Praise be to Allah, or to one of the major food goods, for the “V-Supermarket”, our local Asian grocery store, which in my opinion has the best collection of weird and wonderful munchies that fills my regular snack needs when i campout on the couch for a movie or TV show.

I know it might seem strange to some,  getting excited about an Asian grocery store, but anyone that’s Greek would know, growing up with old-school parents you don’t get to have a lot of variety in the food department apart from Yemista or Pasticcio. Not that I’m complaining, but sometimes you need to branch out and try other delicacies.

Back to the shopping: the best part of shopping experience is trying to decipher what the actual product is between the packaging and the “Engrish” translation on the shelves.

Here are some of our latest finds:

We couldn’t help picking up these biscuits because of the “100 percent of new flavour feeling of metropolis” we needed in our diet. The packaging promises almondy, peanutty,sesame seedy flavour and these semi-sweet biscuits arent too bad.

Not quite sure what the writing actually says, but generally it has something to do with chocolate and Thomas the tank engine…

I have no clue what these things were apart from having “salty flavor”. It kind of tasted like dried salty mush with a weird prawn after taste… mmm yummy. The whole pack went straight in the bin after two bites.

Unfortunately we didn’t end up buying these, but it was pretty tempting with the tag line “brilliant cakes with milk”…
