If you’ve ever wondered where to buy fresh pandan leaves, salted duck eggs, or those knife-cut Chinese wheat noodles with the wavy edges, it’s time for a grocery shop on Illawarra Road. Hong Phuoc and Thai Hung are next-door neighbours, and each sell fresh hard-to-find (and sometimes, hard-to-identify) produce including calamansi, longan and breadfruit at affordable prices.
There’s a lot of crossover, but Thai Hung is the choice for ready-made meals and desserts like pandan bean or cassava cake, while Hong Phuoc has a massive selection of dessert supplies (tapioca pearls, ube essence) and a beautiful display of fresh herbs.
