Where can you buy Bombay duck in GTA?

foodyDudey: Thanks for the two tips. I presume you are Indian, sorry if I'm mistaken. Any Indian seafood stores in Toronto that you know? If yes, where?

Charles: Here is a link for you on Bombay duck if you have any interest in doing some followup.

Where can you buy Bombay duck in GTA?

Has anyone seen Bombay duck being sold anywhere in GTA?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_duck

According to this article, it's available fresh in Toronto where there is a large Indian population. Has anyone seen it in a Chinese supermarket?

Any tip is greatly appreciated!

What is the different between Korean soy sauce and Chinese soy sauce? [moved from Ontario]

I'd like to try making my own Kalbi sauce for a change and wonder what the difference is in taste between Korean soy sauce and Chinese soy sauce?

Or a better question is what types of soy sauces do Koreans use for their cooking?

Below is a good link on the recipe.

▇▇▇ Looking for economical do-it-yourself sushi ingredient suppliers ▇▇▇

I've been to the PAT's in Scarborough and they don't have fresh fish.

Foody's Supermarket at Warden and Bamborough has a sushi counter. They have a guy who supplies them with ready-made stuff. All they have to do is make the rice and place the ingredients on top.

This is what I'm looking for, ready-made sushi ingredients at a reasonable cost.

Thanks!

▇▇▇ Looking for economical do-it-yourself sushi ingredient suppliers ▇▇▇

Thank you for reading this post.

I'm planning to make sushi for my own consumption. I am looking for stores/individuals that sell sushi ingredients at a reasonable price. I find Taro's Fish's ingredients are pricier than Chinese supermarkets sell their final products. Does anyone know any store or individual supplier, preferable in the North York, Scarborough areas that you can recommend?

Thank you in advance!

Dim Sum lunch at Regal 16 - Ordinary presentation but great tasting.

Just an observation, it's interesting how two different individuals can have two completely different opinions on the same restaurant - Regal 16.

Spiny Lobster

Has anyone ever tasted spiny lobster before? What is the taste like compared to American lobster? Where to buy in GTA? And how much a pound?

ericdunn in Ontario (including Toronto)

The search for acceptable Dim Sum continues! - This time, 'Sam Woo Seafood Restaurant'.

Hi Charles,

Appreciate this type of threads you started. Hope you also provide the pricing at each Dim Sum restaurant as well. (e.g., price for Small, Medium, Large, and special price hours, etc.)

Have you come across any restaurant charging lower than $1.50 a dish?

Please welcome anyone else to contribute.

Regards,

"cioppino".

No, that's still not it. This is Italian. There is an English name for it. It just escaped my mind.

Price of kosher salt

The price of kosher salt at no frills is $4.99, three times the price of sea salt. Is this normal? I thought it's cheaper to make kosher salt? Could someone shed some light?

Looking for the best kaiser bread in Toronto

Thanks for your reply juno! Yes, Kaiser rolls is what I meant. The last time I was at Bagel Plus I was told they didn't sell kaiser rolls.

I wish there were more of these types of Jewish bagel shops in the east end. Are there any in Scarborough?

Where to buy FRESH imitation crab meat ?

jayt90,

Thank u so much for that complete answer! By fresh I meant not frozen before. But as you said, you can't guarantee that it has never been frozen before.

Taro's seems to be a bit pricy though.

Where to buy FRESH imitation crab meat ?

The type of imitation crab meat sticks they sell in Chinese supermarkets are frozen. By the time you defrost them, they just don't taste good. So I'm looking for fresh ones, like the ones in the pic. Anyone knows where you can get them?

I'm also looking for fresh sushi and sashimi ingredients at reasonable prices in the Scarborough, North York area.

Where can you buy uncooked e-fu noodles in Toronto?

Thank you all for your replies, especially "ssainani" for the pic!

"Sweetie" is right. I saw the version "ssainani" provided. But it looked much thicker, hard and very easily breakable, so I didn't think that was it!

Thank you all again!
