Bucharest - Post Report Question and Answers
What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?
No food in Romania is spicy. Bring your favorite seasonings, Asian sauces, and hot sauces. I brought all paper products from US and am glad I did as many of these products in Romania are scented. - Jun 2023
We brought a variety of hot sauces and Asian sauces. We also brought specialty beers, although those are getting easier to find (look up Beer Institute and The Beer Store). Even with Asian sauces, there is a small chain of stores called J&K Store, which stands for Japan and Korea, and they have a good amount of east Asian items. It's really easy to find most things in Bucharest. I haven't found Nappa cabbage or daikon to make kimchi, but J&K Store sells kimchi for a fair price. - Mar 2019
I order peanut butter a lot. Otherwise, I can find it all here. There are Carrefours and Mega Image. - Jun 2018

Most everything you want is available here. You may not see the American brand you like though. I'm not to picky so, nothing. - Jan 2008
Zest soap, but that is a personal preference. You can pretty much get anything you want here. - Jan 2008
