    Hey food lovers! In this video, I’m taking you on a 24-hour food adventure at the greatest (in my opinion) Chinese supermarket in North America! T&T Supermarket. This place SHOCKED ME with its selection of authentic eats inside the market & the cheap selection of Chinese grocery items.

      But not all T&Ts are created equal. The one on 104 St in Surrey is the one that I usually go to as it is within walking distance from my house, it's not bad. The one in Surrey Central is better and bigger, and the new one in Langley is better than both. But from what I can see, the one that Mikey went to in Vancouver, blows them all out of the water!
