OMG. I am going to have NOTHING useful to say. If you were to transcribe my in-store dialogue during the First Visit, it would be like, "wauughhh ahhhhhh muhhhhhh guh." I'm such a sucker for shiny, new things.
So I assume we all know the basics - owned by Loblaws and specializing in Asian groceries. Huge. Clean. Lots of seafood and meats that look fresh. A baked goods section that makes me move in slow motion and sometimes in reverse. A fresh prepared foods section that runs the gamut of sushi, dim sum and Korean. (I've been told to come at dinner rush for the REAL experience, but sifting post dinner rush discount meals was a riot. "Soft Sweet Bits"?!? What the hell are those?! LET'S BUY THEM.)
I could have spent 5 hours just roaming the aisles and inspecting everything in detail ("what's this?! What's THAT? OMG *brain explode*). Like I said, I love new foody things and if I didn't force myself to tackle the aisles logically, I'd be all over the place like a confused hummingbird.
Why have I been spending 3 bucks on soy sauce?! It's practically free here.
Downside: located in the middle of nowhere. Well, if you don't have a car. I will only be able to go here once every 5 years.
