However, shopping in Novosibirsk is not limited in any way as the Russian city in Siberia is well developed and houses modern stores and malls just like you see in some of the cities of the Occident.
Shop till You Drop
Most of the shopping plazas of Novosibirsk are situated in the heart of Novosibirsk. Despite bearing a modest appearance with exteriors resembling small and crude shelters, the shops sell all essential articles such as foodstuff, drinks, garments, woolens, hats, etc. The savvy marketplace near the Train Station displays for sale, groceries, utensils, caviar and other fish, mutton products, bags, accessories, and even costume jewelry.
Just like most fashionable marts, the supermarket sells electronic gadgets too. So, you are not to worry if you’ve forgotten to bring your laptop for the Novosibirsk tours and travels. For in the supermarket, you will witness a whole atrium dedicated to the sale of laptops, computers, digital cameras and camcorders, mobile phones, giant-screened televisions popularly known as ‘home theaters’, scientific calculators, CD-ROMs and computer peripherals.
Eat, Drink and be Merry while Shopping in Novosibirsk
And in the course of shopping in Novosibirsk, you should dine at the food court of the supermarket. Most Russian meals are started by broths which comprise small meat chunks, shreds of cabbages and other vegetables and dollops of onions. You can order the Shashlyk for your main course. The Shashlyk comprises red meat which is immersed in vinegar and other condiments for quite some time before it is roasted to high temperatures. The Shashlyk is cut into light and smooth fillets before it is served with more rhizomes and other garnishing to the diners. The Shashlyk had the distinction of being the chief delicacy of the inhabitants of most Russian cities in the early half of the twentieth century.
So fortify yourself with tasty dishes before you resume the adventure of shopping in Novosibirsk in the realms of the supermarket and the city’s other malls.
