I had not intended to buy anything in particular, but left with a whole bag full of irresistible items, and a fresh made pork taco from the fresh food kiosk at the back of the store.

Popped in today while on a walk in the neighbourhood…read more A lovely small little corner market just on the edge of Chinatown located next to the Chinese Seniors Mansion (seniors home). I was disappointed there was no hot food (though clearly there had been at one point years ago with the signage from "Barbecue" still up. The staff were pleasant and answered all of my questions with ease. I picked up some spicy bamboo shoots to try in a curry tonight and a jar of pickled ginger because sushi never gives me enough for takeout :-) There's a smaller cooler for cold beverages but no hot food or prepared food. The produce section is better than most corner markets but still tiny in comparison to the larger Chinese Markets like Lucky 97. The woman at the till was quite friendly and easily engaged in conversation with my friend and myself. I quite enjoyed my little lunchbreak visit here today and intend to come back soon!

If you are looking for British grocery items, you should stop in here first. The store is small but…read morethe shelves are packed with imported sweets, chips (or, "crisps" as they are known in the U.K.), soda, and other edible items. I enjoy a number of British candy bars and was able to find most of them here. I also tried Irn-Bru for the first time, which is a classic Scottish soft drink (spoiler alert: it is VERY sweet). The variety of crisps is amazing, with many unusual flavours. I bought a bag of Guinness chips but have not tried them yet. Prices are reasonable considering these are imported items, and the location is just off of Whyte Avenue - perfect for a visit will taking a stroll around the area.

We also ordered the chicharrón con yuca and crema fresca. We also got a slice of the tres leches cake for dessert! Seriously guys my mom was SO happy with her birthday meal! Paraiso even went above and beyond and wrote a "feliz cumpleaños" message on the cake box which made it feel extra special. Thank you to the entire team at Paraiso for this special meal and delicious food! The tamales were so yummy and authentic, the bigger ones even had a drumstick of chicken in them which was so awesome! Highly recommend Paraiso's hot food if you're looking for an authentic Latin American meal. Will definitely be ordering again!

The Pupusa was amazing with their pickled slaw and the Birria tacos were delicious. Paraiso is a must check out place in Edmonton, we will definitely be back to try more on their menu.

At first glance, Forest Heights Foods is just another neighborhood corner store tucked away for the…read morelocals to grab a quick snack or one or two things between the scheduled trips to the big box grocery stores. However, what really sets this store apart, besides the decent selection of imported grocery food items, is the fact that they have a little bakery tucked in the back where they pump out fresh, delicious and GIANT loafs of Naan bread. I know what you thinking; "Oh, right. Giant Naan. How giant could it be?" Try 3 feet long. Not only that, but you CAN get TWO (2!) of these giant loafs of fresh bread for 3 bucks. You could sandwich a small child between these delicous loafs! It's by far the best deal in the city for Naan, that I have found anyway. They also serve screamers in the summer. 'Nuff said.

I love this store and I'm happy they are very close to us! :)…read moreThe store design is fantastic and I love their uniform. It has a very warm and welcoming vibe. We find products here that are usually hard to find somewhere else. The staff have been very friendly and helpful and when you have a question, they won't leave you till you find what you needed even if you ask them store manager. I love their butchery department and bakery the best. They always have fresh and high quality products that you can smell it from the opposite side of the store. Overall I have been always enjoying my shopping experience there and I highly recommend them! :)

There are washrooms quite near; gender specific, many stalls. If you can find somewhere to sit you "claim your chairs" - bring a coat to leave on the chair! - and then go pay and grab food. No waiters. Once you pay you get a stamp and can go get food. Food options included were sourdough pancake, sourdough pancake with blueberries, sourdough French Toast, scrambled eggs, Fruit Cobbler, Sweet n' sour pork, Potato pancakes, Smashed baby potatoes, bacon, sausage, fresh assorted fruit in fruit bowl (all mixed and diced - watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, few blueberries, melons, apple), and freshly carved ham. Also they make omelettes fresh/on-demand. sourdough pancake with blueberries - made fresh on a griddle right behind the counter, no sour taste which I was happy about. sourdough French Toast -no sour taste which I was happy about, really nice bread used. scrambled eggs - a little rubbery for me Fruit Cobbler - some of it was too soggy for me (I don't like that the bread was soggy where it touched/sat in fruit juice). Sweet n' sour pork - nice light flavor, not too tangy. Potato pancakes - a little bland for me Smashed baby potatoes - really well done, loved the crispy bits. bacon - unlimited bacon! but there is a lady who doles it out but she was happy to give by 3 slices 3 different times. Sausage - BEST breakfast sausage I have ever had. Not fatty or greasy. Super nice flavor. Assorted fruit in fruit bowl - Was easy to pick out the fruit you wanted as long as you don't hold up the line. All cut up already into bite-sized pieces. freshly carved ham - really nice, not too salty, not dry. Omelettes fresh/on-demand - my aunt was really happy with hers. Overall 100% would recommend if you don't mind finding your own table, getting your own food, and doing a little waiting in line (there was aways a small line to move though the food). But no one rushes you to hurry and eat or even say there's a 2 hour limit.
