You cook peking duck pancakes!?!?

Where's my invite?????

By DohaSteve• 11 May 2008 16:09

I used to cook it myself in Scotland; there was a terrific little Asian grocer in my home town, so I could get everything I needed. Now I know the recipe and cooking methods by heart, but it's not the same without the proper pancakes .

No where in Qatar sells pork... apart from the US army base.

Sorry

If it's true, this needs it's own thread - pork in Doha! Finally!.

I thought mega mart closed down there, it must be in carrefour, thats the only big supermarket there now

there is a big super market , I dont know the same of it but there's only one, and up the back they sell small selection of pork there.

But if you can give me a day I'll double check for you.

By DohaSteve• 11 May 2008 15:47

.... the little ones that you get with Peking Duck. Want to cook my own here (takes over 6 hours but well worth it), but no point coz I can't find the pancakes and none of the restaurants will sell them to me.

Probably not worth opening a whole shop just for those, though

A version of a PC world would be great in qatar too...instead of having to trawl through souq's looking for stuff,

a proper IT shop, you can go in get what you want, staff know what they are selling etc etc etc.

Perhaps you might want to consider selling China i.e. chinese pottery/porcelain.

I'm sure those beautiful robes you can get from china would be popular with the Qatari ladies as well as other foreigners.

I'm not so sure about gadgets because people prefer buying gadgest from the big dep. stores for the warranty...

 

If it is possible for you to sell those flavored cigarettes...i'm sure that would be a hugggeee hit...

 

good luck!

hi,

 

what a good idea, I hope it all goes well for you!

 

I think there's an opportunity for baby stuff. If you could get hold of Bonds clothes youd do so well! Also, quirky baby things like nursing necklaces and maybe some funky breastfeeding covers. Also things like oilatum and teetha!

 

Good luck, I hope you do well :)
