Living in Dhaka, Bangladesh: Buying Food

Buying Food in Dhaka: Urban life in Bangladesh, particularly in the upper-income areas, is changing fast. Just a few years ago it was not possible to buy daily necessary items like vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, milk, dairy products, toiletries etc. in one single shop.

But now you can find shops like Agora Superstores at 101 Gulshan Avenue -RM Centre and other similar shops or mini-supermarkets in and around Baridhara, Banani, Dhanmondi and Gulshan areas where wealthy Bangladeshis and most expatriates live.
