IMO very very unusual that you couldn't find Chinese Five Spice at your local New World - I agree absolutely with you that it's usually a case of being able to find anything at New World that can't be found at Pak n Save and/or Countdown.Here's what you need to look for:
ohhh duh me!I was having a quick scan thru the Cs probably under the Fs which woulda been an even quicker scan.Thanks for the pic. that'll help lots :)

You're most welcome, and IMO very likely to be quite correct re needing to look amongst the Fs rather than the Cs - I find it really difficult to believe that your New World don't stock the C 5 spice but if for some reason they haven't got it in stock have a look also amongst the Masterfoods products for:
Masterfoods also do it too, available in most Smarkets

Yes we have it & prawns bbq-ed with a coating of chinese 5 spice are really scrummy! Here's the recipe. Chinese Five Spice, Chilli & Garlic Prawns ¼ cup flour 1 tsp each of Chinese Five Spice, garlic salt ½ tsp ground chilli ¼ cup extra flour 500gr prawn cutlets, peeled with tails on 1 egg white lightly beaten 2 tabs oil Coriander sprigs & lemon wedges to serve Combine the first lot of flour with the five spice, garlic salt & chilli powder. Place the extra flour in a bowl & coatthe prawns, then dust off excess. Dip the prawns in egg white then dip the prawns in seasoned flour. Heat the oil in pan, then pan fry till golden brown each side,(about 3-4 mins). Nice also served with lime & lemon aioli.

I was in the Mad Butcher grocery part (what is that, the Mad Grocer!) this evening and noticed packets of five spice. Their spices in the plastic bags are far cheaper than the glass jars in supermarkets. Their seeds and lentils and whatnot are much cheaper too.

It is a really useful spice(s) to have on hand. In fact Michael MacIntyre has a very funny sketch about spices with a big mention at the end about Five Spice that I think people would relate to.
