The charm of this place is buying stuff that you would never normally get. Or playing Asian snack roulette and getting something that has no English translation on the packaging. Orange Supermarket certainly has a wide array of the weird and wonderful, with my recent purchase of dried anchovies raising curious eyebrows in the office (N.B. they were crispy, sweet and a little sickly after too many!). And if you're after ingredients for an Asian dinner, the aisles are stockpiled with everything you'll need.
They also have a great variety of Asian drinks, my favourite being the lychee juice with little bits of jelly in it. And a can of Coke (in its various forms) for $1, where can you get that in Sydney nowadays?! So if you're wandering down Harris St, and you're in need a of a quick refreshment, don't be drawn in by the overpriced convenience store on the opposite corner of the road, drop into Orange Supermarket instead! read more
