Hooray for dumplings, noodles and bubble tea! 🌞QUESTION OF THE DAY 🌞 What are your favourite aisle(s) at an Asian supermarket?! If you enjoyed this, I'd LOVE for you to give the video a thumbs up to help support the channel! Follow me on Instagram (@dejashuu) for daily posts! LOVE YOU. 💛

[@Nubianette]

Before I eliminated grains from my diet, the frozen dumpling section was my favorite. Now, it’s the vegetable section. I love pea sprouts!

[@gloriagwenyeechow6447]

In no particular order: the snack section, the seafood section; noodles; pots n pans; bakery; produce; frozen; meats. 🙄

[@dejashu]

To be fair, the vegetable aisle in an Asian supermarkets always such a delight seeing all the seasonal produce! 🤤

[@dejashu]

Nailed it (and love that you stressed it wasn’t in order 😂) - they had a little section for bowls and spoons but wasn’t extensive, hope that’ll expand in the future!

[@mparthur144]

Are the goods cheaper than See Woo?

[@dimbonuk]

Some of the instant noodles are priced at 4.99 quid which is kind of ridiculous considering that it's supposed to be a cheap option

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

Yeah, that's crazy...

[@Zizoosworld]

Clearly another rich Asian side probably living abroad has invested in this. Prefer using smaller business

[@consciouscassandra9944]

Love watching you live your best life!

[@jlily8909]

That is a STUNNING supermarket!!!

[@MlleCoquelicotte]

As a foodie girl myself, I loooove to see what produce other supermarkets have around the world, so thank you for showing us around! I will check out your channel 😀

I live in East London and had no idea about this place 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍. Thank you!!!!!!

[@gloriagwenyeechow6447]

I absolutely love going to newly opened supermarkets, especially Asian ones. Thanks for showing us Shu! Why can’t the Asian markets where I live be this clean and modern??

[@dejashu]

Yes!!! It felt like such a grand day out - spent so long in there... my camera battery died 😂 Hope you’re able to visit soon!!

[@maryv2666]

OMG going there this weekend!

[@RayRoberts]

I was literally there yesterday! So happy to have such a lovely asian shop near me!!

It’s a great store, eh?! Great that it’s close to you 🤗

[@Solatruth]

Ahhh loved this video! Such a great one. I can’t wait to visit the store. Try out some of the frozen dumplings they have. If you have any recommendations pls let me know 🤩🤩 Loved how you edited this and the colours. So good! Hope you have a good week Shu 🥰

[@dejashu]

Thank you, my love! So many frozen dumplings, so little freezer space haha. I usually go for Freshasia ones, Mei Sum or Royal China for dim sum but want to expand the choice! Hope you’re having a lovely start to your week!! 🥰♥️

Loved this! Just moved back to The UK after 6 years in Japan and can't wait to pick up some faves, thanks for the info!😊✨

Can’t wait to visit when I’m back in London

[@georgejiny]

Wow Shu, the place looks amazing 😃I can see myself walking around and coming out with loads of noodles, dumplings and ice creams.

[@dejashu]

It felt like a day out going through all the different food sections 😂🤤 bring a suitcase with you so you can fill it up with all of those things and moreeeee

[@libbyfong8879]

First time I watched your vlog 👍 , already subscribed, well done! Will visit next time I am in London

[@MrHispanicpride]

Thanks for this. I'm a HUGE fan of Asian food. I go to chinatown in London once a month, but i'm deffo going to check this place out.

[@garishanth]

I just discovered you channel. Subscribed. I need to visit this supermarket! 👌🏽

[@Esther-oz4ts]

Heaven!!!

[@stephen129]

5:51 Dou miao (pea sprouts) are the best Chinese vegetable imo. I could eat a whole plate of it easily. Usually served with a garlic sauce in Cantonese restaurants. So good.

[@PocketTrailblazer]

I’m just loving the lighting- looks so beautiful- or maybe it’s your filming skills! 😉💪

[@dejashu]

Haha full credit goes to the store, I was excitedly vlogging over concentrating on filming b-roll for this one! 😅😅♥️

[@dr.mindfarer1756]

Thank you for the wonderful video. Kang Shi Fu noodles and 吴大娘 dumplings are a must. They appear to be missing.

[@nathalienurse3336]

One word to describe this video YUMMY 😋..............🤗🇨🇦

[@zachary811]

WOW Thank you Shu for this video, can't wait to visit this shop when I return back to London for work! I've always wanted a super modern chinese grocery store in london without the narrow aisles like the stores in china town. Think this might be it!

[@dejashu]

You’re welcome, Zachary! Can stock up when you’re next in town with all your favourite foods! 🥰

[@17zy48]

Ahh I used to go to the 天天 near Canary Wharf, can’t wait to check out this one when I can. Yeah the supermarkets in Chinatown are probably cheaper but those queues aren’t fun haha.

[@miaurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

if I EVER go to England, this’ll be my go to spot.

[@robrosy]

This is a refreshing change from the bog standard smelly, cold and warehouse-like Asian supermarkets everywhere else in the country..

[@dejashu]

I love the older Asian supermarkets too because it’s really nostalgic and they paved the way for the community! Also enjoy this modern style of decor too!

[@miaracle]

I HAVE TO GO THERE!

[@bykchoi]

😱😱😱 amazing!! And the hot food to come??

[@dejashu]

Yes!! So hyped for the hot food then can hopefully sit down in the sake bar too then take home a giant matcha cake or cheesecake 😍⭐️😍😍😍

[@annawong5027]

Wow! I can't wait to visit once lockdown is over. Going to buy some yummy mochi, vegs, dumplings, baos and lots of noodles. Thank you for this vlog. 😊 👍

[@dejashu]

Yay! It’ll be well worth the wait when you visit and there will be even more products in store too! 🥰♥️

[@SparklerMs]

This honestly looks like food paradise to me haha. Will have to visit sometime, I could easily spend a whole day there 😂

[@dejashu]

Hahaha it felt like a theme park or a new holiday destination 😂 good thing it didn’t have two or three floors because, game over. Would never leave!

[@anthonyolsen6625]

That sauce isle though 😍!

[@dejashu]

Endless bottles of soy sauce, hot sauce and marinades 🤤🤤

[@SavhannaSkillern]

I loved your video! What time in the day did you go?

[@sophiecutegirl]

Hooray! What a pandatastic place with such pandalicious tasties on offer. At asian supermarkets I seek out the rice and noodle aisles, the tea aisle then onwards to the ice cream then off to the checkout, only to return moments later after realising I forgot the nori. 🐼🐼😋🤤

[@louisegordon2133]

The white rabbit takes me back to my childhood. We used to get them every time my parents took us to an Asian supermarket here in Australia. I loved the rice paper wrapping on them! That supermarket looks great.

[@dejashu]

Yessssss! Love the rice paper! It’s such a nostalgic sweet, isn’t it? Will have to try the other flavours soon! 🤗

Yaaaay! You’re on it!! 🔥♥️ Yes!!! Definitely worth a visit - especially when there’s huge aisles chockablock with instant noodles 🤤 Love the decor too!

That market looks lovely! I’ve never really been to an Asian market I need to put it on my list. Some many good ones near where I live.

[@dejashu]

Ooh! Let me know when you visit, a great place to stock up on produce! 🥰♥️

[@karenpinson759]

That store was AMAZING! I could see myself dropping an easy $100+ and filling my freezer and cabinets in my apartment. The only oriental grocery store near me is about 45 minutes away and is pretty tiny. I am so jealous.

[@dejashu]

Very, very easy to fill a few bags full of produce and sauces here! Hope you’ll be able to stock up with a few bits on your next visit there! ☺️

Is it bigger than Wing Yip Supermarket in Colindale?

Hey Shu! This place is awesome! It’s huuugggeee! Will be visiting soon to check out the products - cos it’s massive and would love to have a look! Also I looked on the map to check where it was and it says it’s in ‘Piazza Walk’ rather than ‘Plaza Walk’ as you’ve stated in your description! Just a heads up just in case! xx

Every product will have their ingredients and many have English ones too for the items for export (often a sticker). Only very obscure ones won't have an English version (in effect I think they'd be skirting on the law).

With the Brexit effect, Asian foods might turn out to cost less than European foods.

[@sandeepraiphotography2111]

Unfortunately it isn’t. Prices seems to have gone up by quite a bit in fact.

[@sarabeth8050]

Those prices would be considered very expensive if they were in US Dollars but they are in GBPs. Yowza! Is that a result of a weak GBP vs. Asian currencies? A consequence of Brexit?

[@ren06yamapi]

not really I would say. UK prices for goods are generally more expensive than the US (well, as far as what my friends from the US have said since what I would think cheap in UK standard, they think it's expensive US wise). Products from the EU are usually cheap whilst Asian products as well as those from the US are really expensive (prolly due to the tax imposed by UK). Also, if you check UK to East Asian currencies (eg. jpy, yuan, krw), sterling pound has been doing ok the past months.
