| - This store opened in spring or summer of 2014, and I believe is a sister store to Marche Fu Tai in Cote des Neiges. Sheng Tai is an Asian store that carries a large selection of economically-priced grocery items. I pick up all of my staples here: fresh rice noodles, Chinese veggies, dried shitake mushrooms, sweet rice, dumpling wrappers, azuki beans, fresh tofu, Asian sauces, and the like. On the downside, their bakery section is somewhat lacking; I still have to go to Chinatown for baked goods and steamed buns.
There is a prepared hot food section at the rear of the store that is also inexpensive. You can buy a package (15) of fried dumplings or spring roll appetizers for $4, as well as combination plates including stirfried meat or veggies, noodles and/or fried rice for less than $8. A very filling and cheap lunch option, in my opinion.
All in all, a convenient addition to the west island. There is ample parking in the lot, and you can use the provided wheeled baskets free, otherwise use of a traditional grocery cart is $1 (refundable upon return). I will be returning frequently to shop for Asian grocery items here.
