This foreign foods market in the heart of Chinatown is definitely the go-to place if you need any ingredients for your homemade sushi, curry, dumplings, etc. They also have bottled drinks (like coconut water, guava and other exotic fruits' juices), fresh fruits and vegetables and even rice steamers, teapots and ceramic products (also chopsticks, rice bowls and sushi kits).
I like the fact that the place is super clean and not stinky, like many other asian/foreign mini markets. Prices are not as high as you may think, being all foreign products, all expiry dates are clearly printed - and you won't find expired items in the shelves. Also, they have divided the products in sections according to the type of cuisine, lots of Japanese and Chinese ingredients but also some Peruvian, Thai and few American products like pumpkin pie or sandwich spread. I normally get here all my noodles, udon, thai curries, fish sauce, tamarind paste, condensed milk and all the ingredients for the braised dumplings, even the plastic dough press to make them. Too bad the Mexican ingredients are very few and not the best brands they could get, otherwise it would be a 5-star place for me. read more
