| - A Chinese supermarket with cheap food options? Why not?
A relatively new supermarket in Pickering, one that tries to rival blue sky supermarket little bit down the road. This is a Chinese supermarket which also has take-out options at your disposal. I decided to go here with my girlfriend to get some groceries for home. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that they also have options for you to buy take out. They have a hot bar, a bakery with fresh bread, and a sushi area to take out some fresh sushi.
The grocery area is like a typical Chinese supermarket - where you can get fresh fruits and veggies for a cheap price compared to the other supermarket chains. The selection is quite good and anything you are looking to find they should have as well.
After getting groceries we decided to get some takeout as well as we were quite hungry after shopping. They have a pretty good selection for food but when we tried it it is nothing spectacular. For the price of the meal though you cannot go wrong. A meal for two including a drink we probably paid about 10 bucks. They have a lot of options such as dim sum, rice combo's, and several meat options.
If you don't mind eating food that is a little bit older, probably a few hours old, they also pack up some leftovers that you can purchase for a discounted price.
If you visit them probably around an hour before closing they pack up any food that was not purchased during the day, such as bread, and will sell it for about a dollar or 2. Which is an absolutely steal. Mind you, don't expect gourmet bread or anything like that.
Overall this grocery is very well-run, with a lot of options for you to not only get groceries but have take-out options as well. This is probably my new go to supermarket in Pickering.
