The latest T&T in the GTA has landed.
I like this one the most, its departments are large, bright, well displayed, spacious and planned, almost feeling like it's taken a chapter from its parent company Loblaw's in the planning department. No T&T that I've been to so far are identical. Each one has been a little different based on size of the store and locale.
On this Sunday afternoon, it felt very much like a Costco experience with food sampling around each corner. Drinks to dim sum, I could eat an entire meal consisting of samples here. :)
Unique aspect at this location I'd like to highlight is the fresh dumpling and noodle station. There's a person making this stuff right in front of your eyes. You get hungry looking at it and be damned I got to get me some those dumplings the next time I visit.
One area that is sorely lacking though is the dairy department. The cheese selection is slim! Could this be due to culture or lactose intolerance?
Although it was Sunday afternoon and the store was bustling the checkout process was quick and all checkout aisles were open. It's always good sign to be able to shop and be able to get the heck out in a reasonable amount of time. There have been many times I've been turned off by the lines, drop the food and leave the store.
