Although Chinese food is delicious, there are some days you can’t help but crave the comfort foods from home. Having a bite of a turkey sandwich, good pizza, pasta or a sip of good beer, can transport one right back home, if only for a second.

 

 

Luckily for us, Shenyang is getting more and more foreign grocery stores. Metro, Olé and Isetan, are three foreign grocery stores, near the city center, that carry a general array of foreign imports such as cereal, coffee, butter, cheese, imported beer, wine and liquor.

Metro has a good general supply of foreign cuisine must-have’s including, but not limited to, the following: a vast supply of imported wines, mostly from France and Italy, imported liquors such as rum, vodka and champagne as well as imported beers, a decent cold cereal supply that consists mostly of Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes, Philadelphia cream cheese, sliced cheddar cheese, pasta and pasta sauces and imported chocolate from Europe. This is a great place to buy in bulk.

 

One important thing about Metro is you need a membership to shop there; this can be obtained by bringing a passport, introductory letter from your employer and proof of your employment, like a contract or business card.

 

Add:  2 Xinggong Jie, Tiexi District, Shenyang

Opening hours: 06:00-22:00

Olé fits in well with the gloss of the mall; and it has the ambiance of a high class boutique. The store is light and airy with trendy light features and smooth jazz piano background music. Olé carries the same basic products as Metro, such as butter, cheese, cold cereal, pasta and wine; however, the product

Great idea. Looking forward to it. A slab of VB cans is on my list - and maybe some Chartruese.
