Thanks so much for updating this page! It helped me to track down some juniper berries on the weekend, and also some vietnamese mint a few months back. Keep up the great blogging!

Glad to be of help, and thanks for the credit in your blog! Since you've now checked out Mahadeo's, you'll know that there are plenty of interesting things there that I haven't listed as well. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you know Schmin Oil?
ReplyDeletewhere in Auckland can I find it?
thanks
Never heard of it, I'm afraid - but I will keep my eyes open. What do you use it for?
ReplyDeleteNever mind, it is used for south (east) asian food, especially in making fried rice. Actually I have found it in the near Indian shop, the famous name of Schmin Oil is Ghee in Indian language. Thank you for answering my question.
ReplyDeleteregards
Ah, I see. In that case, you can also find it in some supermarkets, labelled as "clarified butter".
ReplyDeleteHi There,
ReplyDeleteDo you know, where can I get pork dripping/fat, or really unhealthy fatty bacon? :)
Thanks!
Pork fat is known as lard, and you can buy this as well as beef dripping in supermarkets like Pak 'n' Save (I have seen it in both the Mount Albert and Glenfield branches, though I assume you can also find it elsewhere). For fatty bacon, I would suggest buying streaky bacon rather than shoulder or middle bacon. I'm not sure if you can get fattier bacon than this - perhaps you could ask your local butcher?
DeleteAwesome! I didnt know that name (lard)!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
Let me show you the Hungarian bacon: http://www.natursziget.com/images/stories/articles/nyiltter/2011/20110404-szalonna1.jpg
Happy New Year!
Wow, that looks like pure fat. Definitely not for the health conscious! I have not seen this sold in Auckland, but maybe you could put in a special request somewhere. Happy New Year to you too!
DeleteHi Attila, I saw some Russian speck for sale today. No idea how different it is from Hungarian bacon, but it looks pretty fatty! I've put a picture here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=564669556895034&set=a.526951284000195.132157.526938997334757
DeleteWhere can i find jicama or yam bean for making springrolls? Thankyou
ReplyDeletejools
Unfortunately, I don't think you can buy jicama here, though there are seeds for sale (for instance on TradeMe) if you want to grow them yourself. But send me an email so I can let you know if by chance I do eventually come across some.
DeleteHello again Mr. Panda,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen Jackfruit in Auckland? I'm trying for get 1 as a present, but it gives me hard time to find it. Maybe you know where to search for it :)
Thanks,
Attila
Hi Attila, the vegie place under the Rialto carpark in Newmarket imports durians and mangosteens from Thailand when they are in season, but I am afraid that there probably isn't enough of a demand for fresh jackfruit for them to bring those over as well. You can find dried or tinned jackfruit at various Asian grocery stores though.
DeleteThank you for the information on where to get jackfruit. It's appearing in recipes from the US on an International database for a Metabolic Disorder (very strict and restricted diet) so I am pleased I can get it and try some new recipes.
DeleteAnd Rambutans?
ReplyDeleteI have seen lychees and longans for sale in Auckland, but unfortunately not rambutans! They do look and taste amazing, so I guess that's a good excuse to travel to South East Asia. That, and really fragrant durians. :)
DeleteI saw durians, but I wasn't brave enough to try them out :)
DeleteBTW, thanks for your time :)
I am looking for green papaya and is there any place that sells it all round the year? I also wanted to know what other fruits can be used to really tenderize beaf, lamb and mutton? Is Kiwi fruit a good tenderizer and as powerful as Green Papaya?
ReplyDeleteI would suggest looking at the places I listed above to see if they still sell green papaya. Papain in papaya is not the only proteolytic enzyme which can help tenderise meat though. Bromelain in fresh pineapple (not cooked or tinned), actinidin from kiwifruit, and ficin from figs would work too. According to http://www.beefresearch.org/CMDocs/BeefResearch/Adding%20Enzymes%20to%20Improve%20Beef%20Tenderness.pdf bromelain is more effective against collagen in connective tissue, while papain acts more on muscle myofibrillar proteins. You don't necessarily want the most powerful enzyme though, because you can make the meat soggy, at least on the outside, if you are not careful. Here is someone who prefers to use kiwi fruit: http://www.pbs.org/food/fresh-tastes/tenderizing-meat/. Hope that helps!
DeleteWow, this is an extensive list. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks - let me know if there is something else I should add!
DeleteHello, does anyone know where to buy Octopus meat? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThe Foodstyle magazine mentions buying octopus in Onehunga. I'll keep my eyes peeled and let you know if I come across it too.
DeleteHello, just found frozen baby octopus tentacles in 500g bags today.
DeleteG Market (Korean Store) sells it on 4 Moselle Ave, Henderson if anyone else is interested.
Regards :)
Hi, any idea where I can get jicama in north shore?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I haven't come across jicama for sale yet, except in the form of seeds. You might need to use a substitute until it grows!
Delete:)) I wish I could grow pandan leaves too! Thanks, anyway!
DeleteCheers
Yeah, I have only seen frozen pandan leaves and bottled pandan flavouring. Would love to have some fresh leaves too!
DeleteHi, I saw and bought frozen jicamas at Tai Ping in Wairau (North Shore) last week.
DeleteI bought some from the Parnell (La Cigale) markets once...
DeleteWhere can I find the pandan leaves or extract or even paste?
DeleteAt your local Asian grocery store. You can get frozen pandan leaves at Tai Ping in Newmarket, for instance.
DeleteHi Panda,
ReplyDeleteLove your detailed lists - very helpful!
Do you know where I could get calamansi in Auckland? The fruit and/or seedlings or perhaps cuttings from someone's tree? I want it for my sambal belacan and would also like to try to grow from cuttings. I've looked around Asian grocery stores and Avondale Market last week to no avail. Thanks!
BTW, I can't click on the Notify Me box - gives me mssge "error occurred while contacting the server".
Thanks - the only place I have seen a calamansi plant for sale was at the Avondale Market a year ago. I guess you could try asking some of the stall holders there to see if they have contacts? I wouldn't know otherwise.
DeleteThanks for letting me know about the Notify Me box as well. It seems to be an issue with Blogger pages, so I am not sure what I can do about that.
Good luck with your search, and I will keep my eyes peeled too.
Hi Mr. Panda,
ReplyDeleteI need to ask you again :) Do you know where can I buy chillean guava, normal guava and elderberry (or elderflower) (Fresh)?
Thanks, and keet the blog going! :)
I have not seen any of these fruit for sale, but if you want to plant your own, by all accounts they are easy to grow in Auckland...
DeleteMy plants are growing, will have 3 yellow and 9 red fruits from my guava trees, also some chillean, but that's too few :P Well, thank you!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Attila
PS: You can buy quark as 'tvorog' at skazka.co.nz and pork crackling at the butcher in Silverdale (samsbutchery.com)
hi does anyone know where i can find rosehip jam? cheers
ReplyDeleteIf you are not keen to make your own, Safka (on K Rd) seems to have it: http://safka.co.nz/index.php/categories/product/37-schwartau-extra-rosehip-jam/category_pathway-17.html
DeleteAny news on fresh pandan leaves ? Or finger limes ?
ReplyDeleteI've only seen frozen pandan leaves... and finger lime plants at the garden centre. The plants came from Flying Dragon Citrus Nursery so you could try contacting them.
DeleteNot a food item but do you know where I can buy a copper Turkish coffee pot - ibrik
ReplyDeleteI found some different types for sale at the Kitchen Shop at Queen's Arcade. Someone also suggested checking out Mecca Souq, but I haven't made it there yet.
DeleteDo you know where can I buy banana trunk, squirrel eggs and pig intestine in Wellington? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSorry, can't help you, given that
Delete1) I don't live in Wellington
2) squirrels don't lay eggs
Good luck, though!
Thanks. Sorry my typo error. I mean quail eggs. :D
DeleteDo you know where I can buy Nasnaran Mandarin ? Many thanks
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these for sale in Auckland - can you use kaffir limes as a substitute?
DeleteHi Panda,
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy fresh (raw) milk in Auckland or surrounding area? How about kataifi pastry?? Thank you!
Farm Fresh Milk Taupaki has a vending machine in West Auckland. There are also "raw milk clubs" like Live Milk, but this is no longer accepting new members in Auckland as of a week ago, maybe related to the new milk rules?
DeleteAs for kataifi, I imagine at a Middle Eastern grocery store, though I haven't looked recently.
Oh, saw online that Davis sells kataifi
DeleteIs there any butcher or other store I can buy beef intestine?
ReplyDeleteHi, yes - I have listed it as tripe above. You can get the different kinds at Asian supermarkets.
DeleteAmazing list! Just wondering - I'm after some Vietnamese rice wine/whiskey (com ruou)..any ideas where this is available in Auckland? Many thanks, Andrew
ReplyDeleteApologies - it should read "ruou quoc lui" rather than com ruou. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the slow reply... I can't say I have seen it here, but could you make do with other Asian liquor distilled from rice (e.g. shochu)?
DeleteHi there, is there any where i can get dried Sipunculus nudus (dried peanut worms) ? many thanks
ReplyDeleteAwesome list, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you know where I could get a pre made Za'atar spice mix (rather than making it)?
Also, in case you want to add them to your list, for those out west there's a South African shop called Inside Africa, 1a Buscomb Ave, Henderson, and also Saffron Foods which stock predominantly Indian/Pacific Island foods, 214 Universal Drive, Henderson.
Thanks for the info! Shefco on Dominion Road has bags of za'atar for sale. It looked like there were sesame seeds in the bags as well, so I assume it is the spice mix you are looking for.
DeleteThanks for this list, it's a great service you're doing here, cheers!! :-)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI always come back to your site :) Guys! Where can I buy plantain (cooking banana) now? Anyone has seen any place? I went to like 7 countdowns and 3 paknsaves and 7-8 vege shops, but i had no luck. Please tell me if you see some somewhere! Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Attila, sorry for the slow reply. I haven't seen plantain around for a while either, but I found green bananas!

Hi, do you know if I can find any Pandan Leaves in Auckland?
ReplyDeleteYou can get them frozen at Asian grocery stores, but I haven't seen fresh leaves for sale.
DeleteWhich stores in particular? Do you know of any in North Shore? I've been to Tai Ping in Northcote but they didn't have any.
DeleteHi, may I please know where can I buy cassava? I searched in Pak N save many times but couldn't find any and also I asked some of the staff there, but their response was "we don't sell any" 😑😢 Thank you in advance 😊
ReplyDeleteTry the freezer at Chinese groceries. I usually get mine from there.
DeleteI definitely saw frozen ones for sale at PAK'nSAVE (Mount Albert) five years ago, but perhaps they have stopped stocking them. As Attila says, you can try the Chinese groceries. I also saw some for sale at Fresho on Dominion Road today.
DeleteTremendous List ! Great Job ! Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service :)
DeleteThis is so informative! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWould you know where I could find Pandan essence & Rose essence in Auckland?
You can buy pandan essence at Asian grocery stores, such as Lim Chhour on K'Rd, and suppliers like Davis Food. Rose essence can be found at Indian/Sri Lankan stores like Serandib, or gourmet food places like The Kitchen Shop. Hope that helps!
Deletegreat resource are you still keeping it up to date?
ReplyDeleteAs you may have noticed, I haven't been that active with blogging lately. Plus, a lot of things are now easier to find these days, I feel. Are you after something in particular?
DeleteAre sapodilla fruit or chickoo fruit available in Auckland?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it for sale, I'm afraid! What do you do with it?
DeleteThe fruit is edible and also you can make milkshakes and desserts
DeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteDo you know any other stores that sell balut the store you mentioned no longer sells it anymore
I'm afraid I haven't been paying attention, but it looks like you can order it from a farm near Whangarei. https://newzealandduckeggs.co.nz/product/balut-hot-vit-lon/
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeletedo you know where to find buah keluak?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangium_edule
Sorry, I don't have an answer to this one. It looks fascinating though! How do you use it and what does it taste like?
DeleteHi, very helpful list. Would you know I an find fresh or frozen moringa leaves for cooking?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the slow reply. I have not been out and about much lately, but suggest you try asking on the Lazy Susan Facebook group. Good luck!
