Don't be too hard on them, maybe they are just changing providers. Remember we were all upset about the mozzarela? Well, they changed into a different brand, larger package. Maybe we will have an even bigger tub of sour cream. :lick:

Last time I was in P&P Food and Spices I spotted small tubs in their cooler. I haven't been there for awhile but it might deserve a check.

In case of extreme desperation I get mine from the bakery store in Dihua Street. They also carry the big tubs. :D

Sour cream in 3-lb. tubs is on sale for only NT$97 (!) at Costco, or at least was as of last night.

EDIT: yeah, it could have been $79. :D

I got it for 79. Expires July 18th, but it will be gone by then.

Sour cream (costco) + Mexican style "cheese" (also costco) + masa (florida bakery) = cheese tortillas.

Shouldn't this be in the Costco thread?
And even at regular price, sour cream is cheaper in costco than any of the super markets, only downside (depending on how you look at it) is the size of the tub...

Yeah, I'll move a copy of the prices over there, thanks.

it's a taiwanese wholesale for bakering products and kitchenware. Don't know compared to Costco cause I don't go there, anyway it's cheaper than any bakering supply store downtown and has italian mascarpone cheese too, just for tiramisu lovers! :lick:

Any word on the current -and I emphasize current- availability of sour cream in Costco (or elsewhere, BTW, I've only seen it in City Super)? Xizhi, perhaps? I really do not want to head to Neihu just for the sour cream and be dissapointed. None in Yonghe, last time I was there.

The DIY baking store in Zhonghe always has sour cream and Mascarpone (much cheaper than the sour cream at Breeze or the Mascarpone at Carrefour). I saw them last Friday.
I have news. Good news from Notting Hill. The consignment of white gold for Mr Anderson has arrived.
