T&T Supermarket

Gorgeous day today, we are officially into the fall season and I put out a few decorations and put the summer ones away.

Today I made an early morning trip to the T&T Chinese supermarket in my area. (After 10am it becomes a zoo.) I saw some fresh dates there and decided to give them a try. It must be the season for them. They are tart, crisp and sweet all at the same time tasting of a dried date. It has a pit in the middle of course, I ate it like a small plum and loved it.

I also found some nice shitake mushrooms which we will grill on the barbecue. They have a meaty taste.

They have section where you can order dim sum to go or to stay, as well as Japanese and Vietnamese dishes and lots more cooked noodles, salads, etc. Of course, everything is very reasonably priced. There is a bakery section where I got some gorgeous looking fruit tarts, piled high with exotic fruit including fire dragon fruit from Thailand. Can't wait to try it.

The best part is all the servers seem to speak English (it's a supermarket chain from B.C.) and so all kinds of people seem to feel comfortable going there.

You can get every kind of food in Toronto, it's wonderful finding new, good things to eat. Even better if they're healthy.
