T&T Supermarket is pretty much a Chinese Dominion, in
fact, T&T Supermarket is owned by Loblaws, the parent company of
Dominion. I always head there the first
few days I am in Toronto to get lop cheurng, beef jerky, and other non
perishable grocery items, and the day I fly back to NL so I can bring home
freshly baked Chinese pastries and buns.
They have everything you could want in a Chinese grocery store, but has
the standards and cleanliness of a western national grocery chain. I have written to T&T several times
asking them to open a T&T in St. John’s, but they always replied “thank you
for your interest, however we have no plans to open a location in Newfoundland
any time soon”. Sad.
Anyways, I was walking through Dominion the other night and
saw a display of T&T products! I was
very excited, and bought some products, such as the frozen mochi dessert,
Chinese egg pastry (Chinese rice krispies) and pineapple cake squares. There were a few Korean marinades, a few different
cookies and crackers and some Japanese items.
There wasn't a great selection, but for Newfoundland, I was
impressed. I hope that the items sell well
so that Dominion will carry more T&T brand items.
By the way, the Mochi were delicious! I never had frozen mochi before, but
after waiting the 10 mins for the glutinous outside to thaw, I popped it into
my mouth and was amazed, it tasted awesome!
The pineapple squares were really good as well, they are something like
fig newtons on the outside, but the filling is very sweet fruity and
tropical. The Chinese rice krispies were
quite tasty as well. Sweet, but not too
sweet, which is great for people who want a little treat to go with their tea,
but nothing too sweet. They’re also my
mom’s favorite, so I better go pick up some for her visit next week. Happy shopping!
