a regular supermarket and a specialty market…read more Stocking your regular staples you can pick up your usual shopping here, including fresh fruit and veg, and meat and even alcohol in the liquor section. What I like about Maxi is the odd items you wont find at Coles. The cereal section for instance is a do-it-yourself affair, where you pick and choose form open canisters and fill up your bag of muesli or cereal by weight. The shelves too are quite industrial, and it gives the place a warehouse feel that most city stores would consider boutique.

This place is brilliant. Huge selection of foods hard to find elsewhere. If you're vegan, this…read moreplace is a paradise, they have everything you want!

I love checking out NQR every now and then for the completely random range of items they stock…read more Although you cant bet on finding a winner every time, I usually leave with a swag of food, whether it be favourites for a discounted price, or something I haven't seen before that grabs my attention. Great for if you are having a party and need to stock up on finger food and dips etc, as the stuff is ready to eat and you'll save a bunch of great food that people are most likely going to devour whilst drunk. Basically, if you don't know how it works, NQR get regular brands of food, drinks, groceries and alcohol and sell them really cheap. These are brands you'll know of that might only have a month left on the expiry, or wound up here because they weren't selling well. However they get here is none of my business, all I'm concerned about is the fun of finding bizarre food items and buying them.
