| - I heard from a friend that T&T opened their newest location at where the old National Sports used to be, and lobsters were 4.99 a pound during the grand opening week. I made plans, cleared my schedule...and in the end didn't get around to coming here.
Now, this location is a monthly visit for me. I never paid any attention to the isles for shopping, as the space isn't comparable to the one at Warden in space, but the pre-made/cooked food section is much better, and looks much more cleaner.
The dumplings become rock hard after 3pm, so get it before that time. Three times I came here and ordered the fried dumplings; three times I almost cut my mouth open trying to eat it.
The canteen area for eating on location is less chaotic than any other location. The boys at the Buttonville Airport can be found here on a daily basis lunching in their uniforms. For you girls who like fly boys, this is where you can find them.
I find that the seafood display to be under-whelming and this is a major short-coming as this is usually a highlight of a Chinese grocer. Child or adult, we enjoy looking at fish. The livestock of the sea conjures curiosity; it entertains the patrons, and brings in large cash for the seller. This location is just dull, with dirty fish tanks, and half dead zombie-like swimmers.
Let me mention that the traffic outside of this T&T is an absolute nightmare.
The closest entrance to the plaza is right by the intersection of 16th & Woodbine. Onslaughts of oncoming cars floods down from the East every couple of minutes, and all the vehicles coming off of the 404 from the West makes exiting almost impossible at rush hours. The other entrances are almost utilized...because...people are stupid. Constantly there are cars parked outside the store entrance like it's a nightclub, and if the middle finger were a common Chinese gesture, it would be the most used expression among the populous within 20 square metres of this area.
These are the factors which makes driving here a most harrowing experience.
...What? You think I was going to make a comment about Asian driving?
Screw you bro!
