Hi Cookie. They are in Te Puni Street, Petone - the wee street running off Jackson St between Kathmandu and Pak'n'Save [or is it a Countdown]. They are food importers with a great range of each product, particularly of Asian foods. Also good for bulk buying too. I can spend hours there, browsing. Pondering at foods that I have no idea what they are or how to use them! You must make a visit there - I am sure you would enjoy also. :-)

oooh, wish I had known about them prior to last weekend - we headed over the hill to La Bella Italia ( our second home! ) on Sunday, so next time, I will be sure to look out for them. Thanks jaybee.

When I worked at a supermarket we had stuff coming in for the bakery etc from Davis Trading all the time, I didn't realize they had a shop to the public to visit. Ta for that!
