Chinese, Thai and Korean Groceries in Colombo

Anybody who love eastern food should make a trip to the grocery stores in Kolpitty super market. I found out about these shops recently and was surprised at the range of products they had. They sell everything from Thai rice to Chinese canned bamboo shoots and mushrooms.

I'm not the cooking type but if you are, there are a lot of stuff you can experiment with like tom yam paste, green and red curry powder from Thailand and all types of noodles, spices and canned products from China and Korea.

My favorite finds were the Korean instant noodles brand (Shin Ramyun) which tastes a lot better than the locally available brands (Maggie) and all those nice sauces from Thailand.

The shops are in the first floor of the Kolpitty market and most of the customers seem to be expat Chinese. On the ground level are vegetable and fruit shops. There too you can find lot of vegetables that you would not normally see in Sri Lankan super markets but the prices tend to be on the high side.
