Mel4Mike Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hi guys, can anyone tell me if there are any South African shops in Melbourne? And where?Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've heard it mentioned that Aldi's periodically do South African themed sales, with things like Mrs Ball's chutney going really cheap. But I don't know anything else. I'll probably wisen up once there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 If you go to a health food shop, ask them if they stock Kialla Pure Foods Maize Meal (organic), it is produced in Queensland, yellow mealie meal, delicious, and it has not spent time on the seas to get here, so very fresh! We have used it for around the last 16 years. When I buy, I usually get around 4 x 5kg bags (yes it comes in bags), we wrap them in about 4 plastic bags each and put them in the freezer. When we get to the last one, it would be about 2years old, and tastes like the first one did.Unfortunately they do not sell direct to the public but their website will give you the name of a provider close to you. Not all the providers carry the stock, they may have to order it in for you, so be prepared.Here is a link to their website:http://kiallafoods.com.au/product/organic-maize-meal-yellow/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibella Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Also check out your local deli - ours stock delicious biltong and droewors. As well as nitrite free bacon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitai2001 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 The 24 Hour Coles in Elsternwick has a small permanent SA section. Also, the Foodworks in Caulfield South (Corner Hawthorn Rd and Glen Huntly Rd) has a small permanent SA section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 As above the Coles in Elsternwick, and it is potentially worth asking if your local Coles can order as some will (just not managed to get my new local one to yet).Aldi has a RSA specials week on a regular basisThere was someone with a shop in Werribee but I'm not sure if it is still going?

brian1948 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The 2 South African Shops listed earlier are two outlets belonging to the same company. Aldi do occasionally have SA goods as part of their special buys - but not that often There are some butchers that produce biltong and boerewors, and deliver to your home. (We order for the extended family - so usually > $100 order , and free delivery.) Not sure if I should openly advertise on their behalf here (not that I have any commercial assocation with them) - but inbox me if you want details - biltong @ $39.90 per kilo - which from memory - is quite a bit cheaper than elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXB2OZ Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Our nearest Coles permanently stocks niknaks, droewors, Niltong, aromas and a variety of other essentials.I have found it is cheaper and easier to make my own rusks. Semolina replaces Tastywheat and some of the market butchers do "special South African sausage". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 There is also a discount store in Benteligh (near the rail crossing) that often has RSA products - although often out of date.At the fish and chip shops Barracuda = Snoek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellyelly Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 HR quality foods in sanctuary lakes - in Melbourne’s west - although an Indian grocer, they have a HUGE range of South African products. It’s crazy. My partner and I couldn’t believe we stumbled across it by mistake. Tonys Butcher opened 2 doors down from there too. So Sanctuary Lakes is a South Africa one stop shop.

It's just very disappointing that all the shops in Sanctuary lakes are open on a Sunday except for Tony's. We only shop at HR quality foods and support the local butcher Li with his boerewors, which is spot on! The droewors takes lovely too.
