Ottawa Foodies

Yes, I was thrilled when they opened! It's great to have somewhere in the west end that sells things we could only get on Somerset before.

Thanks for the tip about "choy sum Thursdays." ;-) I'll have to pay another visit soon.

This is "the" Chinese grocery store in Kanata. Ever since their opening, I have reduced my visits to 168 and Kowloon Market in Chinatown. Their vegetables are pretty good here. I myself found that their "choy sum" is the best (Thursday is the best). This store may not have the wide range of selection like 168 or Kowloon Market. But it meets my basic needs. Its existence in Kanata is very much appreciated during the winter time.

P.S. The owners (husband & wife) are very nice couple. They speak good English.

Have you ever tried this type of peanuts? There are two kinds, red label and blue label. We like the red label. The bag indicates that it is "made in Vietnam". It used to be "made in Singapore" and tasted better when the peanuts were seasoned and roasted in Singapore. Anyhow, they are good with beer. Once the bag is opened, we won't stop eating them.
