    Where can I buy rosemary?

    I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I don't know where to buy the herb rosemary. Can I get it in the Sham Shui Po market? Because I never saw it in Wellcome or ParknShop. Thanks!

    Some of the big western supermarkets stock it- like Taste.

    I bought a plant once from the flower market in mk but it died fairly quickly.

    There is a really good spice shop in Kowloon City, Nga Tsin Long Rd., right opposite the wet market. It's run by a nice thai lady.

    >>Star Asia Market, 74 Nga Tsin Long Rd

    I am not sure they got rosemary, they do have thyme and other western type spices. They also have the Sichuan Hua Jiao (花椒), which is otherwise hard to find in HK. And they carry serundeng too, which is, despite the large Indonesian community here, not that easy to find.

    And another example how supermarkets rip you off, their tomato paste is $7 - Wellcome etc. ususally ~$13 - same brand!

    PS: SSP wet market, or I guess all wet markets, will not have it.

    Have you tried to wet market? There is a South east Asian shop on level 2 or 3. Sorry I can't remember the exact location. You can try them. They speak English but best to take a photo for reference. May not be fresh rosemary though.

    Otherwise you can get fresh rosemary from the Market Place in Langham Place in Mongkok for around $20.

    Sent from somewhere....

    I have seen rosemary plants being sold by plant/flower shops. Otherwise you can try to buy rosemary plants at organic gardens/farms, like Kadoorie.

    Usually the Wellcome and PnS superstores sells them as well.

    Yep, Star Asia Market got it for a modest HK$5 per pack.

    ...and the cute lady is Indonesian, not Thai.
