I am super excited!! That market is the only one I found that carries it. Going to brew a cup now. Thanks again! Hope u have a good trip to San Fran! I loved the oysters at Swans Oyster bar near Chinatown.

Seeking Vietnamese Coffee Press and Vietnamese Coffee in Vancouver

Hi Greyelf!!

Best tip! Thanks. Found the exact trung nguyen coffee you had mentioned at Dong Thanh Supermarket on kingsway. They also sell the filters. Coffee for 500g is $6.59 and coffee filters are $4.99. There's another store, My Tho Supermarket next door, 1116 Kingsway that also carries the filters @ $4.99. Packaging at My tho looks nicer; but they have a limited selection. Surprised that my 4 block walk only yielded two stores that sells it.

Chowhound readers, do you have a cheaper place in Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond that you found to have cheaper coffee filters? Would like to buy more.

Thanks!!

Where to go in Vancouver if you only have one meal (lunch)?

Totally agree with Sam on transiting on Canada Line to downtown. Costs $8 and only takes 25 min. You can cab from any Canada Line station. Richmond boasts the most selection of Chinese foods; so if you are craving Asian, check there. I personally like Cardero's which is near Stanley Park; great views and good food. Otherwise, try Market by Jean-George which is downtown. No shortage of good options in Vancouver. You can even stop by one of the many street food carts scattered around downtown. Should definitely come back to visit longer, even if only for the food! :-)

Seeking Vietnamese Coffee Filters in Vic or Calgary

Hi Grayelf,

I know this was an older post from you but I'm looking for the vietnamese coffee filters you are mentioning. Is there a particular store that carries them on Kingsway? Is this in the Little Vietnam in Vancouver?

Where do you get the Trung Nguyen coffee from? I'm dying to replicate this drink at home myself.

Thanks,
Shopaholic!

Bonito Flakes (Vancouver)

Hi,

I'm looking to buy Bonito Flakes to make dashi and I did not locate this item on my last visit to T&T Metrotown. Which stores can I find this in Vancouver?

Thank you!
