"Home Pantry at Blackburn Visited on 24/3/2022 I was asked by a friend to check out this grocery store. In fact, I heard of this before, but I never thought of visiting it because there are many Asian groceries around my house. It is close to the railway station, located at the basement of a suburban building. It is a rather quiet during my wife and I visit, no where close the amount of foot traffic in similar stores. It does not have many isles of shelves, and dies not stock many grocery items. However, it captues a niche market by selling packaged as well as freshly cooked food, pastries, kuihs and frizen Yum Cha itens specifucally for the Malaysian / Singaporean customers. I can see that it stocks two brands of frozen Musang King. It seems the less known brand is a better tastewise. The freshly cooked food is cooked on the premise, but other are sourced from suppliers who also supply to other groceries and eateries. As first time customers, my wife and I are offered a cup of coffee. Although it comes from an automatic coffee machine, and using non-fresh milk, the coffee really taste great, aromatic, full-body and "creamy". We try the curry puff. I have to give it full marks for the puff pastry and the curry filling. The staff is very friendly, but too honest. I think she is over excited to see customers who are interested in her store and products. She is a bit inexperienced in running a busine, because she should not disclose where she sourced the products too readily."

"Great place to get a huge varieties of delicious Malaysian food convenient for take away. My regular favourites are the different types of Nasi Lemak packed in banana leaves, and the mackerel fish on timeric rice with sambal. Also a great place to get soup packs."
