The Siam Paragon supermarket is a must visit tourist destination for me and for foodies, this is supermarket heaven. The supermarket layout is done really well. The fresh food section has fruits from all over the world from Japanese strawberries to Iranian figs. You can also find Thai food and delicacies like 10 different kinds of shrimp pastes (bagoong), Assorted seafood balls, Thai tamarinds, Thai biscuits… you name it, you can find it here. I spent hours roaming the aisles of food trying to figure out what to bring home. Best of all, there are ‘free taste’s’ for most of the items. Joy oh joy!
Fruits
Durian
Dried fruits – Tomato, Orange peel, Mango & Pineapple
Who said there was a rice shortage!!??
Special milled rice
Strange fruit 1
Japanese apples
Squash
Sashimi!!!
Summary : Drop by the Siam Paragon supermarket. Some strange foods I’ve tried for the first time : Milk corn drink (eeww), Mulberry juice and plum paste. The foodcourt is also bliss. A must visit!!! Free visit, free tastes… take some goodies home.

Hi Nina :
If I didn’t hear about the supermarket from friends, I wouldn’t have gone down to the
basement area either. Seeing Gucci, Versace,Cartier on the main floor makes you want to scurry over to the next mall for some real shopping. Hehehehehe.
