If you're like us. and need Asian food in your life look no further than this place! I know this place as the only Asian market within 3 miles of my house in Dalston, or Fu Xing (which is the what the perpendicular sign reads) if I really squeeze my brain to remember the name. I need my Korean/Japanese/Thai staples from somewhere, so Fu Xing is my place for the cheapest firm tofu I've found in London (£1.50 for a big block), sesame oil, bean sprouts, mirin, nori, galangal, dried shiitake mushrooms, pho and bun noodles, pak choi, etc.
