San Antonio can be a tough place to live when a craving for pierogi kicks in. Aside from a box of Mrs. T’s in the freezer section at the supermarket, there are very few places to find those tender, doughy pillows of potato here not to mention the numerous other culinary delights of Eastern Europe.

Sasha
The biggest Chinese supermarket chain in the UK, the Yip family owns four specialist Asian cash & carry sites across England and its flagship is in Nechells, Birmingham. Set across a whopping 10 acres, the superstore gives shoppers “the little China Town experience” and even has a paifang arch as a gateway to the store and Chinese-style hip roofs across the main building.
Inside, the range hails from across the globe and there are around 4,500 fresh, frozen, canned and packaged products available. There’s a fresh fish and shellfish counter with delicacies like conger eel and rows of fish heads ready to be thrown into soups and curries, there’s a section for cooked meats including whole ducks, aisles of hot sauces, sambals and pastes as well as a huge variety of speciality fruit and veg like durian, morning glory and petai disini (also known as stinky beans).
