Um, here seems as good a place to ask. Some friends from NZ and I have been trying to recall whether you can buy galangal in NZ?
It's a kinda vaguely floral tasting root, looks like ginger but pink. I've also seen it dry in strips.
I don't remember seeing it, but maybe I didn't know where to look.

I'm in Melbourne. Sorry, if I wasn't clear, I can get galangal here and I love it. What I'm trying to figure out is whether you can get it in NZ as well, cos I never used it when I was in NZ.
When swapping recipes with friends (as all self respecting kiwi blokes do, right?) I threaten to give them laksa recipes and so on involving galangal but I don't know if it's available.
