local shopping tip:

• wombock cabbage, carrots, celery, spring onions, correinder leaves, mint, red chillies and like are fresh easily available at the local market. 
• palm sugar, dark soy, fish sauce and semase seeds from lazy chefs in flagstaff. phone number 310 0220.
• i like to buy olive oil in bulk from cost u less
• if you have the time, going to turners + growers in vatuwaqa is a good place to buy your imported fruits and vegetables. their system is not designed for retail so it can take you from 30min to 1 hour to do your shopping.
