    By British standards, huge supermarket with a great variety of frozen foods (instant, raw seafood,…read moremeats, buns, dumplings galore) and sauces. They cater to both wholesale and retail customers so you can also buy a giant case of spring rolls or cabbage if you like. There's also a small fresh seafood section, restaurant serving ware, small selection of rice cookers, as well as retail consumer Asian vegetables (morning glory, bitter gourd, daikon, herbs, etc). Private lot, so plenty of parking and free!

The selection of ingredients is fantastic - what's that? You want some dried mushrooms? How about a whole aisle of dried fungi in all it's various forms. Prawns? Of course, an entire freezer aisle and a half full of them from teeny tiny shrimp all the way up to giant king prawns that aren't far off the size of lobster. It can be somewhat overwhelming, I'll admit that, but the staff are incredibly friendly and will assist you in any way possible. Right down to unloading your trolley and packing your goods. No, no, no sir... you're not in Tesco any more. Wing Yip is your one stop shop for middle eastern cooking supplies, if you're feeling a bit bored in the kitchen then head down here buy something you wouldn't normally try and give it a whirl!

I highly recommend the management to do some sort of a training for the stuff members to at least ask them to be polite to the customers, it doesn't cost anything to say hello back when a customer does, help them if they ask for something and simply acknowledge their existence.Shame.

Lituanica stocks Duona bread, cepelinai, bulves and lots of other Baltic treats. It's food that makes you want to chop wood, cook on a log-burning stove and ride horses - it's hearty food, soul food and it's so damn good. I need a Lithuanian store outside of my house really, but for the time being I am willing to compromise and venture into town to stock up on my Lithuanian treats - it's well worth the trip.

    This supermarket is one of my favourite independent places to shop, based in the heart of Soho…read moreRoad. I try and shop here every 2 - 3 weeks, and the discounted prices on shopping to be had in here, are gob-smackingly good! The ideal place to get all your authentic ingredients for that all special curry and what not. I buy all of my asain, Indian ingredients in here and more. The small packets of spices are convenient and the cheapest that you can get! Everything from the Basmati Tilda rice, flour, nuts, great juices, tea, snacks, lentils, oils, juices, cereals, shop here first. You'll be hooked, with famous brands it's a shame they don't offer some kind of reward scheme! My tip, try the bags of 'Paneer' in the fridge section, on your right when you walk in (past the big bags of onions....) at £3.99. Fry into a tomato curry, just delightful and beats takeaway food. I find I always fill my trolley shopping in here. The prices ARE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN GET! They close early on Wednesdays and only the far till on your right accepts debit cards. They even have free asian newspapers for you to take away, if you can read them. What makes this place extra special is staff at the door will look after your shopping bags and give you a numbered ticket whilst you shop and browse! 1 Hour free car parking is available for shoppers, there after, it's £1 per hour. Enjoy. A great gem and a much valued and appreciated store for all communities.

Only if I am in Handsworth and am desperate to buy Indian ingredients. There are closer green grocer stores that have Indian spices and plus there are high retail stores that sell Indian ingredients needed for making curries. But the prices at S&D Supermarket are excellent and they won't be beaten anywhere else. From tea to Indian snacks and savouries to cereals, these are some of the things you can buy from this supermarket. This is an excellent store for the locals and those living in Birmingham. To top it all off, the staff are top class here and they will help you out. If you do need guidance on any of the products at this supermarket, they will be there. There is car parking on-site and parking will be free for an hour. After that you will be charged £1 for every hour.

    You know that thing when you really want to eat some sheep's uterus but just can't find it for love…read moreor money? It is such a pain. Thankfully, you'll find it easily at this excellent Chinese supermarket. If scoffing ovine reproductive organs isn't your thing, you'll find plenty more intriguing and delicious items stacked on the shelves. They stock lots of fresh fruit and veg, especially the sort of stuff you'd struggle to find at Tesco. The spices and teas are great value. Adventurous cooks will happily spend an hour browsing the aisles. It is one part shopping trip, one part food education. No trip to the Chinese Quarter is complete with a visit to Day In.

    When I first started coming here, I was a little unadventurous, just choosing a few bags of chicken…read morenoodles then apologetically scurrying out again like a fish out of his own cultural water. In the last 5 years though, I've been doing frequent shopping trips to Day-In to supplement my regular visits to high street supermarkets. When I'm in here, I'm of course mainly browsing the seaweed collections, buying ovine innards, or treating the whole thing like some kind of tourist experience, like I would visiting the Sea Life centre. My first stop is the fridge. I pick up two blocks of tofu, (the firm sort that will hold together with the rigors of stir-frying) and some OKF aloe vera drink. This beverage contains both the juice and the gel from the plant, and its the world's best seller. A glass of this when hungover or feeling run-down is a welcome rescue remedy. In the tinned aisle I picked up some mock duck. Made with gluten, it's a substitute for the real thing, something that vegans would welcome as somthing they can sink their teeth into. Then some soy sauce, a bag of chillies and a tin of coconut milk. The soy sauce is Pearl River Bridge, a rich, dark soy that is superior to the kind that you get in regular supermarkets and at just 58p for 150ml, its around a third of the price. The same goes with the chillies; a bag of bright red ones of the bird's-eye's variety at a fraction of the cost that you'd expect to pay elsewhere. Next stop-sauces and spices! You'll find them in the last aisle. I pick up Rendang paste (best for beef, good for tofu), and some tom yum paste which I'll have on another day with some prawns thrown in. These sauces ain't healthy. They're packed with salt and sugar and some with MSG but boy, do they taste good. I balance the yang of the above with the yin of some fresh century pears. Apple shaped, and sweeter than say, a comice, these pudgy fruits are worth discovering. I then grab four packets of Nissin noodles. What I like about these is that often they have a paste included as well as a soup powder for added complexities. Try the Tokyo Shoyu variety to challenge your tastebuds.

    I don't want to tell you about this place. Hidden in a small side street, (that you'd never know…read moreabout,) in between the grandiose frontages of Chung Ying and the twin stone lions of China court is Bath Passage. And in that small street lies the simply named Chinatown Noodle Bar & Take Away. This food is the real deal. Their speciality is Chinese Quarter Big Pot Noodles. These are long noodle soup meals served in huge bowls, and I dare you to try to finish one. There are 35 variations to chose from. The last on the list is capitalised and listed seemingly inauspiciously 'HELL RAMEN' (Beef or Lamb), but as it has the number 35 it is considered most lucky in Feng Shui. Drinks included the very 'now' Bubble Tea (where have you been?) and my standard , hot soy milk. If you want quick service you will get it here, hands down. In the time that it takes between ordering and getting the food on your table, you've hardly even time to even start on you drink. And that's good. Ok, Maybe not for an evening out, but for a weekday afternoon, the speed of service and everything about this place feels just right. But its our secret, right?

Usually l don't like going to places that l don't know or been recommended as usually l find the worst places that you can possibly find. I ordered the BBQ pork special with rice with a side order of prawn crackers. On getting back to the apartments where l was staying l found the food to be rather warm and not hot as it should be, a few minutes in the magic box fixed this. The meal in the end was rather bland and boring, and lacked in a sauce of some sort. The food was ok in the end but definitely not worth £8.50
