Vanilla Pods

[Jolly Cook]

Anyone know where to buy vanilla pods?

[try]

cold storage.  I think I bought some at Jelita it's with the regular spices.  If that fails try Tanglin Mall supermarket.  But vanilla pods are expensive, I think I paid around $10.

They are at all the Cold Storage outlets, Tanglin Market and Jason's.   The brand name of the spices they are with is Master Foods.   In some of the stores they aren't on the spice aisle, but on a separate display unit.   Just ask an employee where the Master Food spices are.

The baking shop in HV Phoon Jiat sells them, much cheaper the CS too!

[Rice question]

Just been to above, the pods seem okay, not very plump and juicy, but would probably do the trick.
The store also had "vanilla bean paste", any experience with this?

Vanilla Bean Paste is supposed to be fantastic!  I will be rushing down there tomorrow to grab some.Yippeeeee!!!! Love vanilla beans but all the ones here are dried up and old, got some lovely ones last trip down to Brisbane and have been spoilt for ever more.

[Orchid farm]

Maybe the orchid farms would sell... It would be fresh that way and should be cheap buying direct from the source.
