New western Supermarket in 78 square on Tonzhi ST and ZiYou St there are two entrance one next to the apple store and the other on Xikang St. It is called Le Kang Boutique Supermarket situated in the basement. It is very spacious and  they have a good variety of western goods. Great selection of refrigerated BEER. We also found they have a great selection of frozen fish cod,sole ,halibut ect.... They opened in January 2014 and the place was very quiet only about 10 people including us.   

The new Indian restaurant is supposedly opening on Monday 10tMarch. It is pretty well next to Burger King and as you enter from the street, you walk up a flight of stairs. The front of the restaurant simply says Indian Curry. Nothing like giving yourself a great name huh?

Anyway. If people get a chance to go from Monday, please let us know what it is like!
