Every few weeks I stop by P.A.T. Central on Bloor Street to pick up some food items that I can't find on my usual grocery route. While the store is likely to underwhelm anyone who's tasted the T&T Supermarket experience, it's still a great spot to pick up supplies close to the Bloor Subway line.
On a recent trip I picked up a handful of fresh vegetables, some tofu (they have a great selection - tubed, firm, soft - and cheap!), kimchi and seaweed. I admired the fresh sashimi and mackarel (above); gave a once-over of the frozen bulgogi and surprised some onlookeers by taking some pics of the salted shrimp.

P.A.T. Central has a good selection of prepared foods including the ready-to-mix bibimbap. Just add rice!
The shelves stock lots of items you'd be pressed to find elsewhere such as Pulmuone seafood juice.
There's a whole section devoted to canned, liquid coffees.
The aforementioned salted shrimp.

The fact that this store is at the end of my street make it WAY too tempting. Mmmm, the melon pops and coffee drinks are awesome.
