I agreed on that. My friends in Dubai told me that they can get meats from NZ with no problems and also non-halal products. I ate once dried beef slices sold by Eurodeli @ Giant,Penang (and also @ Tesco non-halal sections.) Few days later, no more available - all sold out! I asked them when is their next shipment - answer? No eye deer! My favorite is Viande de Grison (air-dried beef from Grison,Switzerland.) I tasted another version in Thailand produced under licensed by a German company. You can get them @ Tesco - Lotus Supermarket. There, you can find proscuitto, Lardon,etc made in Thailand. Very cheap indeed but still as you know taste & quality of the bovine in both Thailand & Switzerland are totally different! Maybe when you're in Thailand, try to find this Tesco-Lotus supermarkets - you can try to 'tar pau' some back home. Yes… I agreed on that.

They don't have a sign or anything, just a private home at the corner of Jalan Kelawai. Can you ask Erina of Cooking Island? She knows the owner. pixen - And we don't even get Italian cured meats like salami, prosciutto and all those goody stuffs anymore. So sad. Those deli are selling some ugly huge slabs of fake looking ham only, I think Meaty brand. It looks so fake lah. to make things easy, just put a blanket rule that all imported meats are not halal mah can lor hor? So, we can import all we want and people who are not suppose to eat non-halal, just stay away from imported meats. Simple, right? sweet jasmine – For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of the distributor. They don’t have a sign or anything, just a private home at the corner of Jalan Kelawai.

This teenage son of mine is always craving for more beef too...especially steaks....though he can cook for himself...buying expensive cuts....will defer his plans of eating his favourite dish. He told me there is a shop too in along Abu Siti lane ....selling imported food. Beef fr. China?....no wonder i see some price difference...thought it was local ones...but i always buy the australian ones....

I also enquired of such few days ago from the non-halal section of Cold Storage. They told me that our Govt currently banned meat supply from NZ. Formerly, it was Australia, now is NZ. It must be due to Halal requirements again...dohhh. Btw, some people told me that Australia's mutton is tougher than NZ because the sheeps slaughtered were meant for the wool not for the meat purpose. I saw some NZ mutton or beef ( I can't recalled which type of meat) at Gama's Frozen compartment-the box in front of the chicken corner sometime ago. Wow… thanks for the info.

Actually, it is not even a shop but rather a home. I forgot the name of the shop but it is located at Jalan Kelawai and Nunn Road junction, I think.
