Does anybody know where you can buy some Thai squid based candy called banto (or maybe bento) in London?

Ta!

Tis called Bento (sounds like Japanese). Have you tried Soho? Those two supermarkets on Gerrard Street seem to have most things Thai...

Packpao

Is this the long stringy thing in a red and yellow packet?

I didn't know what it was and asked g/f who said "fish" while eating 2 packets of it walking! round Chiang Mai zoo and said "you have in England"

You can guess my answer but maybe i need correcting if it is the same stuff

They sell Bento or similar at Hoo Hing in Brimsdown, Enfield. So I'd imagine they do at all their stores around London, have a look here.

I tried the Hoo Hing in Hackney at the weekend but no luck. I'll wander into Soho some lunchtime and have a go there.

Thanks for the advice guys.

whereabouts is the hoo hing in hackney

it might be nearer to us than the enfield one

A&A,

Theres one just outside Romford (Chadwell Heath) as well where i intend to head for when g/f gets here.

Hoo Hing is on Hackney Marshes about a mile away from Leyton Orients ground, where abouts do you live ?
