A shop in the Dreams Mart and Condotel building, the place to go for what the local markets do not carry: cheese and cured meat, frozen roti flatbreads, grains and spices, rocket and other salad greens. A normal Da Lat grocery run does not cover that list — the supermarkets here are for rice, noodles and vegetables, while cheese and salad leaves have to be hunted down separately.
A Korean grocery on Bui Thi Xuan: whole rows of ramyeon and noodles, sauces, kimchi, snacks, frozen goods, fresh herbs and vegetables. The range is closer to a supermarket than to a shop with two shelves of Asian products, and the sign advertises goods from a hundred brands.
The other half of the shop is alcohol: a separate wine cellar with lit cabinets, spirits — whisky, soju, liqueurs — and beer. They work until midnight.
