This is deluxe grocery shopping - expect a fantastic choice for fresh produce, meats and fish choices, bakery, cheeses, wines, fresh made sushi for take-away- all coming with a hefty price tag. However there is also mouth-watering choices of imported international products, such as biscuits, teas, cookies, granola and much more.
