What items would you most like to see in an Import Store?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

It's not corn flour, or corn starch, or corn meal. Masa Harina is for making tortillas and tamales. It's a dried corn that is soaked in lye dried and ground also has some shortening. I have seen it only once years ago at sovanna mall, and haven't been able to find it since.

Would like some zucchini and yellow crookneck squash, tomato hybrids like big girl and early girl, rosemary, basil, and jalapeno pepper seeds. I haven't seen these.

If you get a good price on half kilo bags of Nescafe, I'd buy it.

Naval oranges are a major US product... but not a dry good. they have them at lucky's usually.
