The city's latest food destination is a labyrinth of choices. Make sure though, that you go armed with lots of time, money and a notepad (to jot recipes), before entering its hallowed confines

If you are a need-based shopper, then you might believe that you haveu00a0 struck gold at this supermarket. Stocked with everything edible in virtually every brand, it's impossible to decide what to pick up, and when to stop. The day we strolled in, we spotted interesting buys, including celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's seasonings stacked beside less famous spices.

Turn that corner and you are will find yourself at the Rice, Pulses and Lentils 'touch-and-feel' section where you are invited to examine the in-house brand, Golden Harvest. The brand's Nachini (millet flour) costs Rs 24 per kg, and Chana Dal costs Rs 70 per kg. If that doesn't suit your budget, you needn't worry, because whatever brand you favour, they probably stock that toou00a0-- the range is exhaustive.

Each section includes a write-up on what's for sale. It's a good idea to carry a notepad along as recipes are interspersed with these signs.u00a0The Fruits and Vegetables section held a few surprises too (we found the rarely seen banana flower at Rs 30 per kg here). There is also a ready-to-go counter with packed salads, sandwiches and meals, a daily takeaway menu and an in-house bakery. AT Palladium mall, 4th level, High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel.
