While the fermented product known as Kim Chi may be the national obsession of Korea, KimChi the Asian grocery store on Brunswick Street is a personal obsession of mine.
KimChi stocks a great range of Asian products at very very reasonable prices. Not only can you get fresh fruit and veg, any kind of Asian condiment or sauce you can possibly imagine and all kinds of noodle and rice; KimChi also has an extensive range of alcohol both Asian and everything else. Their wine selection is extensive and well priced, as is their beer. However, my favourite is their grand selection of Sake.
In fact KimChi is a great store to shop in even if you don’t have a hankering for all things Asian. They sell cleaning products at supermarket prices and spices cheaper than supermarkets. They also have a range of frozen goods, including a great selection of dim sums and gyoza.

If you love Asian cookery, you’ll adore this supermarket, which is simply the best place to go if you’re planning a feast that requires anything a little out of the — mainstream supermarket — ordinary.
Stocking a range of Asian cookery necessities such as lemongrass, gyoza and dumpling skins and an astonishing array of sauces, noodles, rices, mushrooms, preserves and seasonings at excellent prices, this place is a brilliant discovery for keen cooks. And with massive bottles of things like soya sauce selling for $ 1 rather than $ 8 odd at Coles, you’ll save a few bob too.
This awesome Asian supermarket also sells a great variety of niche cookwear such as bamboo steamers for next to nothing and traditional Chinese bowls, platters and tea sets that are cheap as chips but very, very pretty. One of my favourite food shops in Fitzroy, if not Melbourne.

Somehow I survived living in places without Asian corner grocers. Luckily, living in Fitzroy there is such an abundance of them, that this is not a concern of mine anymore.
KimChi Grocery, as I like to call it, is a great mix of western foods and snacks and eastern goodies to experiment with while cooking.
It helps that they’ve got tons of wine selection at pretty good prices.
My favorite is their Sake selection. They have many different kinds, and even Plum Wine, so come educated or ask lots of questions. Better yet, use your smartphone and google the flavors. I find myself buying a new one each time I go.

If you are trying your hand at cooking something with an Asian flavour, more often than not the Fitzroy Coles does not cut the mustard and you have to go and find somewhere that has more obscure ingredients.
Located right next to the Beautiful Launderette, is Korea Kim Chi Asian Grocers. They are one of the few Asian grocers that I am aware of in Fitzroy and on Brunswick Street. Although they are a Korean grocers, they seem to have pretty much anything Asian.
Their prices are also pretty cheap too and in some cases a fair bit cheaper than Coles.
You can also get hold of alcohol here so the stock is really varied. The people who run it are always really smiley and friendly.

The fact that Asian Groceries has the word ‘kimchi’ on its sign says to me that these guys know their strength.
And boy is kimchi their strength. Yes, this place is huge and stocks more Asian grocery items and liquor than anyone could ever want or need, but if you go straight to the fridge in the back left-​hand corner, you will find the shelf of kimchi containers and you will win a prize, namely that you get to buy a huge container of really good kimchi for a really good price and then you get to eat it.
If that’s not enough to get you there, A) what’s wrong with you?, and B) sake.
