    Just moved to Athboy and looking to get some sticky rice (calories rice). Had previously lived in Dublin and got all out Chinese ingredients in Parnell St but it's a long trek in there now. I know there's an oriental store in Navan near Aldi/GAA pitch but it doesn't have sticky rice. Any other options?

    There is a shop on Brews Hill just down from the car park that is between Aldi & O'Flaherty's pub. It's more of a Middle Eastern shop but they do have big bags of Jasmine rice. They also do a reasonable selection of spices & a small Chinese section with bottles of Soy sauce etc. Not the cheapest for the rice but I suppose if you calculate in the cost of driving to Dublin, parking etc.....

    I usually go to the Chinese shop in Drogheda if I'm stuck but then again I live closer to there.

    Got it. Didn't think they had it there but they did. €11.99 for 5kg which seems a lot.

    I think I paid €17 for a 10kg bag in Drogheda. I know I usually pay around €12-€15 in Parnell St, depending on the type of Rice I get (broken or whole). I know I definitely pad €25 for a 20kg bag of broken in Aisa Market on Drury St.
