I found Pandan! well I didn’t buy it but a friend gave me her stash 🙂 She bought the leaves at Karama Fish Market.

This is my final work week to finish a Girly Cake for my friend. And in between finishing the cake I have strong craving for Buko (Coconut) Pandan dessert and Ube Cake.
Pandan is one leaf that’s hard to get by here in Dubai. Oh so please help me find one 🙂 or a whole plant! and I promise to share my produce.

Panalo! a reply from a non UAE resident 🙂 medyo malayo from our place but I'll ask C to visit the place after his work. Thank you!
hi there! thanks for visiting my blog. Someone told me you can find it in Choithram in Al Wasl. Di pa ako nakapunta ng uae kaya di ko talaga alam sabi lang ng mga kakilala ko.check mo na lang po. tc
Thanks Arva. I’ve listed the stores mentioned for a weekend visit. A friend also mentioned that Lemon Grass have plants. 🙂
did you try this place on Sandy's website: http://gingerandscotch.com/2008/05/asian-grocery-stores-in-dubai.htmlalso, i read on a forum that you could get them at the Spinney's in Springs.
It's sold at the Thai supermarket in Karama for 3 dhs per bag – not sure how much is in a bag though. Give them a call before heading out there to make sure it is in stock..
glad you got your pandan! FYI: was at Sunflower in karama today and they definitely had Pandan and also saw some in LuLu's MOE by the bean sprouts and baby carrots
Will try to make some cake (coconut and pandan) . thanks!
Hello, hopped by here :)I usually see pandan leaves here at Philippine Supermarket along Muraggabat Road, Deira. It's not everyday though it seems..
Thanks! We visited 3 stores last night in our area and they didn't have any as well.
Anyone knows where we can buy Pandanus Amaryllifolius (Pandan) plant in Dubai? I want to plant it in my garden.
Where can i buy pandan leaves or pandan essence in karama?
I have bought pandan leaves at the Karama fish market and mostly at stores selling Filipino products like Westzone.
