| - C & T Supermarket joins the ranks of Thai Foo and Kim Phat on the South Shore for all your asian food needs.
I visited them today, a couple weeks after their opening on October 18. To differentiate themselves from their two competitors, they publish weekly flyers advertising store specials, also available on their website.
It's a much cleaner and modern looking store, with bright lighting, flooring and spacious aisles. I've always had the feeling that asian markets look unorganized and cluttered, so we'll see how long this lasts.
Good selection of products however their prices don't stand out- very comparable to others in the area. You'll find decent deals for fruits and veggies, they have discounted items on the lower shelf if you're ok with slightly bruised or mismatched fruit baskets. There's a butcher, barbecue and sandwich counter as well as nice looking seafood market too. The only thing missing is a bakery, unlike Thai Foo or Kim Phat, you won't find any pastries or cakes. I wouldn't bother buying basic staples here like bread, eggs and any kind of dairy product , it's overpriced.
Perks: I find the location easier to get to and there's ample parking. They're open everyday until 9 pm, even weekends! They accept credit card for purchases of 10$ or more, otherwise there is a 25cent charge, and their plastic bags are free for now.
