Apparently T&T has a few branches in Toronto. What I find interesting is that there is enough of an Asian crowd to support this shop in its current location.
As for the food, I am always amazed what people will eat.
Great post!

Thanks Charlatan.
If you remember the time that a few of us took in that display on the Filmport (?) development the new movie studio park that is in midst construction in the portlands, well, that's just a few blocks to the east of here. All the hoarding is in place, and it looks like construction happening, but with the dollar at par and sometimes way above the American buck, I worry that this project will strangle.
There wont be any business case for American producers to move their projects to Toronto based on the exchange rate alone!
so, most of the T&T locations seem to be north of the city boundary (Markham) but this is the first one that is so handy, and it is a lot cleaner than the multitude of Chinese groceries in the various Chinatowns.

yep, actually we get those starfruit at our normal store, so I was going for the hard to get items. But I agree, they are tastey and are a cool garnish.

I didn't buy them that day, but yes, we order chicken feet at yam cha (dimsum) quite often.
As for the popsicles, how about the red bean ones? they are good. I haven't had the honeydew ones tho, I'll look for them.
