I have to say that T&T Supermarket sure has stepped up their game when it comes to their selection…read moreof ready made foods and drinks. They have a great selection of sushi and hot foods that you can take away. This location in @centralcitysurrey even has a self serve section where you can put food into takeout containers for yourself. I've found their selection of dessert cakes to be much improved from the past, and now I find that their bubble tea offerings have also improved.  I was so excited to find this Dragon Ball Ice Pop drink. It looked so cool with all the multi coloured boba poppers floating around in it. Our daughter was excited to see it too when it brought it home and showed it to her. There were other cool drinks there too. There was one called Pineapple Sunset and another one called Mango Delight. Both of those drinks had boba poppers in them as well, and it looked like there was more liquid in those cups than in our Dragon Ball Ice Pop drink. This particular cup of Dragon Ball Ice Pop turned out to be more boba poppers than liquid. We sucked up the liquid pretty quickly. No complaints though as we love boba poppers and paired our leftover boba poppers with vanilla ice cream for homemade ice cream sundaes!  I went back about a couple of weeks later and they had all sorts of mango foods on offer, including a very attractive looking Mango sandwich. The size of the mango inside the sandwich was huge. It was basically a whole mango, and looked comparable to the giant mango mochi from Rice Holic in Richmond. I've never had a mango sandwich before and this one was calling out to me so I decided to give it a try. There was some white stuff in it. At first I wondered if it was mayonnaise but after biting into the sandwich I realized it was whipping cream. Loved this sandwich! Honestly, I enjoyed this mango sandwich more than the viral giant mango mochi since the mango in this sandwich was just as big, sweet and juicy as the ones from Rice Holic, plus this sandwich was easier to eat than the giant mango mochi. The mochi was so gooey and stuck all over our fingers, but sandwich bread doesn't do that so it made for a much tidier eating experience. Maybe it was meant to be a limited time seasonal item but I would love to see this mango sandwich as a regular item all year round at T&T Supermarket !

For my first time here, I purchased sultana raisins and halved walnuts to elevate my steel cut oats I make for breakfast.

You'll also find Hispanic (Latin America), African, Middle Eastern, European, and South Asian foods as well. If you are in the market for any of the above hard to find ethnic items stop by this place! Tip: Do not pay for parking on the street in front. There is free parking in the back.

Really appreciate they keep the baked goods, food offerings fresh everyday. Enjoy the free samples in abundance on the weekends of products one would normally not partake. If you are in the area, TNT is a fun place to explore.

Some very good deals here in an age where groceries can cost you a pretty penny these days. Really looking forward to trying the Truffle Hummus! Seems like they made some changes in the layout of this place. There was some kind of a deli counter this time. It had a huge selection of olives to choose from in the display as well as a few other things like pickled turnip, pickled hot pepper and sundried tomatoes. I also saw some eggplant dip, yogurt dips and cold salads like Potato salad and Macaroni salad. To the left of this deli counter I saw another display case that had desserts in it. It seemed to be different varieties of baklava as well as various flavors of Tres leches. In one of their fridges I saw quite a few containers of clotted cream. I was quite excited to see this as a friend of mine had been looking all over for clotted cream recently, but was unable to find it. This location of Persia Foods would be too far for her, but I messaged her right away to tell her about it, and then suggested that she could try the Burnaby location of Persia Foods on Kingsway sometime to see if they might also carry this clotted cream! Rereading the review I wrote last time and am now reminded of the jar of eggplant I bought here previously. It was a really really good eggplant. The "roasted" flavor was very strong and so I think I should try to look for this jar of eggplant again sometime! I like the new additions that I've seen at this location. Might try the deli counter and one of their Tres Leches sometime. Also, really hoping that the Burnaby location carries that same tub of clotted cream. If they do...I think I might be baking some scones sometime in the near future!

What's important to you? Vibe?…read morePrices? Parking? Service? With Vancouver's grocery prices nearing that of Gold, this place makes sense. I'll tell you why..... First of, Free Parking. Yeah...that in this city is a big deal. It's rare. Secondly, their produce is not only good, but you can pretty much find anything and it's very likely that it's the lowest price you can find. I can't remember the last time I bought an Avocado less than $1.99 ea. at any mainstream grocery store in Vancouver. This place had them for .64 cents ea. and they were wonderful. Their meats. Love it. Wide selection of all sorts. Personal favourite? The Mix Ground Lamb/Beef. It's awesome. Add it to your Carbone Marinara Sauce for your Penne night, and you're rockin'. If you're new to the Mediterranean culture I'm sure you'll find a handful of items in the isles that you'll find interesting. The Persian culture is hot blooded, warm, generous, fun, kind and passionate. I'd love to see some of that coming from the cashiers while checking out. Or at least a smile and a hello. Let's start there.

I saw quite a number of bright, yellow reduced stickers on a lot of items. Not sure if that's what stands out for other people but for me on this occasion, that's what was standing out. I picked up a container of Silk brand non dairy Greek Style yogurt. This stuff is usually quite pricy. This one had a yellow reduced sticker on it. "Reduced $4.19" is what I saw on the sticker. My first thought was that it had been reduced by $4.19. Well, I got to the checkout counter and of course discovered that was too good to be true. It was not $4.19 cheaper. It had been reduced to the price of $4.19. Lesson to be learned...those yellow stickers reflect the new price of an item and not the amount it has been reduced by. $4.19 however, was still a good deal for this particular yogurt (imho). So I stuck with it, brought it home, dished it into a container and put some Peach Oolong Oreo cookies in it cuz...really loving that 2 ingredient Japanese cheesecake trend! Aside from lots of bright yellow reduced stickers, I also noticed a small fridge with canned beverages in them that were all $1 each. Whoa, really? Just $1? Can you even get a drink for $1 at the dollar store these days? That actually is a good deal! Like I said...starting to see the appeal to this place!

One of the things that caught my attention the most is the variety of zero sugar options for the carbonated drinks. And even though i don't like cherry, i like how there's unique flavours as well such as cherry float cola! If you like asian buns, there is a selection of asian pasties such as taro bun/custard bun! I can appreciate the variety of salad kits!! I can see myself visiting this location regularly and the hours is good too. The store was properly staffed too despite it being the last hour before closing. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. I love how tidy the displays are. There was a wide variety of egg options and sizes and quantity! If you haven't had the chance to check out this location yet or NO FRILLS in general, highly suggest you make a stop at this one!

Product 'shout out' -- Desi brand, pot barley…read more I had thought I knew and enjoyed the nutty, flavourful taste of barley. Until quite recently though, I had only purchased, cooked, and tasted 'pearl' barley. After reading about the significant nutritional, and flavourful benefits gained from 'pot' barley, I decided it was a barley to try. I was in for a very awakening surprise. Pot barley product purchased at Spice Bazaar -- 'Desi Barley Pot'. Cooking and tasting experiences to date: pot barley definitely takes longer to cook than the pearl product (as expected, it is not as processed), but swells up much more in size from cooking, and flavour gains are almost unbelievable. So far, I have only enjoyed it in soups. Time to look for some other uses and recipes to enjoy its wonderful flavour and texture.
