I'm shopping tomorrow at Korean Korner and Kam Sen in Rockville. Due to limited driving hours (i'm using zipcar) I won't be able to make it out to VA for Great Wall or Eden Center. I can't remember if I've ever seen shrimp paste at KK or KS. Anyone know? If not at those places, any recommendations for a grocery in the general area that would carry the paste? Thanks!

There is a thai market in Silver Spring and I'm sure they would carry shrimp paste. But I'm hoping to find it in KK or KS and cut down on the driving. I'm looking for cheap produce (KK) and Chinese ingredients and goods (KS) and Vietnamese... Thu Jul 02 15:39:42 -0700 2009 4825609 44282 tdonline 2 4825671 Kam Sen and Maxim's should carry it. It's a common ingredient. I don't know about Korean Korner.

Didn't carry the brand I usually use, but there was a good selection. Next zipcar rental will involve a trip to the Great Wall Supermarket for some hardcore Chinese stuff but KK is a good "local" place for produce. Sun Jul 05 12:05:55 -0700 2009 4825671 44282 tdonline
