Very Nearly deserving of 5 stars, but i dont want to go too crazy! This place is though a really…read moregood place to pick up your chinese foodstuffs, with a massive selection on the high American looking Aisles. You could say they have wall to (Great) wall of food, and I would say don't be a (Tiannamen) square, and get yourself down there, but I would never use such bad puns! I bought a big old selection of dried chillis for a pound, and they will last me probably for half a year (and I use a lot) so that's a bargain. I also got a jar of minced ginger, to use in my stirfries and I bought a bottle of squid sauce to go splash into my stir fries too, for that authentic touch. On top of what I got though, there is so much good and authentic produce here, from huge sacks of rice for around £16, to cans of Grass Jelly drink and juicy, plump HUOGE Tiger prawns. Cheap, authentic and nicely laid out.

Stepping through the door of Fortune Supermarket might not guarantee you a winning lottery ticket…read morebut it does give you access to a whole world of Chinese goodies! Halfway up one of Brighton's most densely populated streets of restaurants, it's a one-stop shop for everything you might need for a Chinese feast. There's a fridge stacked with fresh pak choi, oyster mushrooms, babycorn and other fresh veggies, a freezer packed with spring rolls, dumplings, fish and meat and shelves of sauces, oils, rice, noodles and candies. I'd give it an extra star if it occupied a smaller space. As it is, there's too much empty space - which could be used to stock more treats. If some of it's occupied next time I visit, I'll give it a fourth star.

Fortune Supermarket was as close to being back in Korea as I've experienced in an Asian import…read morestore: the set up, the cramped aisles, the smell of spices and, of course, the stock. They had bags of kimchi! Only in bulk, and a bit pricey, but yay. Also: dried cuttle fish (and other meats), mango-flavoured desserts, cakes made from gooey rice paste, seaweed, tonnes of curries, soup mixes and tofus. Fruits and vegetables were available fresh and in cans; and beans in cans or dried and in bags. The shop also sells kitchenware and crockery: bamboo steamers, rice spoons and mats for rolling sushi (or kimbap.) It was the most authentic shop I've been in here, a vast selection of all the Asian specialties.

What an amazing place to buy some authentic Spanish ingredients and to make your cooking taste like you've just flown back from Madrid. The Serano ham and chorizo are really good - not that cheap but worth every penny! They also sell a paella cooking kit which makes a huge difference in flavour. There's not a lot of places you can buy razor clams but they sell them here. If you fancy something a little different to finish your dinner party off with, buy a bottle of their hazelnut scnapps. It actually tastes really nice but does kick like a donkey!

The Turkish Food Centre is a large supermarket where you can find cheap imports form turkey, and…read moreother Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. It is a joy to live near by, open 365 days of the year, 8am to 10pm without fail. Organic vegetables, tomatoes bursting with colour and flavour. They have a large delicatessen where they have a large selection of olives, Halal meats and cheeses , and make their own Turkish bread on site too. It all has a lovely smell of when you walk in. They have absolutely everything that a Turksih Chef would need. My family shop here virtually everyday to get bread and other certain thing they might need for whatever is being cooked. For quantity, it is by no means competition for any large supermarket chains, but as for quality, it definitely is. It is a regular for me.

If you want to cook Oriental food, but cook it properly then this should be your port of call,…read moreopposed to Sainsbury's or Tesco. Firstly, you will get way more produce for your money and also was more items that you would ever see on a supermarket shelf. As a chef, this place has allowed me to cook far more dishes than I would have been able to without the stock they sell. From expected noodles and soy sauce to palm sugar, if it's in a recipe they will likely sell it. There is also a nice range of cooking items like woks and crockery all at decent prices. What I also like is having a hunt through the freezer compartments for dumplings, Chinese buns and dim sum. You can even get random Chinese sweets like white rabbit candy (very tasty). The owner is a really sweet lady, who will happily have a little chat and offer the odd cooking tip. You will also find a lot of adverts on the shop front for Oriental cooking lessons, which would be a good way to get more out the shop. A very nice supermarket that offers something a little out of the ordinary.

This is somewhere for real cooks, who want to make Oriental food properly, with authentic ingredients. They have all the basics - sweet chilli, soy, noodles rice - that you can get anywhere, but at much better prices and with a better range than any supermarket. They also stock lots of things that you won't find everywhere - unusual herbs and spices, and an array of tins and packages with unfamiliar and exciting looking names. Well, those bits I can read, anyway.

As part of a…read morebid to stop using Sainsburys in favour of supporting local small businesses and independent shops, I have found myself popping in more and more. As the fruit and veg stalls at the Open Market seem to be in decline- some having moved on altogether and some there only once in a while- Pineapple has become my new fruit and veg hot spot! The selection is great and they often have interesting seasonal fruit...watermelons, blood oranges, plantains and pomegranates to name but a few! Beyond the produce, they also stock all sorts of ethnic yummies and dried and tinned food too. A great place to look for inspiration and new recipe ideas! The guys who work there are really nice and on 'Snow Day' earlier this year they built three hilarious little snow people out side the shop, which made me love the place all the more!

Even though the daylight hours had long gone, and we were getting increasingly hungry, the eclectic, obscure and affordable selection of products on offer kept us in the shop browsing the aisles like two old ladies. Pineapple, has all the usual suspects of the fruit and veg world; potatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, chilis (scotch bonnets are 13p each!) etc...all at a lower price than the high street supermarkets dotted around Brighton, so worth a visit for your standards. What though is the trump card of this place is the selection of Middle Eastern, Turkish and Polish speciality foods such as the huge naan style bread which looks like it could feed a family for a week, and the massive 1kg jars of pickled cabbage, jalapenos, gherkins etc etc... (1kg!!!) all for around the £3-4 mark. Also a good selection of dried and fresh spices and herbs (such as a bunch of coriander for less than £1), fruit juices, and interesting condiments, Pineapple is a treasure trove of ethnic food, for a really reasonable price. I highly recommend taking a look.

Alas, most British butchers or supermarkets only offer the usual watered-down hams, which have lost all of the interesting flavours. Here at Poziomka you can find literally dozens of different kinds of hams, sausages and other meaty treats. But not only that, this is a clean and well-sorted paradise for all things considered Eastern European: buttermilk, pickles, cabbage rolls and various kinds of sweets that you wouldn't find at your typical Tesco. I love coming here and just browsing through the shelves and finding things that I had grown up with, but had somehow forgotten about. (Polish and German share quite a bit of food heritage.)

Situated opposite Waitrose on Western Road, this is an interesting supermarket, focusing on Asian…read morecuisine, with the emphasis on natural, organic and fairly-traded produce. The array of exotic fresh herbs and spices is impressive, but they also do a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables and dairy products, which are as locally sourced as possible. They also have an extensive range of special diet products - for example, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian products, and organic baby food. Prices vary hugely, though: pittas are very good value, for example, but some other items are more expensive. But with such a wide range it is unlikely you won't be able to find what you want. The main downer - as others have said - is the staff, who vary from friendly to downright dismissive. The other particular gripe is the awkward queuing system, that means that on every visit, someone who has arrived later has ended up getting served before me.
