Almquist breaks ground on site of SoCal's first T&T Supermarket
Local development company Almquist broke ground on its latest project, The Canopy at Great Park in Irvine on April 24, where the first SoCal T&T Supermarket will open. 'The Great Park community has long awaited a retail and dining hub that not only serves their needs but also enhances their everyday lifestyle,' chief executive officer of Almquist, Dan Almquist said at the ground-breaking ceremony. Almquist is responsible for other Orange County retail destinations such as River Street Marketplace in San Juan Capistrano and Rodeo 39 Public Market in Stanton. The new project is designed to serve the expanding Great Park Neighborhoods. The Canopy at Great Park will be a 12-acre experiential retail and dining destination, roughly 90,000-square-feet in size with chef-driven restaurants and lifestyle brands anchored by the specialty grocer. T&T Supermarket is Canada's largest Asian grocery chain. Chief executive Tina Lee spoke at the ceremony that included a live music performance and refreshments. 'We are a really unique Asian food destination,' said Lee. 'We are not a cookie-cutter grocery store. Dan Almquist came up to Canada and saw what we did and in his view there is nothing like it in California. He wanted to be part of bringing us to Orange County.' T&T Supermarket has more than 33 stores in Canada and opened its first U.S. location in Bellevue, Wash. in 2024. The popular grocery store was started by Lee's mother, Cindy Lee, nearly 30 years ago, with the ambition of becoming the Asian answer to chain grocery stores like Safeway, Lee recounted to the crowd. The Orange County store is projected to be a 34,000-square-foot space. 'Our sizes in Canada range and this will be on the smaller scale, but we were able to bring a real creative element to the store,' said Lee. 'Today you are looking at a piece of dirt, but we are going from the ground up.' Besides stocking produce, dried goods and canned goods from all over Asia, T&T is also known for its prepared foods. The in-house bakery offers fresh dim sum and more than 100 varieties of Asian baked goods, including viral sensations like Napoleon Portuguese egg tarts. Shoppers can also look forward to freshly made jian bing (savory Chinese crepes) and Taiwanese-style rice rolls. T&T also has a line private label products, like Xiao Long Bao, or pork soup dumplings, Korean kalbi marinade and seaweed snacks. Like any good grocery store, whole cooked chicken is popular item but T&T puts their on spin on the poultry staple. 'We have really a great team of in-house chefs and we are always innovating,' said Lee. 'We have a new product called the Crispy Papa chicken, which is a whole butterflied deep-friend chicken and we recently came out with two other flavors.' The chicken will be available in the original Crispy Papa Chicken variety and the new Roasted Garlic Papa Chicken and Roasted Spicy Mala Papa Chicken flavors. T&T Supermarket is set to open at The Canopy in late 2026.

Clear & upfront pricing at cai fan stalls – CASE rolls out colour-coded labels
I think it would be safe to say that almost every Singaporean has visited a cai fan (economy rice) stall at some point in their life. Those same Singaporeans have also possibly ended up paying much more than expected after choosing their dishes. 'S$10?! But I only ordered 3 dishes!' Well, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) aims to rectify that by introducing colour-coded labels, starting with cai fan stalls run by Koufu. This new pricing scheme is planned to be rolled out to all 77 of Koufu's foodcourts and coffee shops by the end of 2025 as part of CASEs 'Price Transparency for Economical Rice' project. For Koufu's stalls, blue labels are for seafood (S$2.50 per serving), orange for meat (S$1.50 per serving) and green for vegetables (S$1 per serving). There are also white labels for 'premium items' and the prices for those would be handwritten. The new initiative was rolled out on 24 Mar 2025 at Hong Le Mixed Veg Rice Stall at the Koufu food court located in Plantation Plaza in Tengah. Hong Le's other outlets will also have this system in place by mid-April. CASE president Melvin Yong said that it was fairly common to hear consumers complaining about the final price of their cai fan after choosing the items they wanted. 'The dispute often centres on the ambiguity of the prices of the dishes on display. Having colour-coded labels will allow consumers to make informed choices and prevent any potential disputes over prices,' he said. He also said that it was important for consumers to know the prices of what they were buying. In addition, he also hopes that other cai fan operators would work together with CASE to roll out this initiative at their stalls. Operators who are interested in implementing this labelling system can contact CASE to find out more.
