Part Chinese/English lesson/translation…read more Part butchery lesson relating to the above. Part Cantonese beef stew lesson. Part store review. All rolled into one. To start, this is thoroughly via trial and error on my part making 牛腩煲 aka beef (brisket) stew. Trying to make the stew by buying the western butchery cut of beef brisket results in a inauthentic launch of the desired result. Don't buy it if that's what your goal is. Don't buy from Safeway/Save-on or any other Western butcher of you want the "proper" Asian result. 牛腩 is beef brisket in Chinese. Technically, this is what it is. In reality, not so much. Why? Because in Chinese, there is no real distinction of the different cuts of the underside of the cow. It's all called the same thing in Chinese. In other words, in English butchery, generally speaking going from front to back there is: brisket, plate, and flank. This is all classified under one Chinese term. Brisket is the breast/chest area of the cow, in terms of western butchery. The cut used in Chinese beef stew is actually known as drop flank or rough flank, closer to the rear of the underside. This is not sold in western butchery stores. Come here and ask for it. Surprisingly, a younger guy here who spoke English had no idea what I was talking about, and an older lady who spoke Cantonese knew. She understood the different cuts even though they were all the same label in Chinese. She was most helpful. I ended up with beef plate. Close enough to the untrimmed flank I was really after. Guess how it was labelled in Chinese? Yep, you guessed it! $7.88/lb. OK pricing. As an aside, the lady also pointed me towards beef finger meat. Known as 牛坑腩 - another variation of "brisket' in Chinese. This cut would be a second choice for me for the stew. I've done it before with this cut. It's a factory. Don't expect fancy supermarket decor. It is was it is. Private parking lot and street parking available. They do speak English Cash debit only.

Their product is top of the line. You walk in there and the meat options are endless! I have never scene so much bacon in my life. I am a huge lover of bacon and this was the perfect spot. The staff is very knowledgeable about their cuts of meat and when they are uncertain they will call an expert from the back. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm from the staff. They answered all my silly questions and knew how to dig information out of me to understand what I wanted in meat so they could provide the best product. I have yet to enjoy their prepared foods but one day I am going to make a meal out of it. They have somosas, kebabs, sweet spud fries etc. This is one amazing market and it appears the island has embraced it as well. If you find yourself coming to the island and needing supplies you will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop by the Cowichan Valley Meat Market.

Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon.

He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently been way below expectations. Every time I call the store, the staff often sound impatient, unwilling to answer questions, and at times even sarcastic. The lady that's usually the cashier is really sweet though. When you are paying premium prices for high-quality beef, you also expect respectful and courteous service. It's a shame, because if the customer experience were better, I would gladly shop there even more often.

I called ahead before heading down here, "Do you have center cut tenderloin?", "Yes we have a lot". Well that was dumb of me for being not specific enough on what I'm trying to make. When I got there, I talked to one of the staff asking for the tenderloin. They proceed to show the center cut tenderloin which been cut to steak size. I explained that I'm planning to make Wellington, and that would not work. They went to the back, but couldn't find any, and told me it was sold out earlier. Then they talked about the other tenderloin cut, which twirled using string, they said I can use it but they wouldn't recommend it for Wellington as there is muscle which going to make it tough. I decided to just get the prosciutto, and another staff came to help me. They asked how much I need and what I'm making. Once they learned that I'm making Wellington, they dig around for the center cut and there was one left! Christmas is saved! Cost about $113.68 for 1.146 kg of center cut tenderloin, very good price!
