Where to find Asian & Latin

While living in Berlin, many students and employees who live here start to miss their home country food, and you couldn’t get these things in regular supermarkets like Lidl, Rewe, Edeka or Aldi.

Also, if you do not come from Latin America or Asian countries, you may want to make your own sushi or noodles and it can save you some money.
