  2. 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. :)

  3. Do you know Schmin Oil?
    where in Auckland can I find it?
    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  4. Never heard of it, I'm afraid - but I will keep my eyes open. What do you use it for?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Never 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.
    regards

  6. Ah, I see. In that case, you can also find it in some supermarkets, labelled as "clarified butter".

  7. Hi There,

    Do you know, where can I get pork dripping/fat, or really unhealthy fatty bacon? :)

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 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?

      Delete
  8. Awesome! I didnt know that name (lard)!
    Thank you very much!

    Let me show you the Hungarian bacon: http://www.natursziget.com/images/stories/articles/nyiltter/2011/20110404-szalonna1.jpg

    1. 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!

    2. Hi 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

    1. 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.

  10. Hello again Mr. Panda,


    Have 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

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 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.

      Delete
    2. Thank 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.

    1. I 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. :)

    2. I saw durians, but I wasn't brave enough to try them out :)
      BTW, thanks for your time :)

  12. 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?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I 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!

  16. Hi Panda,

    Love 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".

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 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.

      Thanks 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.

    1. 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?
