Grocery shopping
I love grocery shopping. Wherever I travel, I always end up in a grocery store whether or not I need anything; I just think it’s neat to see what is sold in different countries.
One of the biggest surprises when we got to KL was how much from home is easily found here, even my favorite brand of apple cider vinegar is here. Lots of fruits and veggies, and even some organic choices are usually available. I had been shopping mostly at the grocery stores in Suria (the nearest mall, the one under the Petronas towers). One of them is a British chain, Cold Storage, and the other is a Japanese one, Isetan, so depending on what I’m looking for I head to one or the other.
That is, until I discovered my new favorite grocery store just steps from my front door.
My favorite grocery store in KL
He shows up once a week, Wednesday afternoons around 2:30, and unpacks his scale onto the sidewalk to weigh your purchases. There are several condo buildings in a little cluster here, and I see the same people show up at this truck each week. His produce is fresher than the grocery stores, and it’s a much more social experience with everyone recommending what they got last week and helping each other select the perfect pineapple or whatever.
Next week he’s on vacation for Chinese New Year, and I’ll be missing him!
Yum. Fresh fruits and veggies. The perks of visiting a warm country. Eat well my friends!
best. grocery store. ever. for a couple weeks, grant had a project where he tried to do that to the jitney. it ultimately failed when he was swarmed by hungry squirrels while driving down college hill road.
