The first shop of this brand, well known from fans of world food, appeared in 1977 in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. As it was successful, the store needed larger premises over the last forty years and new stores were opened in the streets of largest cities of France. It is in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, in the metropolis of Montpellier, that locals who love Asian cuisine will be able to buy specific, rare and exotic products at reasonable prices. The store has a fresh fruit and vegetables section (pak choï, lychee, mango, bean...) and a butchery section, a grocery area (frozen, canned, noodles...) and a medical section dedicated to Chinese herbal medicine. Note that a corner is dedicated to crockery and to Japanese and Chinese cooking utensils.

On the shelves there are sauces and spices that are needed to prepare Asian dishes and there is a pharmacological section with essential oils, roots and other plants, as well as a whole section for crockery and kitchen utensils. All that you need to become a chef!
