Asian Markets and Shopping

There are plenty of food stores and speciality shops that make shopping in Cabramatta an interesting change from other parts of Sydney.

The greengrocers there sell all kinds of exotic fruits, vegetables, Asian herbs and spices. They are happy to explain how you can use these in your cooking that special dish.

The food markets have everything from the glitzy Asian junk foods to the traditional. There are also oodles of speciality shops that sell from trinkets and nic nacs to specialised products as well as fabrics and jewellery.

Tours
