Although not the biggest supermarket in Chinatown, I still tend to come here for my Chinese food…read moreshopping. They achieved a small measure of fame when they were featured on one of Jamie Oliver's cookery programs a few years ago. In fact, some of the best stuff is outside in the fruit and veg section. They tend to have a good selection of tropical fruits when they're in season. You can find trays of rambutan, mangosteens, mangoes and langsat. It's also an opportunity for you to come up close with a whole jackfruit and the infamous durian. It's the green spiky football sized fruit that is the notorious taste test as to whether you've truly embraced south east Asian food! You can buy the edible part in trays inside the supermarket - the soft flesh surrounding the inedible seeds smells strong and aromatic and tastes like custard but much sweeter and stronger. A tip for shoppers is that you can find trays of durian in the chilled cabinets at the back of the shop as well as by the tills. You can find the usual array of tinned goods, bottles of sauces, rows upon rows of instant noodles (Maggi are my favourite brand) and savoury and sweet snacks in the front of the store. Down some steps in the back are the chilled and frozen cabinets containing chlled edible goods as well as the cooking utensils. The queues have got much better since the introduction of more tills with barcode scanners. For those new to Chinese cuisine, I recommend some of the trays of sweet biscuits at the front of the shop or some sticky rice from the chilled cabinet. Perhaps a cook in sauce from the back of the shop that will beat anything out of a jar from Tesco. If you're feeling adventurous, try some thousand year old eggs or make your own wontons with some pastry wrappers from the chilled cabinets. However, my major tip is to try some mangosteens or rambutans when they're in season - they knock fruits from temperate climates for 6. Have fun!

New Loon Moon Supermarket is a small grocery store in Chinatown. It is a great little shop and it…read morehas most of the things you need to cook a Chinese dinner. If you walk to the back of the shop there are chopsticks, knives, woks and other cooking utensils. If you are a first time Chinese cook it's not a bad idea to pick up a few things to help prepare your meal. In addition to the cooking items you'll find a small selection of pre-packaged vegetables and a large variety of canned goods. The shop also has lots of Chinese sweets. They are brightly coloured and packaged, I've never had them, but I've been awfully tempted. New Loon Moon Supermarket is the perfect size for the first time Chinese cook. The size makes it easy to get around without feeling overwhelmed and the prices won't burn a hole in your wallet.

However as this place is so huge you'll probably still find what you are looking for. Since I've lived in Oxford I've come here about a dozen or so times. We tend to try and stick to mid evening as the crowds die down a bit and they are not quite into their horrible restocking mode. Generally you can find fresh products and a wide selection of near everything (do not come to this Tescos if you are looking for home goods/ electronics/ etc). The prices as it is Tescos are decent. The staff are generally friendly as long as you're not getting the end of shift crowd. PROS: Large selection Good quantity of stock Price CONS: Gets ultra busy Leftover stock can be of bad quality Other side of the ring road.

It's got a huge range of items, although no adult clothing (other than underwear) or much in the way of electronics/media/toys, unlike even bigger stores. For groceries, though, it's got a lot to offer. Fruit and veg are of good quality and usually well-stocked. The deli and fresh fish counters offer a lot of choice, and they even have a large 'Polish food' section. They have two 'car trolleys' which amuse small (and big) kids greatly, and make the shopping trip easier with children who are too big for the trolley seats but too small to walk all the way around without whining. Staff are friendly and helpful, and offers on food are good value.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped to offer help, in the end a lovely young man from Latvia came and helped me. He pulled out this huge screw/ bolt from the tyre then repaired it with something magic that looked like a rubber plug. I don't know his name, he said he lived in new Milton and he had a blue car. He really was a saviour to me. I was so amazed that so many kind people came to my aid and offered help. with all the bad things happening in this world today, all the people who stopped were just kind and wonderfu, I'm glad I live in this great country.
