Auburn is a cultural melting pot, and you only need look to their supermarkets to prove it. By our count we spot 15 – we’re not including big corporates like Woolies and Aldi here, but rather local, independent offerings. The North Asian ones on the South side of the station are where to head for fresh green bunches of gai lang and bok choy, and the north side contingent are dedicated to Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Turkish, Iranian, Nepali, Polynesian and Burmese staples. This is where you want to come for bulk spices, hug bags of rice, every pickle you can imagine and a thousand salty snacks. Some sell huge tubs of yoghurt and others kaymak in a jar, plus you’ll find chilli sauces, rose water, curry pastes and religious iconography just for good measure. The huge diversity of cultural backgrounds in Auburn is at the heart of its appeal.
