| - Oh, PAT, with all your kimchi and pickly delights, you put a spring in my step and a stank in my fridge.
I can shop in nearby Chinatown to stock my Asian larder with soy sauce, soba noodles, and sesame oil. But when I need a taste of the homeland, I make the trek to Bloor Street Koreatown.
If you wondered who's buying the fire hydrant-sized jars of kimchi, that'd be me. I also come here to get meat for Korean BBQ, dried anchovies for soup stock, doenjang (a miso-like paste on fermentation steroids), Korean chili flakes, and a hundred other esoteric pantry items for the Korean cook.
PAT also carries a decent selection of Japanese goods and appliances. It's where I bought my trusty Zojirushi rice cooker, the Rolls-Royce of rice cookers.
