This store carries over 2000 products from the <strong>US<\/strong> and the <strong>UK<\/strong> and if it&#8217;s not in stock when you&#8217;re in the store they will order it for you. The prices at A Taste of Home are quite reasonable, and the store is open every day of the week, including Sundays. You can find your favorite <strong>chips<\/strong>, <strong>sodas<\/strong>, and <strong>cookies<\/strong>, as well as a wide variety of household items like maple syrup, Duncan Hines cake mix, and Hershey&#8217;s syrup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Carrer Floridablanca, 78<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dong_Fang_Extremo_Oriente\"><\/span>Dong Fang Extremo Oriente<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So this isn&#8217;t an American store, but here you can find a huge variety of <strong>Asian products<\/strong> that you might be accustomed to eating at home and can&#8217;t find in the regular supermarket.
