Re:Where to get Western spices? 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
On a good note,

Metro seems to have increased their stock and varieties of fresh herbs. They've got a steady supply of herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, sage, lemongrass and a few others I can't recall. You can't beat fresh, and if you don't use it all you can freeze it into little ice cubes.

Metro also seem to have a better variety of imported products. I asked the manager to stock small cans of peeled plum tomatoes and one week later they were there.

If they don't have it just ask the manager, it worked for me.

Re:Where to get Western spices? 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
I went to Metro this weekend and suprisingly found small containers of some spices nicluding paprika and nutmeg!!! Maybe I missed it last time, maybe this forum really helps.
The downside is that the prices did not compare to the big containers. Nutmeg is only available in the small containers I think, but paprika for instance is 1/3 the price of a big container with about 1/9 of the amount. Not really worth it I think.

Does anybody know what the prices are in the carrefour?

After going to metro I was able to make the best Pizza I have yet tasted in China with my small oven. Finally I can get some decent Pizza!!!

Surely you don't put paprika and nutmeg on your pizza? The Italians will send the mafia round if they hear of such a thing. lol

Hehe, no worries, I didn't mean that. Nutmeg I use for my traditional Dutch "stamppot". For my pizza I used Basil and Parsley shenmede...
