Chionggirl in Shanghai

As the weather makes a dip south, I decided it is time that I buy my 3rd appliance in Shanghai, the heater.

My original plan is to hop on a bus that brings me to the only mega supermarket I know, Carrefour. I had always wanted to check out Tesco, but the Chinese website doesn't seemed to provide me with alot of guidelines.

Anyways, so I hopped on to the same Carrefour-bus and was all prepared to alight at the Carrefour stop when I saw the big Tesco sign as the bus passed the stop. This is it, an opportunity for me to explore Tesco! So I alighted like everyone else and head on to Carrefour.

We know that there isn't any Tesco in Singapore, so i am curious what has this supermarket brand got to offer. It is essentially similar to Carrefour, however, this one that I go is defintely going to be my default supermarket in Shanghai. Below is the evaluation between the both:

Transportation -
Carrefour 1 - Only one bus takes me to the one that I go to regularly.
Tesco 3 - There are 3 bus lines that takes me to and from Tesco

Variety -
Carrefour 1 - It has quite a number of offers
Tesco - 2 I dunno if it was my first time to the supermarket, but I feel that they have more to offer compared to Carrefour

Durians -
Carrefour - 0 Didn't really see them
Tesco - 1 Saw large ones on display, and they are void of the durian smell! Kinda weird huh... I doubt they are as good as the ones back home anyway

So it is clear that Tesco has my vote and I am so happy that I have found a mega supermarket that is so close to my place! Woohoo! I am looking forward to supermarket shopping!
