Ottawa Foodies

Uni Mart (in the plaza on Montreal road just across the bridge from Rideau Street) is like Kowloon, but bigger, cleaner and you can get some items (i.e. Jasmine essence and Pandan essence) that I couldn't find in Kowloon. Also, if you drive there is parking there. Same bakery products as Kowloon, as well as takeout duck, shrimp, chicken wings, springrolls etc which are convenient but only so-so taste wise.

I hate to go to Kowloon Market in the winter. The place stinks and my jacket absorbs the smell. They need a major cleanup inside to get rid of the odor!

They have powder for making instant dashi. Look on the wall of Japanese products to the right of the cashiers.

I find their's a bit too salty. Will try again though, could-a been the batch.
