EZ ASIAN MART is an Asian supermarket at 5 Bell Block Court in Bell Block, a suburb just northeast of central New Plymouth, and it holds a 4.8 rating from its eight Google reviews.
A good Asian supermarket earns its keep on pantry depth: several kinds of soy sauce, chilli oils, rice vinegar, dried noodles and rice in sacks bigger than the mainstream chains bother with. The freezers are often the real find, holding dumplings, bao and roti you won't see in the big supermarkets, while greens such as bok choy and gai lan turn over quickly. Sauces and noodles there often cost less than their counterparts on the main chains' shelves, too. And when a label is unfamiliar, asking at the counter usually gets you a quick explanation or a substitute suggestion.
For Bell Block households and New Plymouth cooks alike, it puts a broader Asian pantry within easy reach.
