It made me incredibly happy to see many familiar Asian foods in this market. Being thousands of…read moremiles away from home, this market provided me with all the components necessary for making my favorite Filipino dishes.
My goal during my last visit was to pick up a few Filipino ingredients. Although, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean ingredients and specialty foods are also sold at Asia Mekong: Sauces and spices, dried seaweed wrappers, assortments of bagged and loose leaf teas, oodles of noodles, and frozen dumplings (give em a try; they're surprisingly good for being frozen!) can all be found. Even freshly made packaged foods like Kimchi are available for purchase in the refrigerator section.
What I especially enjoy about Asia Mekong are the familiar brands carried. I was fortunate to had discovered Spring Home brand egg roll wrappers, bottles of Datu Puti vinegar, and packages super sweet Philippine Dried Mangoes.
Prices are reasonable, I believe, especially if you're on a tight budget; though, fresh foods do cost a little more.
Service at Asia Mekong is efficient and friendly. They deliver some of the best customer service I've experienced during my weekly supermarket trips.
Awesome selection of food, CLEAN shop, recognizable brands, and welcoming service: these are some of the factors that make Asia Mekong one of my favorite grocery stores to shop at in Berlin.
