Buying Rapadura - Perth
« on: May 02, 2014, 04:05:35 am »
Hi All,

Only new to the thermomix world, mine is being delivered tonight!! But one of the first recipes I wanted to try needed rapdura. After having trouble finding it, and where I could find it was ridiculously expensive.

I stumbled across a shop in Northbridge this morning that is AMAZING!! Lots of fresh products in wholesale.

Anyhoo...the point of my post was...  Rapadura was only $6.30 per kilo!!!!

KAKULAS BROTHERS, WILLIAM STREET NORTHBRIDGE.

Check it out  ;)

Welcome to the forum, jobear.  You are going to have an exciting weekend with your new TMX ... enjoy it.

Sounds like a good find in Perth.  A bulk supplier of good products is well worth cutlivating!

They are wonderful jobear. I manage to get there every now and then.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Looks like a trip to the city coming up; I don't do it very often since retiring. I tried Kakulas Sisters in Nollamara but they didn't have it in bulk form. Sometimes I use Billington's Light Muscovado (just looks like rapadura). They say on the packet that is Natural unrefined cane sugar.

I have quite a collection of the Billington's sugars. I find they give lovely flavours to the food.

Kakulas brothers and kakulas sisters (freo) are really good for loose produce. I've started ordering stuff online through 2 brothers. They are really well priced and I usually get my order within 2 working days. Delivery is very cheap too.

Cookie1, I agree about the Billingtons sugars; other than rapadura, I don't buy any other sugar, only the Billingtons.

I buy it in 5kg bags from www.2brothersfoods.com. Only $5 a kg. postage is a flat $3.50 in WA. They're very good with a high turnover, so fresh all the time. Quick delivery too. I get all my nuts, seeds, sugars and flours from there.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
