SPICES & SUCH

A good place to buy spices & such like paprika, coarse black pepper, chillie flakes, garlic powder, dried herbs, saffron, bottled minced ginger, etc. is the ever popular & gigantic Mustafa Centre in Serangoon Road. This 24-hour haven of cheap stuff is chockful of things that you can't find anywhere else. Besides prices are very reasonable & you don't need sales or promotions to get stuff here coz things are already prized extremely cheap.

The only thing I cant' stand is the narrow aisles, that always seemed 2 get "chocked" up by the inconsiderate people, who frequent there. The spices section is fantastic especially if you are looking for Indian spices or exotic blends that you dun know where else to look for.

* Do look out for the extensive range of muruku (Indian snacks) - they are delicious!
