Gallangal

Can anyone please tell me where can I buy this fresh? Most thai/asian recipes call for this but omitting it is definitely not as tasty. Please help??!

I suppose it depends on where you live choywan. I can't buy fresh galangal where I live but have recently bought some in a Thai grocers in London and froze it. However, if you can't get to an asian/Thai grocer, you can buy it online:

I agree that you can't omit it but you can substitute it with fresh ginger (not exactly the same but very close), which is widely available in supermarkets.
