THE BLACK AND WHITE: When I say Vietnamese-style, it's only because most of the internal signage is in vietnamese. It has every asian countries ingredients from China/Korea/Vietnam to The Philippines and indonesia. You can find some really good pricing here on those staples. Fresh produce aisle is a bit limiting. Pretty big seafood area and meat. Walking to your far left side are all the kitchen toolware if you want to level up your kitchen game. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Always enjoy my time here at MT supermarket. Lots of ingredients you won't find at a 99 Ranch or H Mart.

My favorite market. Full of fresh fish, veggies, and meats; seemingly unlimited spices, sauces,…read moredried peppers, dried mushrooms, soup bases (fresh and dried); prepared goodies, teas, milk tea mixes; a ridiculous number of fresh and dried noodle options both seasoned and unseasoned; frozen kimbap, dumplings, bao, everything you didn't even know you wanted, you'll find. They even have alcohol, dishes, candles, other houseware supplies, and some basic American products. Prices area generally competitive, some much better than others. My main complaint is that it can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to find one specific thing. The other issue is that so many items have mislabeled prices or none at all. This can be challenging when you're trying to stay in budget while faced with more options that you can imagine. Also, fresh prepared items don't necessarily have their ingredients listed which can be scary for less adventurous eaters. The store is generally easy to navigate even through some cluttered set ups.

My wife and I have just discovered BEM - Borderless European Market - in North Austin. If you're a…read morefoodie, it's a gem! Don't miss it. It's the only place in Austin for Eastern European groceries. Coming out of a nearby restaurant, we saw the BEM sign and decided to check it out. We found a wide range of fascinating products, coming from countries such as Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. It's like a small convenience store, but much more interesting. After handling many products out of curiosity, we took a grocery cart and selected several items. I'm posting three photos, which don't do justice to the many types of products they have such as a huge variety of sausages, canned goods, candies, soft drinks, beer, wine, and breads. You'll notice that I like dark beer and chocolate, sometimes at the same time! It would be well worth your going to the store at 2121 W. Parmer Lane. It's pure fun!

It's a grocery store. But better yet, they have a food counter inside…read more Sweets! So many! You pay by weight. I don't know what ingredients are in each sweet, so I often ask. They are friendly and helpful and also suggest and recommend options. And dosas! I really like their dosas. And better yet, they sell dosa batter, if you don't want to, or know how to, ferment your own. I tried making dosas in a pan. Wasn't too successful making dosas within such a small cooking vessel, so I ended up making dosa pancakes instead. The dosas are served on a leaf positioned in a plastic tray. Grocery store itself is well-laid out. Themed aisles, white floors, very clean. Parking is aplenty.

Small discoveries completely and totally made your day such as watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly or noticing a flower one day in the stage of a bulb and then the next as a full-blown flower.. Today I got to relive the wonderment of being a child at the Big bizarre farmers market. First, let's talk about the grains and seeds. I don't know how many times you've eaten dal or cumin or coriander and really didn't know what the original form of that seed. At the big bizarre farmers market i got an opportunity to see the original form of floods i have v eaten all my life. I was so captivated by seeing foods in their raw form. I cruised every aisle, carefully weaving back and forth, back-and-forth down every aisle until I got to the back of the store,.I noticed fruits and vegetables and some unusual ones like aloe vera and pearl onions. I have actually heard of pearl onions, but I don't know that I've ever seen a pearl onion in real life. So that's pretty cool. Ne, net, visiting the big bizarre farmers market was like going on a tour of a very unique grocery store. Totally loved it.... My cashier was very pleasant and she rang me up very quickly and packed my items into a bag and I was off. The staff was very friendly and one of the things that I have to point out is that the store was super clean, which I enjoyed. Prices were extremely affordable. I purchased turmeric, wheat vermicelli and peach green tea.

Good place to stop in and round out your grocery shopping (or make it a primary visit). Everything…read moreis well laid out, they have made some changes in where things are located since our last visit, but well organized and fun to look around. Produce and meat sections are clean well stocked, and spices are worth a stop alone due to variety available. Several items not seen in other stores, and an extensive array of pickled items, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and snacks. Service is always friendly. Plenty of parking out front, wide aisles inside if mobility is an issue. Well worth stopping in!

Mostly packaged foods, a little produce a little meat. Premade foods in the freezer, and box and canned foods on the shelves. Some candy, cookies, crackers and juices. I did get a box of Turkish delights. I was feeling snacky. They have a nice coconut flavor, they're soft and chewy, almost like a gummy. I opened them in the car and had 2 right away. They do have a private parking lot, and it's very large.

They have a counter in the back; I'm not sure if it was specific for that day, but all the options were vegetarian only. That said, the prices are pretty reasonable and they can make some things to order too eg Biryani. The grocery store is sizable too, they have a whole produce section and several isles. Big parking lot out front too, since it's inside an outdoor shopping center.
