If you’ve been to one Asian supermarket in Melbourne, it’s probably Tang (formally known as Great Eastern Foods) on Russell Street in the CBD. Just off the Chinatown drag, Tang is that one-stop shop whenever you’re in town.

With the requisite selection of noodles, dim-sims, sambal and soy, Tang also stocks a limited range of sake, which is fantastic if you’re headed somewhere BYO. Also on offer is a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, which are consistently fresh. Tang's emporium stocks produce from Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
