Here in the supermarket foreign products are not available always especially food products of different cuisine. The most supermarket has products of Ukrainian and European Cuisine, for example, Italian pasta, sauces are available everywhere. But when it comes to specific food products from a specific cuisine, it's hard to find everything all in the same place.
Сумской рынок (Sumskoy market) which is located at Kul'tury St has offered different food products including foreign products to their customer. Basically, most food products from Georgian cuisine, Arabian cuisine, and Turkish Cuisine are available here. I have found some products from India as well. From here, anyone can buy fresh farm products, organic products, and products from the factory.
After reconstruction, the Sumskoy market was opened in 2015, and since then it has become a comfortable marketplace among foreigners. All kinds of spices from different cuisine is available here. So you might have already understood that why this marketplace is popular among foreigners.
For example, for Bangladeshi cuisine, I need some specific spices similar to Indian Cuisine which are not available in nearest supermarkets. All supermarkets offer basic spices for food but for specific spices I always need to go to different stores. But not all products are available always, sometimes I buy from Indian stores, sometimes I buy from online stores but after finding this marketplace, I decided to check it out.
I heard that the best beef steaks, ribs, and meat can be found here. As I am a beef lover and heard that these portions of beef come from the farm and tasty so I decided to buy portions of beef. I also wanted to buy rose water for cooking, some specific spices, and Turkish sweets. Also, I was looking for some Arabian sweet products too so I felt this place is worthy to look at.
This marketplace opens in the morning and closes at 9'0 clock at night. They have excellent fresh cheese, meat products and also shops for Vegan. Sweets from Eastern and other foreign countries are available here.
I won't say this marketplace is very far away from my home but it takes me 30 minutes to reach there. First I took the metro to Naokova station and then I take a walk for 15 minutes. A very neat and clean marketplace I have ever seen and it feels comfortable to browse and buy products from here.
Different types of fruits are available here, most of them directly come from the farm and foreign fruits are imported...
Those who love Georgian Cuisine, go there to buy their groceries.
You can check my video to get the overall idea of the marketplace.
First I bought a Turkish Dessert called Turkish Delight: Lokum. It looks like "Halwa", "Halua" made of cornstarch, rosewater, cream, and sugar and coated with Pistachio, walnut, etc. Instead of Pistachio dry fruits can be used as well. It is sweet and tasty so I bought a slice for myself, a small box. Then I bought rosewater, Halal Jelly, Mahalabia mixture (Arabian Sweet), and custard powder. Later ended up buying some sauces, spices, and other food products.
Later I bought a portion of beef slice from a farm store.
Foreign products are not cheap at all after all they are foreign products which is quite understandable. In Kyiv price might be less because of availability and competition but here prices are always the same for foreign food products. I went to ASAN before, another superstore that has foreign food products but their products price is expensive and variety less. Sometimes products are completely unavailable where here you will find your products anytime.
The products are not cheap but affordable and at least I can consider that to taste my own cuisine.
Shops are organized and easy to find. The second floor has some restaurants, bars, saloons, and some boutique shops. I have spent two hours there to browse and explore products and came to know about many food products.
And here is my iconic picture... :P Hahaha...Took it from the second floor to get the overall view.
Until next time... Have a nice day everyone...
