What is strange to the western European palate, may be the most bland and everyday to the South-East Asian resident. So basically, anything I haven't seen in my local supermarket at home finds a space here. Until a couple of months later when they are all over Tescos and I am made to feel like a dope.
Exhibit one: Green Pringles. Don't fret too much Pringles lovers, the tube is still considerably too large for the contents therein - both in length and diameter (as the vicar said to the... never mind). Difference being the green seaweedy nature of the moreish potato offerings within. They taste alright though. Pringles add whatever tasty addictive stuff goes into the more familiar varieties, and I can quite happily get through a tube of the green variety.
Kind of makes me feel healthy as I'm eating them too, although I may possibly be deluding myself in that regard.
