The Beauty Master grocery store sells everything to please the African palate: turmeric, manioc root, adémé, bilolo, matambele, bitikutiku and chikwangue. Are you wondering what these foreign-sounding products actually are? Hook up with a local! He or she can initiate you in the secrets of African cuisine. Of course, you will probably need some rice, then. You can buy 10-kilo bags of rice here, ranging from normal Thai rice for everyday use to perfumed rice from Cambodia. How about a visit to the Polish or Romanian butcher shops across the street? The master plan for the Abattoirs includes tearing down these small stores to enable the market site to be more easily accessible for the surrounding area.
