Title: Fav Places to Shop
Post by: JerryM on May 15, 2010, 08:36 AM
canicant came up with this idea which would be real help as quite often u don't realise what's on u're door step. i thought i knew the city quite well but obviously don't as i'd never been to this emporium:

Hondo Trading Co, 5-11 Upper Duke Street, Liverpool, L1 9DU

this is a Chinese place. real impressed with the place and the staff. they also have real good range of Indian stuff.

Well, here's my fav place to shop.

If any of you guy's ever get to visit the Tameside area of Manchester, then give this place a go.  The staff a really frendly and more than happy to help.

Just one thing, ignore the map on the link, it's nowhere near there?  Also, the address should read,  75 - 83 OLDHAM road, not Ashton rd.

Dong Dong in the Beastmarket in Huddersfield is great for spices, like Jerry's, it's primarily Oriental but carry a good stock of Indian foods/ingredients. I use a place on Bradford Road (dunno the name of it - it's a big double-fronted shop on the left just as you come out of the Town centre) Cheap and they have a large turnover of stock....you can't miss it - it looks like it's been barricaded with sacks of onions lol

Just Thought I'd add that if you know how to locate the store on google street view then you can do this:-

Ahmed foods, Leeds Road Bradford. A place so politely muslim that irrespective of your race, all the women stand back at the checkout to allow men to be served first.

Their vegetable are fantastically fresh and they have a dry goods and spices range as wide as you can imagine. There are others around that part of Bradford but Ahmed's gets my vote.

That's the one, cheers rob.

Yeah it is impressive, it has a vegetarian cafe called Lilly's to the left of it, that sells pint's of Carling for a quid. ;D  It also has a fashion dept called Shivani's I think, sells all asian traditional gear.

The only think that they don't sell is fresh meat because they are vegetarian Hindu's.  They are really really friendly.  Quite often, you can go in there and if they are selling a new range of something, they will have little pots of the cooked dishes that you can try.

Brilliant that Rob, cheers.

Ray :D

Rob,

Reckon you deserve your own bunch to yourself for that. Thanks for the pic.

There is a small customer car park to the rear where you can always park.

Further down the same road towards Bradford there is a restaurant hardware supplier on the left - everything you need except flock wallpaper. Can't remember its name.

Bloody hell Jerry.

I'd be very suprised if there was anything that you couldn't get from that place. It looks huge, very impressive.
