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.

As a Canadian that can rarely get the items Mikey buys I was so thrilled to see him at one of my favourite stores! TnT also ships for really reasonable prices within Canada 😊

[@zwillyc]

In an expensive city like Vancouver, the T&T deli section is a saviour. There are lots of items you can find for under $10 that will fill you up.

[@Bowling_Dude]

culver's does make everything fresh to order. that's why their greeting is "what can we make fresh for you today?"

[@R.Williams]

I literally have a Culver's across the street from me. I ate there twice many years ago when it first opened and was not impressed. Never went back. Maybe it's time to try the fish sandwich there!

[@Bowling_Dude]

@@R.Williams I personally prefer their buffalo tender basket with onion rings.

[@mistybarquet6141]

😒 they are disgusting, and the workers always have an attitude 😒 eat at your own risk

[@mistybarquet6141]

​@R.Williams thank you 😊 🙏🏾 their nasty 😐

[@______4790]

id take a chinese supermarket over culvers any day

[@chubbybunnygang1205]

I’m from California and lived briefly in Minnesota with a Culver’s and I’d tell everyone about the fish there being amazing and they thought I was crazy for eating the fish at a burger joint, but it was so good!!! Thank you for the validation 🤣

[@lovelight1114]

I’m from Cali and lived briefly in Illinois and loved Culver’s. I heard they stopped serving fried chicken and that was the best!

[@Sydorrah]

I stayed in Vancouver 2 months for work and I was at T&T and Price Mart weekly 😂. I miss those days

[@spottypuck]

I live in Vancouver and probably take T&T for granted. I realized after watching this how lucky I am. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HcutiegirlY]

you'll probably have to visit other chinese supermarkets to see how good T&T is. I live in the states and even i was drooling from just seeing the food items in Mike's video. You'll never find such superior supermarket anywhere

[@AllenMar]

@@HcutiegirlYT&T are coming to the USA! Opening markets in the Seattle, WA area, the 1st to open in Bellevue this summer 2024, a 2nd is scheduled in 2025 in Lynnwood, WA. We have one nearby In the Metrotown Shopping Centre here in Burnaby👍🏻.

[@HcutiegirlY]

@@AllenMar that's awesome!

[@alstonjacobs4934]

I wonder if this is a Richmond location cause I saw stuff that my local one didn't have last time I went 3 weeks ago

[@kimash6118]

I live in southern Ohio and have no cool places like this. You are very lucky

[@StrongFlatWhite]

Why is there a view of Sydney Harbour in this clip?

[@stephanie67456]

brother always eats just a little bit of the wrapper, lovely

[@Meredith111]

Lolz - why do you have a shot of Sydney harbour in your video at 6min 19secs???!!!

[@RaheelPervaiz123]

He was just in Sydney

[@jameychau9802]

He was in Sydney

[@MorpeThemage]

I watched this video from start to finish, really good stuff man. You have got to go back and try more things from here, everything looked delicious.

[@xwarped83]

T&T is amazing, I wish I could visit Vancouver more often.

[@jaiceh7061]

T&T is coming to the US. You should do a video of the US version, after it opens.

[@redman072980]

As a long time Mikey Chen subscriber and a Canuck I'm surprised he just discovered T&T considering he's been to Canada numerous times 😂

[@russmakesstuff]

Holy crap that crepe with the two crunchy things in the middle looks amazing. Gives me that hungry that can’t be satisfied without the thing that caused it.

[@angiebby1122]

I LOVE Culver's fish basket & sandwich, it's amazing for fast food 😋❤️😋❤️😋❤️😋

[@kasie_basie]

i dont know if id call culvers fast food, they make all their food fresh after you order it. usually fast food already has stuff prepared and made before you order

[@darkprincess1918]

That sandwich and market looks amazing 🤤🥰🏵️

[@Kevinsb1981]

But is it umami?

[@JeffMuhlbach]

I tried the fish sandwich at Culver's today and you were right. It's really good

[@ellenspn]

Dude! Pork loin sandwich at Culver’s is the bomb

[@kalphoenix13]

Culvers in Wisconsin is so .much better. I'm sure it's still good where ever, but the closer you get to Sauk City Wisconsin where the original one is, it's just better. Flagship locations.

[@GameSubster]

I was shocked to see T&T lol we take it for granted.

[@whittkatt]

I’m stranded in southern Alabama! I’m from central Florida, and used to love to go to the huge Asian market in Orlando . Definitely don’t miss the smell, but the bakery!!! And fresh seafood. I miss it so much!

[@JoeyVelhagen]

There's a T&T in Bellevue, WA with one more set to open in 2025 in Lynwood, WA. Ranch 99 better watch out.

[@williamhughes3314]

Do more T&T stuff :). We have one here in ottawa. No matter how many times I go I walk by most of these things and would never know how good they are.

[@Hollywoodkillz88]

That was one impressive supermarket wish I had one in NY 😢

[@alcalderonjr4579]

Hi Mike so much good food. I hope you enjoy it.👍

[@DevonaRavenhold]

Have you ever been to 99 ranch market in Plano? There's a section where you can get your Peking duck, hot foods, all kinds of amazing fruits and vegetables and their seafood department is glorious.

[@wendiegregory4770]

I love T&T.. Go as often as I can get into the city

[@dbirlhante2006]

It makes me happy when's he's in Canada love it ❤

[@clocky4209]

I enjoy listening you read what's on the box/bags!

[@spinachpuff9502]

And I thought i was the only person that ever ordered a filet o fish 😂

[@irmaiz133]

Us pescatarian are like the forgotten middle child for the fast-food industry!!!!? :((

[@annaphung58]

WOW they need one of these mega markets in the UK and Portugal....😍😍😍

[@MaskedRiderChris]

We don't have T&T here in TX, but this is making me want to go back to Super H-mart and get some stuff for the freezer and pantry, now...

[@irena-talita]

Delicious food I love this ❤❤❤

[@amberponton6693]

Hey, if you end up in or by Charlotte, the Super G Mart in south Charlotte just opened their international food court

[@kimsmith6666]

T&T is just heaven!!

[@Elurin]

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!

[@ericamayesguerra3796]

What if I take a sot every time he says umami, will I get drunk?😂

[@Hippolyta.]

The bakery section always sells out so early at my local T&T! And I love getting their ready to go food. However, T&T is owned by the Loblaws corporation who make record profit by price gouging Canadians :') so I prefer to shop at the independent Asian grocers 👍

[@MaddoxLe-jm7wr]

This is actually such a good video I’m from Vancouver and love seeing you check out my city’s eats

[@rossxjohnson]

That's Sydney Australia in the timelapse. 🤣

[@RSkies]

Its the Vancouver waterfont market.

[@fredrixslice]

@@RSkies100% Sydney

[@captainpesmo]

@@RSkies At around 6:16? Definitely Sydney Harbour, complete with Blues Point Tower.

[@RSkies]

​@@captainpesmomy mistake then! Thought it looked like the Van market. Also not surprised Mike would make an error like that sadly

[@RSkies]

​@@fredrixslicemy error, thought it looked like the Vancouver market by the waterfront 😅

[@Robert-uq5ew]

I had culvers yesterday. I guess I have to try the fish.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Welcome to Canada Mikey! T&T is our Country's largest ethnic grocery store which is owned by our largest Grocery Retail conglomerate Loblaw. We are fortunate in Canada and especially Toronto to have many large Chinese groceries as good or even better than T&T. Mikey, next time you come to Toronto I'll take you around for a tour 😀

[@alexandermulder651]

Would highly recommend visiting Le Tub in Hollywood, FL for a delicious burger. If not for the channel, then just for yourself

[@namelessseeker]

Thank you Mike for making these great videos always. Been many years of tradition of watching your videos while i/we eat, couldn't ask for a better accompaniment.

[@hyang9195]

You have to get the Culver's walleye sandwich when it's out.

[@PONTIANGOD]

Drosato Central Macedonia Checking In, It Was Excellent Seeing You And Talking With You.

[@chrisbahl8854]

Culver’s legit makes fresh to order. Midwest baby!

[@Dragonstar13]

It's surprising to hear of something being way cheaper than American markets. But yeah I love the Asian supermarkets here. TnT, Foody world, Supermarket 2000, Pricesmart, H-Mart, and the local farm markets.

[@Nini3666]

Have a T&T near my workplace will have to drop in one day.

[@user-pq3lw8pe6z]

Yum!! Ooorah!!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this! Love your content as always ❤❤❤❤

[@gracielapalacios8029]

Wow Mike i really love to Watch you eat your honest review👍

[@JAF30]

Aww, I wanted him to try the Pub burger from Culvers.. I had one the other night and it was pretty good, not the best but enough I wanted another one.

[@jadehom8067]

Great video 👍...I would go broke going through there 😂😂😂...never seen any chinese markets here that sold all those different selections of food before 👍...til we eat again...stay safe and be well 😊❤

[@josephdiao8149]

It’s hilarious how i thought when you were filming Culver’s that there was not gonna be any Chinese supermarket in North America greater than T&Ts i have here in Toronto

[@wiboxermom7829]

Culver's ROCKS!!

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

I don’t really care for Culver’s burgers, so I’ll definitely try the fish sandwich next time.

[@MarcieFoster]

T&t is pretty awesome lol they're all over Canada

[@billlychadwell5639]

Popeyes has the best fish sandwich for fast food

[@irmaiz133]

Thanks for letting me know. I have had them. Are they better than Culver’s?

[@VinhNguyenQuang258]

You're always my go to person to watch while eating something ❤

[@marcellus9265]

Lovely as usual ❤

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

Hey Mikey, if ever you come back to Toronto, there are a lot of ethnic supermarkets aside from Chinese that'll give you a very similar experience from the Mediterranean to Philippines...and yes, tons of Chinese supermarkets. I regular Bestco being it's the closest for me. Sometimes FoodyWorld. But the newly opened Asia Foodmart is slowly winning me over.

[@bryanlonger8646]

I was hoping to see the duck mike

[@SweetCupcake788]

Mike you have been to so many countries in the world and trying out different cuisine and I have realized you have never showed us mainland china:) Are you planning any time soon to go to China and show us different cusines from different regions ?^^ I would love to get a China series!

[@danleeca]

Probably wants to be careful in China ... Not a safe place to visit as a non Chinese citizen.

[@zekefister8294]

Isn't he persona non grata in mainland China?!

[@toolbaggers]

He would get sent to a re-education camp due to his religion.

[@Mwoods2272]

Probably can't get his Visa approved.

[@evoltnvii]

During lent culvers has walleye for the fish it's 3x better than the cod and the cod is really good.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Mikey with the food vlog drop a like for you

[@angelagasparithompson3995]

You make me want to eat more!!

[@tesstinger7475]

I wish we had that in Britain.

[@nedenedeegee]

Ayeeeee I’m glad you like T&T! I go to that one often it’s the best! And yes those dumplings are my go to

[@kathrynpeliska7753]

Hey, love your videos. Just wondering if you've thought of checking out the semi new asia mall in eden Prarie Minnesota. Just wondering how they stack up to someone with a more refined palate than mine.

[@brittanycunningham5623]

I am never this early! 😂❤ Perfect to watch while eating lunch. This makes me want to cook all the food!

[@IzonMe1]

Mike you forgot to link your recipe for the noodles in the description! I hope you see this and edit it in. Thanks!!

[@Emerald-ym9rh]

So excited we are getting a T&T in Bellevue, WA sometime this year!!!! First one in the U.S.

[@CarlGorn]

I honestly thought you were going to be in northern St. Paul, Minnesota. Tremendous Asian supermarkets there.

[@Karin5461]

T&T Supermarket is my go to still even though they are of Loblaws now

[@RSkies]

IA, Galen Weston (the owner of Loblaw) sucks.

[@tinazatse7008]

Oh why, oh why... can't there be a T&T in Albany, NY. On a side note.... I'm with you.... filet o fish must be hot and freshly made! Otherwise it's only good as a paperweight.

[@masteryung8203]

Super attractive, lol cheese burger?

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I love filet of fish when it’s fresh and crispy too

[@redcherryvodka9394]

Video starts at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a>

[@stana2z]

Mike, How do you prevent the soup dumplings from sticking to the paper when you steam them? I always follow the directions, got the steamer and papers from recommended Chinese grocery, yet about 3 out of 6 stick and tear when removing from the basket. Happens when at restaurants too…

[@parkedawn]

I'm envious of the Chinese grocery store! The selection has me drooling.

[@ashleemae9681]

Ironically when you were eating the mango, I was eating a fruit cop from Cir K here in the states and it was bad just like how you described your mango. 😢

[@nelsonhu3926]

Should have boiled the dumplings in chicken stock

[@prushaglli9026]

what i have found out that ilove latiao the spicy snacks i need those. but in norway we dont have it so sad.

[@martykitson3442]

except for the gyoza it all outside my experience but i hope to try it all some day

[@toolbaggers]

Gyoza is Japanese. He had Chinese dumplings. So everything was outside your experience.

[@cee_el]

Okay now this supermarket looks freaking amazing

[@Gon_1987]

Attendance check ✅

[@TheSpiritBeaver]

T&T Market is my favorite reason to go to Vancouver whenever I'm in town.

[@tokiyasblossom]

I wish my city had this tbh

[@yelling3874]

Huh. Never knew they had Culver's in Florida. It kind of feels wrong lol

[@anjakloch6330]

What happened to the duck??

[@taco1326]

Can you do a asain store review in florida one day

[@RH-gz7or]

Most delicious scenes are when Mikey improvises and makes the best duo combinations like the bao with that spicy oil sauce 🤤. That definitely just needs to be a thing.

[@harveylin3548]

I thought you live in Dallas? How did you find a place in Vancouver? Is it just an Airbnb?

[@matthew6579]

He should go to double double in Richmond for some congee

[@JustinEmlay]

I wish these Florida videos existed a few years ago :(

[@brentlloyd7908]

Have to laugh, as soon as Mike said Vancouver, I thought he must be at T&T

[@ChoadMaster]

Is it just me or is every food bloggers go to word is 'umami' these days? Wait till we see the number one baby names.

[@toolbaggers]

Shut up Chad or is it Tristan?

[@BensTunes74]

Go Mr Jackie.

[@maceysue2002]

Anyone know what is the brand of the frying pan he is using?
