Summary: Planning to host friends this Victoria Day weekend? Toronto's Asian supermarkets have you covered with ready-to-serve party food at better-than-usual prices. This guide covers the best picks for a crowd-pleasing spread without spending hours in the kitchen.
Introduction
Hosting for a long weekend doesn't have to mean cooking from scratch for hours. Toronto's Asian supermarkets carry an impressive range of ready-made and semi-prepared party food — and this week, several of the best options are on sale.
🦆 Crispy Roast Duck – $19.99/ea (reg. $29.99, SAVE $10)
📍 Kings Fair
A whole roast duck for under $20 is genuinely excellent value. It feeds 6–8 people as part of a larger spread, putting the per-person cost well under $3.50. Call ahead to confirm availability — during long weekends, roast ducks sell out before noon.
🦐 Live Vancouver Red Shrimp – On sale Saturday
📍 Freshpro Foodmart Richmond Hills
Vancouver red shrimp are prized for their natural sweetness and firm texture. White-poached with ginger and dipping sauce is the cleanest way to serve them. Price confirmed in store — arrive before 10am Saturday for the best selection.
🐷 BBQ Lechon (Crispy Roast Pork) – $16.99/lb
📍 B Trust (North York)
Filipino-style lechon has built a strong following in Toronto's Asian food community. The crackling skin and juicy meat make it an instant crowd favourite. Pair with a garlic vinegar dipping sauce for the full experience.
🍱 Foody Sushi Party Tray C – $12.99 (reg. $14.99)
📍 C&C Supermarket
Saving $2. Around 20–24 pieces per tray, making it a solid appetiser or interlude between heavier dishes. Buy the day of your gathering — sushi trays are best fresh.
🍝 Party Tray Holiday Sale – 10% OFF
📍 AL Premium (Eglinton) (Fried noodles, fried rice, rice cake, spicy minced pork, shrimp and more)
The easiest solution for a no-cook long weekend spread. Mix a few trays, arrange them on the table, and you have a complete meal without turning on a burner.
Plating tip
Put the roast duck in the centre, arrange the shrimp around it, place the sushi tray on one side and the party trays around the outside. It photographs better than it sounds.
