The Malaysian, South Asian, and products from other exotic locales are phenomenal - you have to shop here if you are a self-proclaimed foodie or a newly minted student with culinary aspirations.

Product 'shout out' -- Desi brand, pot barley…read more I had thought I knew and enjoyed the nutty, flavourful taste of barley. Until quite recently though, I had only purchased, cooked, and tasted 'pearl' barley. After reading about the significant nutritional, and flavourful benefits gained from 'pot' barley, I decided it was a barley to try. I was in for a very awakening surprise. Pot barley product purchased at Spice Bazaar -- 'Desi Barley Pot'. Cooking and tasting experiences to date: pot barley definitely takes longer to cook than the pearl product (as expected, it is not as processed), but swells up much more in size from cooking, and flavour gains are almost unbelievable. So far, I have only enjoyed it in soups. Time to look for some other uses and recipes to enjoy its wonderful flavour and texture.

That works out to $2 per onigiri and that's got to be the best deal in town for Onigiri, especially given the size of these ones. Got pretty much the same flavors as previously. Mostly Tuna and Salmon onigiris, some of them with mayo, some of them spicy. The one flavor I took this time that was a new one for us was Kimchi Onigiri. I had tried Kimchi Onigiri earlier this year from Market Ribbon and I absolutely loved it. This one from Kim's Mart wasn't bad but personally, I prefer the one from Market Ribbon. The flavor from that one tastes better somehow. The Onigiri here are better when purchased directly from the Zenya food stall in International Village, but for a quick, affordable and cold bite to eat on a hot summer's day, 2 for $3.98 is pretty hard to beat!

Imagine the shock if I didn't check the price and got home to an unexpected price tag. Even though extremely confusing, neither of the price tags shown were accurate for the item. The cashier didn't even apologize for the inaccurate pricing, honour it, or seem to change the price tag. It might be still cheap, but I hate being lied to, so I didn't buy it. Not coming back again! I don't care if it's cheaper than H mart! This will be the very first and very last time I come here. If you do decide to come, remember to check your receipt.

Parking is plentiful in the lot in the front (back?) of the building, as well as on the street. The building clearly used to be 3 different businesses, as the layout is really bizarre. There are 3 large "rooms", joined by a corridor. To be honest, this place is probably quite the fire hazard to newcomers. Thank goodness somebody had the sense to stick a large map on the wall. Some doorways between the sections would be nice. With that out of the way, there are 3 sections. Product, meat/aquarium (yes, aquarium), and dried goods. Pricing is in line with other places. The place is quite popular with locals, which tells you everything you need to know. As with other similar businesses, there is a hot food section as well. I picked up some takeout and it was mediocre. Does the job, but nothing special. I imagine this place serves the local market quite well. Wouldn't make a special trip out, but good to know the place exists.

Happy Veggie World produces and sells quality plant based alternatives to meat for both retail and…read morethe food service industry. They have just about every kind of faux meat product a Vegetarian or Vegan could ever want. I was amazed at the vast selection of plant based Asian foods they carry. In their shop you can find plant based versions of hot pot lamb, vietnamese lemongrass chick'n, chinese dim sum items such as Lo Bak Go ( turnip cake ), shredded meat floss and so much more. The company has been around since 1995, so it's been close to 30 years that they've been making and selling their meat alternatives. While they started out supplying plant based foods within Canada, they have now grown to become an international producer and supplier of quality plant based products. Their company was founded on a desire to protect the environment and that respect for Mother Nature hasn't changed. I came home with Vegan Xiao Long Bao (Shanghainese dumplings) and Vegan Lo Bak Go (turnip cake). The Xiao Long Bao were honestly quite disappointing. Some of them got stuck together in the steamer and then it was hard to pry them apart. Regular Xiao Long Bao usually has soup inside the dumpling but there wasn't any soup inside these dumplings, and they didn't taste anything like regular Xiao Long Bao. Eating these with Black Vinegar is a "must" as they really don't taste very good on their own. The Vegan Lo Bak Go were much better. Still not as tasty as the genuine article. Without any sausage or dried shrimp, it was somehow lacking something. However, for a more eco friendly option, we found it to be sufficient. I wouldn't buy the Vegan Xiao Long Bao again, but the Vegan Lo Bak Go is something I could live with and be happy enough to eat. I recently tried an excellent Vegan Lemongrass chicken at a Vegan Vietnamese restaurant and wonder if Happy Veggie World is the supplier. I'm thinking...most likely. Might come back to Happy Veggie World and try buying their Vegan Lemongrass Chicken one day. I'm also very curious to try their Vegan Meat Floss. I used to eat that with my congee when I growing up, and it's been years since I last had it! Even though the Xiao Long Bao was a disappointment, I still give this place credit for even attempting to make a Vegan version of it. It's a hard item to imitate, and I'm still very impressed with the extensive collection of Vegan offerings they have. Some things are hit and miss to be sure, but it's nice to know of a place that has so many plant based foods to choose from. Even regular foods that are made from real meat don't always taste good. I would happily shop here again and would definitely recommend others to come and check out this place! Service: Good Parking: Free Location: 120 - 8291 Ackroyd Rd., Richmond

A variety of products predominately from Taiwan but a few others mixed in as well. Great quality plus the handful of processed/artificial often found in Asian ingredients. The products that called me out were the Taiwanese 'vegan floss'; I got 2 types with truly unique ingredient combos. It's a great shredded texture for mixing in food like rice bowls or soups (and as toppings). The store is pretty plain and simple but not bad. The lady working was super friendly with historical things and chit chat. I think only a few types of these stores exist on the entire west coast. As such, a few of them might wholesale to other cafes/restaurants. It'll be interesting to see their future retail/wholesale plans; I'd love to see more cafes/restaurants source these stores for local supplier support of vegetarian/vegan options (for any combination of entrees and/or toppings).
