Now THIS is an IGA worth Yelping about. It's quite large for starters, almost like your Woolworths and Coles size... in fact it is that big. All pretty, across a whole shopping centre's width and meaning some serious business in the produce aisles and not to mention meat and poultry too.
Now what a lot of people know about the IGA, is that it is a supermarket. This one is a 'supa' market and it stocks all the regular stuff. But what they don't know is that what this IGA does that differentiates it from its competition are the deli platters.
I love these platters, there's the 'Cheese Nibbles Platter' perfect for parties, the 'Cold Meat Salad Platter' and my personal favourite platters the 'Dip 'N' Nibble' and the 'Antipasto Platter' which have saved my Yelping ass many a time for functions I've organised and food bailing out last minute. They are prepared and the people at the functions don't even know they were IGA ones... very nice. Very nice indeed! At a fraction of the price you would pay some upmarket gourmet store to do... i'm a big fan.
Note: You do have to ring them up and order your particular platter beforehand, just so you don't have to wait ages if they are busy, and you don't get 'the look' if you turn up letting them know 'it's an emergency okay'. No sympathy at all. Well, there is a little from the staff who feel like being friendly, but really... come on. You can't expect Doreen to prepare a platter which will feed up to 14 people in 5 seconds. Can you? read more
