Post subject: OK, I give up...vanilla extract?

I sure tried hard: Carrefour (3 different stores) - no. Century mart - no. Pines (2 different stores) - no. I found maple extract, banana extract, and even "vanilla sugar", but no vanilla extract. Vanilla is so common in western style desserts, there HAS to be some somewhere. Right?

Any suggestions?

Did you try City Supermarket? The stock of vanilla extract is variable though, so when you find it buy a few.

Exactly:
I bought it yesterday in the City Shop supermarket at Shanghai Center
Nanjing lu 1376 (near Xikang lu)

Hong Mei Lu City Supermarket has it - the McCormick brand from the US. Also have seen a big bottle of Watkins vanilla in the basement of Times Square - not sure if they are there anymore but just outside of City Supermarket there was a kiosk with Watkins products: http://www.watkinsonline.com/
