When I first went to Strawberry Point I realised that the entire time I'd been living in the…read moreneighbourhood I'd been doing my grocery shopping wrong. While technically a greengrocer, strawberry point is closer to supermarket in size and closer to farmers market in price. It's pretty standard for me to do my entire weeks fruit and veg for under $30. They have a bulk meat freezer too where most product is cryovac sealed. Check out the weekly specials and the $2 pre pack produce specials (good for same or next day use). The quality is usually above the major supermarkets too. Cannot recommend enough.

The Vermont South Delicatessen is a cacophony of smells and sounds. There is a generous array of…read moreherbs, spices, cheeses, meats like salami and sausages, nuts, pasta and continental groceries. The staff in here are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and they are happy to share. They love answering questions, providing info and giving taste tests to back up their explanations. The shop is often quite busy and runs on a number service system - make sure to grab a card from the counter or you'll be waiting a while. My Mum loves this place and is always popping in to get herself a treat for an afternoon snack or dessert platter. It is a great place to go to get some good nibblies for a party or special event. The staff are happy to put together a package for you without making you spend a fortune. Give them a try.

I pretty much judge an Asian Grocer these days on three categories, in order of importance:…read more 1) Does it sell those really yummy kueh things I love? 2) Does it sell the packet noodles that are gluten free at a reasonable price? 3) What is the vegetable selection like? Answers: No, Yes, and s'all right. The staff ignored me when I went in, as well. I think, given that I'm spoiled for choice in Glen Waverley, I'll stick to there for the time being. However, if I'm in the area and craving instant noodles (I don't have the luxury, if you can call it that, of Mi Goreng) then I'll pop in.

It's a good place but I used to live in GlenWaverley and was spoilt for choice…read more It does have a rather good selection on instant noodles but if they run out of a particular brand/flavour you are fond of it seems you are in for a long wait for them to get more in stock as I have been witnessing the last 2-3 weeks, Been waiting for them to stock more spicy beef but the only palatable flavour they have is beef and sauerkraut or stewed pork in that size. It has a small corner of one shelf dedicated to Indian foods, which I was surprised with to be honest, they had some of the microwave snacks I was familiar with. If you want those little Asian jellies they have..well TONS go there to get them, they are cheaper than the nearby Woolies and have a massive selection, Same with sweets, Yan yan's, Panda's and pocky if you are interested in that sort of thing.
