Leo's

Here in Australia the supermarket chains are monopolised by 2 very big corporations namely Woolworths and Coles Myer. You can find these 2 supermarkets just about anywhere you go.

But there are smaller upmarket supermarkets in some affluent suburbs like Leo's in Heidelberg and Kew where we went yesterday to get a particular brand of chilli jam that only can be found there. We don't normally come to Leo's mainly because of their prices but only if we have to, like when the stuffs you want can only be found there.


Leo's stocks a lot of unusual brands of products not normally found in the mainstream supermarkets for example Sarawak Black Peppercorn at $7.90 per 100 gm can! Talk about expensive!

Really from sarawak or not? And also, write a letter for them ask to repack the can lah... What the fuck with black and white? No money print ar?

Don't worry about losing stock on peppers. We Sarawakians here are lack of sugar and we have to use the specially-made sugar for cake. Sigh.

Haiyah, ask STP to courier a big-big sack for you lah. Cheaper lor.

Yalah! That is about RM24.00! How much would that be per peppercorn? 10 sen? RM1.00???

Ahem..the idea of KNB having a bidayuh girlfriend came about from the Gawai story of us in the bidayuh kampung...where you saw bidayuh gals ridding on a motorbike :P
