Kee's Mart Filipino & Asian Food Store is an Asian supermarket at 54 Montgomery Square, Maitai, Nelson, with a Google rating of 4.4. By its name, it focuses on Filipino and other Asian foods.
A good Asian supermarket helps people find the ingredients they know from home, and helps others try something new. Typical stock includes rice, noodles, sauces such as soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce and chilli paste, spices, canned and dried goods, frozen foods, snacks and drinks, and staff are usually happy to explain how to use unfamiliar items. Ask what is new in stock, check use-by dates on imported goods and read labels for allergens, since many products are imported with labels in other languages. Regulars stock up on rice and pantry staples in larger bags, which are usually better value, and ask staff for recipe ideas.
For people in Nelson and the Tasman region, Kee's Mart in Montgomery Square is a local place to find Filipino and Asian groceries.
