Description

Probably the best food market in Chaoyang and even if its not strictly a 'supermarket' it is the place I (and many other expats and locals) prefer to buy our meat, fruit and vegetables.

You can find all the meat cuts you need for western cooking, pork, chicken, beef and lamb. If you like to do a roast with all the trimmings they have cauliflower, pumpkin, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, peas, red, brown and white onions, broccoli, vine ripened tomatoes and even chokos. You can get cherries, strawberries, watermelon, apples, oranges, nice bananas and often some more exotic fruit that you don't often find in supermarkets in China.

Obviously they also have a full range of Chinese cooking supplies, tofu duck eggs, pre prepared fish balls, nuts, spices and all the standard Chinese vegetables as well. All fresh. A good place to buy fish however remember we are not near the coast so must assume everything has been frozen.

The stall operators are friendly and helpful although most don't speak English. Actually often another customer has helped me out.

I've even bought a shopping cart, black masking tape, bowls, plastic ware, extension cords, plugs, batteries and alarm clocks. A very compact one aisle shopping area with a variety of packed stalls of many varieties of food and goodies that is a great place to do your grocery shopping and its cheap... or should I say value for money.

Here's a map with good detail. It's all in Chinese, but the big "1" points to the Sanyuanli market.
