This is the new home of the big supermarket that used to be in Oriental City; it now sits at the bottom end of Queensway in Bayswater, a few doors up and across the road from Queensway Station.
Note: As of July 2009, there's a new sign up saying that the place is under new management, and the shelves look a little bare. From a squint through the window, it also looks as though the stock may be moving from Oriental food towards more British foods (e.g. Tyrells crisps). We're not entirely sure what's happening, though.
The comments below relate to this place before the change of management.
Kake visited in April 2009. The fish counter is no more, but they do still offer a certain amount of fresh and frozen meat; a sign seen in the window in April 2009 advertised "halal meat, pork, frozen spare parts, thinly sliced meat for hotpot". They also have a small selection of vegetables, plus fresh and frozen groceries like konnyaku, tofu products, frozen dumplings, frozen parathas, and so on.
Other things on offer include a selection of dried noodles, teas, sauces, vinegars, and interesting things in jars and tins.
Note that (at least as of April 2009) they don't accept card payments for totals of less than £5.
