I'm not a big fan of buying meat from the supermarket. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it, and…read moreI know that the meat staff in there are qualified butchers. Still, there's nothing like going into an actual butcher shop and seeing the selection of meats in the glass cabinet. Mawson's Gourmet Meats is a block away from the main shops, so it might not be a location that people are familiar with. Most people don't venture that far out when shopping and stick to Woolworths and the other shops nearby. Forget Woolworths when it comes to meat though. If you want a good selection of chicken, beef, lamb, or pork and you want specialty items then stop by here. I recommend the stir fry meats. Buy a kilo, serve it with rice every meal and you have dinner for the best part of a week.

Why did the Chicken cross the road?…read more Yeah, that was a pretty obvious way to open, I admit. You try thinking of a better one at short notice... For Kim's Gourmet Poultry the clue is in the name. They sell gourmet chicken. Pretty simple really. There's a large variety of chicken varieties, from cordon bleu to kiev, skewers to schitzels. You name it, it's here. They rotate their stock fairly regularly, and while their kievs are amazing, things like Italian rolls and skewers just seem to really fall short of the mark. What's the problem though? Is it the sauces? Is is the spices? It's hard to say, but there's just something very plain about them. Anyway, there are plenty of other options available. My suggestion is to stick to the kievs and cordons. Maybe give some of the other things a try, my partner seems to like them, but she admits that her tastes are pretty plain.

This place just opened up in Mawson Lakes in the past week or two. With that being said, it hasn't…read morehad much exposure yet. It's an interesting store to say the least. The front half is an Asian take away, while the back is an Asian supermarket. I have to say I admire the owners for mixing these two ideas. Then again, maybe they just couldn't agree on what they wanted, restaurant or supermarket. The take away food is nice, but it's only available from 11AM onwards. When you think about it, this makes sense as it works out to a bit before lunch time anyway. Like all Asian grocers they offer a slightly different variety of stock to the other places. I'm just happy I now have somewhere local to buy Choco Pies. If you've never had these Korean delicacies before then you must buy them. So that's Queen Phoenix. Go for lunch, then stay and do some shopping.

Fruit and veg shops have been suffering for years to stay in business with the supermarket giants…read morefrequently undercutting them. With that said, it's refreshing to see a recently opened fruit and veg market like George and Ben's. Out the front you have your "seconds", that is fruit and veg that isn't of the highest grade. A lot of fruit and veg stores do this, and there's nothing wrong with 90% of this fruit. I personally buy from the front of the store if I need some cheap fruit to make a smoothie with. As my girlfriend is on a diet I'm required to comply and join her lest I face her wrath. I have no problems doing this and that's probably in my best interests... Anyway, enough about that... Venture inside and you'll see "the good stuff". Fresh fruit and vegetables representing all the colours of the rainbow. Not only do they have some quality merchandise, but they encourage the use of boxes rather than putting the items into a plastic bag. There's nothing wrong with being environmentally friendly!

Sometimes you just don't feel like anything exotic…read more.. Sometimes you just want a roast dinner with roast veggies... If you have a hankering for some of that Sunday night favourite and you're in Hollywood Plaza, then Gourmet Roasties will serve you well. With various roast meats and vegetables, you could be forgiven for not realising that you're eating healthy!!! Sorry to break it to you, but you sort of are. As well as roast meat and veg, gourmet potatoes are available at a really decent price. I like a good spud and you can either opt for one of the toppings on the menu or customise your potato just the way you like it. If you don't feel like being healthy they do also offer potato wedges and deep friend goods like dim sims. As for me, I'm watching my waist line!
