| - Don't get me wrong, I looooove Sunflower. Love it. I always felt it was missing something. I couldn't put my finger on it. Was it the lack of meat and seafood? Yes it was.
Lee Lee's is everything I have been looking for in a supermarket. A produce, meat and seafood section that goes beyond my wildest dreams. I could have spent a few hours in the store but I was on a time schedule.
You know how the back of a market usually covers liquor, meat, seafood and dairy? Not this place. It covers meat and seafood and that's it. it's huge! They had live tanks with cheap lobster, talipa, catfish, crabs and some fish I have never seen. Then there is a fish station with every fish I've ever heard of and maybe 20 others. They'll chop it up for you or fry it free of charge. The meat section has any cut of meat you could imagine. Bellies, feet and legs included. I didn't even know you could buy pork blood by the pound.
The produce is out of this world. Veggies I have never seen. Peaches the size of my head.... and every kind of choy you can think of. Best part, all of it was the same price of Sunflower, if not cheaper.
The aisles are incredible as well. A whole aisle dedicated to noodles!! An African aisle!?!!? Two Korean aisles. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They also had a wonderful imported beer lane but I don't think it compares to the prices at Topps liquor.
I was so overwhelmed on what to buy so I kept it to a minimum. I bought the produce I normally buy and I saved a good amount of money. I bought a fish I've never heard of and now I have to figure out how to cook it. I saved a lot of money buying it. 4 pounds for $7.
Without a doubt, next time I go I am going to have some recipes in mind. I am so glad my wife likes trying new things because we're going to be having Thai, Korean, African, Chinese food for quite some time.
