Been to the big wholesale food stores and supermarkets in Pingtung County. Can’t seem to find Dried Bay Leaves and Oregano. These stored did have them a couple of years ago before we were ready to cook. Now, BAM! Can’t find them.
I’m willing to travel an hour into the city if I can be sure of finding them. Please help.
I’d also like to try my hand at finding Chickpeas for some Humus and falafal. Any places to buy them or a good restaurant where I can just get some already made? Thanks.
You can find all three on the corner of Boai Road and Tzenghzi Road in the north of Kaohsiung. They also have a branch near ChengChing Road, in Fengshan.
Thanks but Tzenghi Road doesn’t exist on any map and any combination of Pinyin searches I used turned up nothing. Please give me corect Pinyin or the Chinese Characters. Better yet, the Chinese name of the shop and a google map place mark. Thanks.
Tzenghtz(?) road runs parallel to Dajhong Road/Freeway only two blocks south. This is very close to the freeway exit coming from Pingdong. Head toward Tzuoying on the freeway and take the Boai Road exit. Hang a left (south) on Boai and the store is only two blocks down on the left. It’s very big and impossible to miss. It’s directly across from Tzuoying Junior High School. I don’t have the Chinese name of the store, but I have the phone number. Call them find out the exact address if you need to. 07-3702223
They have all kinds of goodies for cooking that you won’t find at Dollars, Carrefour or Costco.
Happy cooking.
