Good Asian food is hard to find in Ottawa - I go to Kowloon market a lot, but I definitely don't love the place. T&T has a lot - a lot - of Asian products, from the nicest crabs and lobsters I've seen in Ottawa to cute Japanese sanitary napkins. They really have a huge selection.
The seafood department is great, a lot of gorgeous live creatures (the dungeness and king crabs were beautiful), and tons of frozen seafood too (fish, prawns, shellfish, sea cucumber, shark fins ($47 for about half a pound). Tons of fresh baked goods, gorgeous produce, fresh and dried noodles, Asian drinks... You get the picture. It rocks :)
For $25.72 we picked up:
- 3 cans of coconut cream
- a nice big succulent piece of sugar cane (YUM)
- a gift box of Japanese rice crackers
- tons of beautiful fresh ginger
- fresh coconut buns from the bakery
- prawn crackers
- mango and litchee pudding
- grass jelly
- two cans of coconut water
- three tiny moon cakes
- dong gua (winter melon)
It is awesome isn't it? It really is wonderful. Two things I really miss about Vancouver are the little asian markets and T&T. If only it was not so far south.
