Marche Oriental St-Denis

I came here by chance and holy hannah am I happy I’ve found an Asian supermarket not far from Marche Jean Talon. Reason being I’m frequently at MJT and there are times in which I feel like some char siu, sesame balls, dumplings or that asian ingredient to compliment my dish and I won’t have to go all the way to Marche Hawaii or Chinatown.
Prices here are your typical asian market. I appreciate that they don’t try to hose their own people with expensive overpricing.
They have a butcher and meat and fresh seafood section in the back and also quite odd, but not unusual their own jewellery shop as a stand alone enclosed kiosk in the store. It was closed on the day I was there.
Picked up some of my regular chicken cabbage dumplings but I shall be back to try some of their other goods and items.

Je préfère beaucoup Kim Phat mais si on né veut pas sortir de l’île, c’est définitivement l’endroit où aller. On retrouve de tout

i spent most of my childhood here and the now defunct grocery store on the other side of the street (which is now a driving school)
the store was all kind of awesome back in the days as it was one of the few viable asian grocery stores in town (outside of chinatown).
it doesn’t have the same charm as it used to. this is the 2^nd iteration as the 1^st one burned down 15 years ago if i remember correctly. it is better though. a lot cleaner, still offering the same produces at the same cheap price. with marché jean talon nearby, you can do some smart shopping and use both to your advantage.
always enjoy making a stop to grab some fresh banh cam (sesame balls) on the go and squish them to spread the bean paste around. mmm, childhood memory after school
are they the best? no. i believe that title belongs to kim phat. do they have the best bbq pork? no to that either. but for someone who grew up in the neighborhood and came back, for whom kim phat is too far and chinatown is expensive, this is simply the best next affordable option and i like it!
i wouldn’t recommend the banh mi though as there’s a fresh banh mi shop next door.

Pour trouver tout type d’ingrédients destinés à concocter des mets asiatiques, c’est parfait!
Personnellement, j’adore manger des plats qui ont une substance assez gluantes (oui, je vous l’avoue). J’ai trouvé mon bonheur!
Par contre, pour certains produits en vente, il est bon d’avoir des bases de chinois pour décoder les étiquettes, car parfois il n’y a pas de traduction anglaise, française, espagnol…
Quoi qu’il en soit, c’est très grand et on y trouve des aliments exotiques qu’on né trouve pas dans les épiceries ordinaires. Donc si vous souhaitez tester une recette asiatique et que vous né trouvez pas THE ingrédient inscrit sur votre livre de cuisine, dans ce magasin vous l’obtiendrez sûrement.

Definitely one of the best shopping options in the area! All kinds of hard to find Asian fruit and veg still fresh and healthy looking, rows and rows of sauces and not overpriced! (most recently: a big bottle of the thick sweet soy sauce, ie; the good on everything sauce. Like $ 3.) There’s also a quick helpful butcher in the back with again, fresh product, very fair prices, and up front near the cash you can get delicious bean curd sesame balls, Chinese donuts, spicy bahn mi, or a basket of take-​away chicken feet. They have the fresh rice noodles in the fridge, and all kinds of other tasty goodness I’ve still yet to discover!

Great Vietnamese grocery store. I go here to buy squid, quail, chinese donuts, nem, etc. Very reasonably priced and great variety of Vietnamese products. If you live in the area and need fish sauce/​hot sauce/​vermicelli or anything Chinese/​Vietnamese cuisine related, this is the place for you. Expect to spend $ 20/​less on several food items. There’s also a sweets section!
