Should you want to make a truly authentic meal, your dishes will live or die on the quality of the ingredients, and sometimes a trip to the local big supermarket might not always provide you with everything needed to inch your creation towards cooking wizardry.
Tian Tian Market, the London-based group of Asian supermarkets can help solves this issue if you’re hoping to nab some fresh produce, or just get your hands on one of their 10,000 different products on sale, from Bibigo gyoza dumplings to drizzling mango pancakes.
The Asian supermarket, which is also renowned for its East Asian decor, has just opened its first west London location today (June 7), with the new branch in Ealing’s soft launch marking its eighth store in London.
A full launch will take place at Dickens Yard on June 24, with 5,500 of Tian Tian Market’s iconic items set to be available at the store. For this opening, the new 6,670 square feet space will hold celebrations including free live Japanese food and milk tea demonstrations, rambunctious Taiko drum demonstrations, and a photo booth to get a snap at your day out.
Meaning ‘paradise’ and ‘day-to-day’ in Mandarin, Tian Tian provides a range of culinary that showases both of these phrases, with specialised sections on hotpot, world noodles and dim sum.
Speaking on the opening of the new supermarket, Emma Tai, General Manager of Tian Tian said: “Our store in Ealing goes beyond being just a grocery store, it is a curated destination that brings together the best of Asian flavours and culture. Through our participation in local events and initiatives during the grand opening, we aim to foster connections and create a welcoming environment for all.
“Tian Tian Market invites customers to embark on a culinary journey, exploring the rich tapestry of Asian flavours, being a place to discover, connect, and celebrate the vibrant world of Asian cuisine.”
Since the first store opened in 2016, Tian Tian has enjoyed ever-growing success, and visitors to the Ealing location can expect plenty of further events to take place once Tian Tian has held its full opening on June 24.
Tian Tian Market in Ealing arrives at 10-13 Dickens Yard, Longfield Avenue, W5 2TD (nearest station is Ealing Broadway) for its soft launch on June 7, with a full opening to come on June 24. Read more about the Asian Supermarket chain here.
