Golden Square - Walking around Btrust Supermarket

Tips: - BTrust Supermarket is massive and has pretty much…read moreeverything, including hot foods and a bakery. - CoCo and Lucky Tea are your bubble tea joints in this plaza. The latter is inside Red Lotus Restaurant. I was here with my friend late last week looking for bubble tea. There is a lot of parking at Golden Square, both in the back and in front of the BTrust Supermarket, which is a massive supermarket. When I pulled into this plaza, I saw a Chinese arch. It wasn't as amazing as the original one set up in Mississauga, but it was still cool. We cut through BTrust to get to Lucky Tea. I liked what I saw. It has veggie plants. You can basically plant and grow your veggies, melons, and more in your backyard. I was impressed seeing large bottles of Pei Pa Koa at this supermarket. Over two years ago, there was a shortage of this medicinal syrup that has been my go-to medicine when I have a sore throat or a phlegmy, nasty cough, or both. Red Lotus Restaurant houses Lucky Tea. There were a handful of diners enjoying their meals in the restaurant. We got yogurt-based drinks that were delicious from Lucky Tea. The only catch was that half the menu was unavailable. CoCo may be your better bet to have everything available on the menu. I'd like to dine at restaurants in this plaza in future. There's a mix of Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Singaporean, and Malaysian eateries. I like the variety. It was nice checking this plaza out. I hope to return to discovery more of it. (157)

Like Stephanie S states, this is the unofficial Chinatown of Mississauga. The official one (way…read moreback when) used to be on Dundas and Cawartha but it's quite run down and old now though the architecture is quite nice. Back to Golden Square - if this plaza were in Scarborough, Markham or Richmond Hill, it'd be more of 2.5 starts than 3 stars IMO. However, given the lack of the options in Mississauga, this place gets 3 stars as it does the job for one stop Asian shopping because: a) It has plenty of restaurants to choose from including Chinese family style, Chinese fast food, Korean, Singaporean/Malaysian, and Japanese b) There's a large grocery store called BTrust, which has okay prices and some quick hot food plus a bakery. c) There's the Chinese version of Giant Tiger which is called "Best Shop". d) There are some other miscellaneous stores, most of which are owned/operated by Cantonese people. It's not a tourist destination or anything but if you live in Mississauga and need to do one stop grocery shopping and eating, this is not a bad plaza. Tip: It's better to park in the back (Erindale station entrance) than the front (Central Parkway entrance) because it can get quite hectic in the front.

In terms of value, this was the BEST option for me as a replacement gym. Post-Pandemic, my old gym…read moreincreased their prices 3Xs and didn't bother to honour my membership cost as a client of many years, so I had to take my business elsewhere! Looking at the gyms within a 10 - max 15min - drive, there weren't many options for me. The nearby chain gyms were just way too crowded/younger, bro crowd and the other box gyms were CrossFit places which wasn't what I was looking for. So weighing my options, I decided to sign up at my local community centre. Despite being an older centre, this place basically has everything INCLUDING group classes like yoga, Zumba, and a bunch of other things. The centre itself has a pool, skating rink, courts for pickleball, basketball, and a weight room. Outside, there's a skate park, basketball court, beach volleyball court, & various soccer fields. Of course, it's surrounded by various parks, trails, and there's even a private tennis club around the back. So far, so good, people at the front desk seem very nice. Of course the experience of the classes will vary depending on the instructor. And right now, the fitness classes aren't in a stellar studio due to kids Summer camps taking over the entire place! So hopefully that'll change once the kiddos are back to school. Membership prices are MORE than reasonable and they even include the fitness classes which is an absolute bonus! Weight room is small, but every time that I've walked by, it is almost empty. No one filming themselves or annoyingly flexing in the mirror to check if the few pumps of iron has made their arms grow! It's an older crowd, but at this point, I welcome that as opposed to the former gym bro crowd. There is also a discount for Seniors AND if another family member signs up!

Staff here are very kind, facility has many activities for people of all ages. Pool staff are…read moreamazing and are very professional in guarding in teaching.

If you are considering a simple and inexpensive wedding, you could book with the city hall. The…read morevenue has a capacity of around 50 people. Since I had an international marriage, I didn't have any family or relatives here. So, we decided to register at the city hall. The whole process was quite smooth and fast. First, you have to purchase the marriage license. Once you have the marriage license, you can call the hotline and book the chapel. They can offer their officiant (at an extra cost) or you can bring your own. Then, you will have 30 minutes to use the venue. We were satisfied because we just wanted to register first and then have more spare time to organize another local and overseas dinner later. Highly recommended!

I love this space. Always have, always will…read more If you haven't visited Mississauga City Hall, you really need to do so. It's one of the city's crown jewels, and an impressive and grand site for any event or private function. Considering I've been visiting this place fairly frequently for the last decade, I'm still amazed whenever I walk into the central atrium. The building is sprawling and easily befits the city's status as the sixth-largest municipality in the country, situated right in the middle of the city centre and across the street from Central Library. I was here last week for a "fireside chat" being held with Mayor Bonnie Crombie and former Mayor Hazel McCallion. There was an exhibit (which is still going on, as of this writing, until the first week of May 2017) that had a number of different pieces of memorabilia from Hazel's past, including some of her hockey jerseys, signed photographs, newspaper articles and other odds and ends. (Yes, I have several of the bobbleheads that are featured in that exhibit. One of the few items I still own from my time at the Mississauga News.) The event was bittersweet, in a way. While Hazel is still going at an impressive 95 years old, she seemed to be slowing down a bit from what I could tell. Not that it stopped her from firing off a few zingers towards politicians past and present, and giving her input on all kinds of things from the state of the city to the Leafs' chances to win the Stanley Cup. ("They'll definitely get it next year," she said.) It was a very interesting and unique event, and she was awarded with the Key to the City in Council Chambers - a well-deserved honor. City Hall in general is a fantastic place to visit, even if you're not going for an event. They handle all the city services and the parking is dirt-cheap too ($1 per hour in the underground garage.) As I've already made this enough of a puff piece, I'll simply conclude by saying that if you ever visit Mississauga, make this place a priority destination. It really is as beautiful as it looks in photos.
