    Is there an asian food shop around these parts other than Wongs? I'm thinking similar to the Oriental Emporium in Dublin for those who know it. Specifically looking for big bags of jasmine rice as the supermarkets charge a fortune for the tiny bags, when they even have those.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Halal Centre in Irishtown might be worth a shot?

    Don't know any aside from Wong's.

    Funny story actually, I went into Wong's a few months ago looking for Doubanjiang and the ignoramus Irish woman at the counter just gave me the dirtiest look ever and said "Whats tha!!? Is tha foreign or something?!".

    Only saw these replies a few days ago, not sure how I missed them! Thanks to all. I tried the halal shop in Irishtown yesterday, but it was closed for Friday prayers so still haven't any result. I'll try Loughboy later too and report back for future reference.

    Edit: D'oh, just read Fraido's reply in full. Ah well, the search continues.

    shortis wong used to do big bags of yasmin rice, just ask in the shop.
    there is also a similar shop in coach rd, next to little ghost gallery (by St Cannice's Cathedral) as far as I recall.
