The Hilo farmers market has most if not all of the fresh ingredients you're looking for. Then there is the TNT Seafood Imports & Asian Grocery on Bayfront that has all the bottled and canned requirements for making tasty Thai food and other Asian foods.
We now grow lemon grass and kiffar lime. And I now think will try the galangal.
Happy cooking.

Tom,
It's great you're growing these somewhat exotic produce. I have grown 'Lemon Grass' before. I found for me the best results for Lemon Grass was almost 50-50 soil to sand combo...she grew like a weed in that enviornment!
In Honolulu I never thought about getting & growing a Kiffar Lime tree because the leaves were at every Asian Market I encountered. But it looks a bit different here in Puna/Hilo.
Tom where did you find a Kiffar Lime Tree and Lemon Grass to grow....if you don't mind me asking?
