PAN-ASIAN SUPERMARKET GUIDED TOUR - [NEWCASTLE CITY CENTRE]

Do you know all of the different soy sauces and how to use them?

Do you know your jasmine rice from your sushi rice, and how to buy the best quality?

Do you walk into an Asian supermarket and panic when you cannot read the labels?

Explore and shop at one of Newcastle's most diverse Asian supermarkets with expert guidance from local, professional chef-guide Anthony O'Shaughnessy.

Not only will your chef-guide give you suggestions for how to use common Asian supermarket products, but you will gain rich, cultural insight into these authentic ingredients and their significance in Asian cultures. These are small tour groups of only four people, so you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
