The chocolates are available in Big C and there was plenty of them last time I looked, same price as SEF etc.

As I said earlier, Cheese to meat you and the Havana are great if you live in town, personally I try to avoid going there, Max's selection is superb and he provides a great service, I don't know about Havana's I've never been there, again I try to avoid the Soi Samphan area, it's not my thing. Personally I think if SEF gets their delivery issues sorted it's great for people who live out in the boonies, if you bear in mind the delivery costs etc it doesn't offer a viable alternative to those who live in town.

KP you're dead right, butter needs to be refrigerated here or you end up with a blob of useless fat.

Just received the price list from Siamburis (see below) it is quite comprehensive with over 1000 items.
You will need to check the website when it is finished or the Facebook page for special offers.

Studied the list and thanks to Pal52, for uploading same. Many things as stated before available locally, however some items not available here at all, so interestingly although I prefer to source locally, I may try a fw items NOT available here. I mean this is the time of year to titillate your taste buds in celebration.
AND a big WELL DONE to Vince for highlighting this service .

Today I went to Cheese to Meat you, i was in town and I needed a few bits. All in all I’d say is it’s a lot less painful than sodding around online, I found what I wanted in the blink of an eye and It’s a lot less hassle than waiting in all day for a delivery. So, a reiteration, if you are in town C2MY imho offers the best service.

Agree BUT with this caveat, C2MU do not offer some items on-line does , so for those with a liking for a particular tasty item for snacking or eating, then on-line may be the only option. Waiting with happy anticipation for this delicacy to be delivered.

I consider expat food as a nice to have not a too die for where I have to search the internet and wait in for a delivery service. With that said I do miss my rowies and mealie puddings.

I would place Tops and Villa before Tesco-Lotus.

I go to Tesco-Lotus because there's a large branch of Mr. D.I.Y. in there but even their bloody parking is rubbish.

If your urges to buy cheap tat are sometimes uncontrollable like mine then I don’t know if you already know but there’s a large Mr DIY in the entrance to the fruit wholesale market on Nittayo Road.
Loads of parking always available

Been there, done that and is actually my first pick for low quality stuff. The only problem with that location is the awful placement if u-turns on Nittayo and the twunts that block them up.

^I suppose it depends where you’re coming from & where you’re going after.

If I turn right at the traffic lights on Thahan Road by Wing23 I can easily get to the market through the back gates avoiding all the ring road & u turn nonsense.
Same leaving unless Mrs N has a desire to burn up her credit card in Central or UD Town in which case I can turn into the flow of traffic (ooer controversial) on Nittayo Road & not have to u turn

indeed,we do not need a lot special things (imported) ,our main source is makro , and local markets , rarely go to big c, (lotus never) tops or villa market ... as they are expensive and have nothing extra to us ...stopped in villa market in week and i was surprised how this shop has shrunk , the beer selections is halved , a lot over expensive wines though,always price shocked so left without buying anything ...
i ordered for the first time some baking goods online ,also some cold sauces not seen online before (maybe i missed them before?)...it is all according to your own preferences and needs ... ;)

I don’t really do any on line food shopping. In the UK I once saw the “shopper” just throwing fresh fruit into the bottom of the blue plastic delivery box before adding canned goods so everything would be battered & bruised. I know you can reject stuff when it’s delivered but it’s just the added hassle factor.
I like to check perishables & expiry or BBE dates before buying & I can’t do that on line. Certainly not adverse to other on line shopping though, just foodstuffs
