Ok, great, I'd love to hear how it works out. Very nice that they offer some harder to find vegetables, like pumpkin leaves, kunde, mabaki, and different gourds.

Hi Waytob, No problem, I appreciate the suggestions and I'm always happy to go and check things out for myself. I haven't been to City Market yet but some friends tell me the selection there is no better (possibly worse) than going to Zucchini's. Of course it's cheaper, but it's also out of my way. I've been to the Banana Hill Market and that was worth going to once simply to see what a local market is like, but I did not find any produce there that was any different or any fresher than what I can get at Zucchini's or delivered superfresh to my door from Coomete Farm. Where do you usually get produce, do you have a favourite place?

Thanks waytob, I tried the Chinese centre on Ngong road recently, as I had to go to Ngong road anyway to run an errand. What a disappointment! Not worth a special trip. As you say, there are a few novelty items but on the whole, not a good selection and not worth fighting traffic if you live far away. There was one main grocery store (no fresh produce). There was another small, non-descript store nearby that was practically empty except for some tofu and some locally made salty duck eggs. These salty duck eggs (boil them like for hard-boiled eggs, and they are delicious, salty, good with plain rice or rice gruel or anything else not salty) were the highlight of the trip. Plus they were bigger and cheaper than in the chinese grocery store. There were also freezers for frozen dumplings of various kinds but on the day we were there (Thursday), they were almost all empty. Apparently Sunday is the big shopping day so freezers are probably full then. If I find myself in the neighborhood on a Sunday I might drop in again to get salty duck eggs and check out the frozen dumpling selection, but I wouldn't make a special trip across town. Guess I'll have to make my own dumplings most of the time...

Hi, does anyone have dining recommendations (any kind of tasty food, from street food, tiny shack to fancy dinner) for the south coast of Kenya, south of Mombasa in the Diani/Galu area?
Thanks!

Thank you, I'll give those places a try.

A pleasant surprise! The menu is a melange of various Asian cuisines, including Chinese dim sum and other dishes, Thai curries, and Japanese sushi and sashimi. I took my parents there, and even they were happy with the quality of the food, ambiance, and service. Highly recommended.

Does anyone know of any Asian (non-Indian) grocery stores in Nairobi? For example, is there any place other than generic grocery stores to get Chinese/Thai/Japanese/Korean groceries? Sticky rice? Thai basil? Thanks!

Hi,
Would it be possible to have Africa as a separate board? I bet you would get a lot more interest in the site if it were more specific.
Thanks!
