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.

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 Keep an eye on use by dates though as a couple of items were out of date recently.

Still quite new to the area, Bayswater Supermarket is an Asian supermarket on steroids. This place…read moreis huge, and they stock everything you need to become a master of the Asian cuisine at home. An aisle full of different varieties of sauces sits opposite an aisle full of different kinds of noodles. There are also packets of countless dried vegetables and legumes, perfect for your next curry. Oddly, there's also an aisle stocking a mixed bag of western food, including Arnott's Shapes, Pringles and every energy drink under the sun. The frozen section is full of ready to cook at home snacks. Spring rolls, tofu and many other Asian favourites are all here, and decently priced to boot.

2 stars for the layout and ease of access to things but quite a few of the staff let it down…read more A few staff members in particular are just rude and geez don't interrupt them during their conversations with each other as you'll be treated poorly, one I watched argue with a customer and was horrified at her tone and facial expressions when all she had to do was explain something my 5yr old daughter could explain normally. I reported a spill to the manager that blew me off and carried on with his day, thankfully one of the seniors overheard and followed me to check the spill. Deli is good and fresh with good service but when it comes to the meats, cheeses and packaged deli be careful as I have purchased a few things off

Super big Coles! Has everything and more…read more.. The massive layout and easy access aisles means you're not bumping into people or getting trolley trapped in the aisle! :)

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.

I have a look in here occasionally to see if there is anything I want or need that will be used soon. Certainly worth checking out to make some savings. Pretty cramped for room to move around.
