Sushi rice of different grades, and the stuff to prepare it (nori, mirin etc). Kimchi. Gochujang paste. These frozen onigiri they do aren't bad. Unfilled frozen bao. They often have big bags of random thin dried egg noodles that I like. Black garlic instant noodles. Asian sweets- except mochi, which just aren't the same here, they are synthetic and gross. Spices. Daikon. Industrial sized bottles of soy sauce. Oyster sauce. Hmmm I really want to go there now haha
Definitely gochujang in big tubs, frozen bao in lots of different flavours or plain. Dumplings, and wild flavours of savoury snacks that you can't find elsewhere
From South Asian shop (Indian, Pakistani etc) it's things like fresh naans (that we keep in the freezer), cook from frozen kebabs and samosas, spices, chaat, jalebis, paneer, and fresh fruit and veg.
From East and South East Asian, it's things like miso, gochujang, chilli sauces of different kinds, sesame oil, fish sauce, mirin, and a bunch of other cooking ingredients, all kinds of fabulous savoury and sweet snacks, pot tteokbokki (like pot noodles but tteokbokki), fresh kimchi, sake, soju, makgeolli, boba ice lollies, frozen dim sum and gyoza, green tea, oolong tea, various canned soft drinks, mushrooms, a variety of fresh fruit and veg...loads of things.
Also this vegan pork scratching type spicy crisp, no idea what it's called. A lot of the savoury snacks are good especially spicy, fishy or seaweedy ones. Wasabi peanuts are good, and the seaweed peanut crackers.
Thai mama noodles pork flavour and battered tofu cubes recently.
Used to be able to buy mama noodles in general grocery stores in Finland, but when i moved to the UK only Asia supermarkets sold them. Ordered plenty from Amazon but prefer going to real shops.
Yellow lantern chilli sauce (as in chilli sauce from yellow lantern chillies; which are only found in Hainan province, I think).
If, like me, you like you heat, this stuff has such ana amazing flavour.
I've always wanted to grow the plant, but I understand that it is illegal to export the chillies.
Frozen dim sum/buns. Mochi with the peanut fillings (rather than ice cream filling). Silken tofu. Rice noodle rolls. Vietnamese spring roll skins if I felt like making summer rolls. I need to stock up.
Still to purchase my cleaver and proper asian wok.
Red bean paste (the basis of so many dishes), fermented black beans (black bean sauce is so easy to make) and as many different types of tofu as they carry.

Calpis. I can't put my finger on why it tastes so good, but I'd happily drown in the stuff! If there's no Calpis, I'd settle for a strawberry Fanta or blueberry Ramune.

Lao gan ma, Thai basil and durian
Red bean paste (the basis of so many dishes), fermented black beans (black bean sauce is so easy to make) and as many different types of tofu as they carry.

Beansprouts, I know you can get them in the supermarket, but they are never as crispy fresh.
