Austin MT Supermarket
Posted March 24, 2008 by Realty.com Editor
Austin MT Supermarket, located in the new Chinatown, it rivals the size of the Asian supermarkets in Houston, Welcome Center and Hong Kong Supermarket. It may in fact be a little bigger. It’s certainly cleaner—as it’s brand new—and has yet to accumulate that unpleasant Asian supermarket odor.
Some interesting things that they carry: Live crab, tilapia, catfish swimming in tanks. Lychees. $2.99/lb vs $3.99 at Central Market. Jackfruit, durian, dragonfruit (several dollars cheaper than HEB). Large selection of soy and wheat gluten vegetarian imitation meats. I’m not vegetarian but these are tasty—you’ll never go back to tofurkey again—and extremely healthy, low fat, low carbs, high protein. Beef tongue. Pork liver, kidney and spleen. Duck gizzard, duck feet, even deboned duck feet. Whole eel chunks. A large selection of dishware. Ice cream in flavors such as green tea, red bean, green bean and jackfruit.
A good time to go is in the morning when you can have the first and freshest picks of the day.
