Supermarkets

I love visiting supermarkets in other countries, checking out which import products are popular, looking at the prepared food, watching the type of stuff that people buy.

Restaurant food is pretty expensive here (well compared to Bangkok at least), and my limited kitchen doesn’t allow for much more than water boiling so I tend to eat a lot of prepared food from the supermarkets. There’s usually tons of good vegetables, tofu, tempura, strange pickled things, soba, udon, soy beans (boiled and fermented) and other things that I’ve learned to experiment with.
