MooNoi Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Belfast, Best bit is to duck into a Thai restaurant (as long as they're not owned by Philippinos or Chinese and really owned by Thai people!) and ask them if they know where to get it. They might even be able to order some in for you and you can buy it off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 All of the Asian markets have it. Quite expensive at this time of year (in Melbourne anyway) Cheers DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
