For both of us (her being Chinese it is ingrained, and me being a Brown, well all the more so too!) good food, and access to a good variety of food, is an essential part of life. A big part of that is Asian food. We are not all that specific about which cuisine we go for: in fact we go for them all! Chinese, Indian, Malay, Indonesian, Thai, Japanese, you name it really!
So moving to a small Australian country town of only 5,500 people, one would think that having access to Asian groceries - both fresh and spices/sauces etc, would be challenging. Well think again! Enter - Hong Asian Grocery Shop (http://www.bigozdirectory.com/hong-asian-grocery-shop-cobram)
The web page isn't much, but gives the address and phone number at least. These guys are open 7 days, and will also bring stuff back from Melbourne for you - even freshly roasted duck, which is simply fabulous!
The array of sauces and spices is largely SE Asian influenced, so not a lot of Indian options, but they are still there. Anyway, what is there is magnificent, including all the pork, fish balls, frozen dim sum (superb quality) and Asian snacks we loved living in KL. I love this shop and am SO glad we have it close to us!
