Large Chinese cash-and-carry on an industrial estate in Silvertown.
It has a large vegetable section including more unusual things like pandan leaves, fresh lotus seeds, fresh water chestnuts, many kinds of greens and gourds, and garlic by the 4.5kg bag (and smaller bags too). Prices are pretty good (as of April 2010, you can get four bulbs of garlic for 75p and three large aubergines for just under £2).
Next to the vegetable department is an extensive freezer section with many kinds of frozen dim sum, and along the back of the store are fresh fish and meat counters. A hardware section carries hotpot strainers, steamer doilies, and other such items.
As well as many aisles of Chinese groceries (vinegars, soy sauces, preserved vegetables, noodles, spices, etc), they also stock smaller selections of Japanese, Thai, and other Asian groceries.
Accessibility: Carpark outside, no steps to get in, aisles are nice and wide.
