    This is another grocery store that i hit because of proximity. It's dirty, like many Asian grocery stores, but has decent variety. It has a pretty big produce section with fresh-ish ingredients, a meat section with all the main and obscure meats that I like, as well as a decent frozen section with frozen seafood, dumplings, Chinese desserts, etc. It also has buns for bahn mi!!!

    There's also a little section for medicines where someone stands at the counter and gets you stuff.

    What I love most about this place is the prices. Due to proximity (I really need to move) I often find myself at Loblaws, where the price of fruit and vegetables is usually 3 times the price of this place. The only problem is, I'm only in this area once a week, and the veggies just don't hold up that long.

    It's small.. it's cramped.. and you'll want to get outta here as quick as possible!

    However, like all the other "tai" supermakets (there's a chain of a few in the GTA) it's got super cheap produce!  My grocery bills are half the cost and I can get fresh seafood.

    The only bonus is this place has got a BBQ stall as well.  That means yummie roasted pork, char-sui pork, soya chicken, roasted chicken and roasted duck.  I used to make the trek out here just because it had cheap sweet and sour pork too.  You can get a decent boxfull for $3.  It's so tough to beat.

    My Tip of the Day?  Bring elbow pads!
