It is worth a visit as the prices are best in London: 60 p for konnyaku noodles in compare to £ 1.20 in Cina Town!



Thanks, Rez.
I love that place. It's a bit out of the way, but we have been there a couple of times, over the years.
We're planning to go to london in October, and I'll be sure to go and look for konnyaku there then!
Maybe tell me what else you stock up on there?

Yeah tell me about it. - I live in south east out of London but whenever I get there I get a travel card and go through all London just to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy my self with searching through all the exotic food trying to figure out how to use the ingredients and tasting new stuff.

Aside the konnyaku - noodle shape, cake or like little green squares with seaweed - I really love this with my sushi
thera are also loats of different kinds of chinese pickles, seaweed and sea kelp - they are very healthy and not as healthy but necessary pork cracklings (sold there in big 120 gm pack for about £1.20)
also any frozen meat and fish you could possibly imagine... just everything.

Allow yourself at least 2 hours - you can have a nice lunch there and if you are lucky maybe even see some of chinese community cultural program like chinese acrobats!

Great!
I remember seeing huge mangoes there at 2 for £1, when they would have cost about £4 at home.
