The Cherry Blossom flavour Lan Fong Yuen milk tea was on sale a few weeks ago at C&C, but I didn't find it until much later at another Chinese grocery store.
Sakura Flavour
The drink was kind of flowery, but it wasn't immediate when you smelled it. The milk tea was smooth and super sweet - it was really sugary (I probably wouldn't get it again unless they make a no-sugar version).

Near the end of the day, the sushi at C&C Supermarket goes on sale. I managed to pick up a black dragon roll for $3.99:
Pretty good for the price since it had lots of eel with a yummy sauce and the roll had fake crab, fried shrimp and a lot of avocado.
Also picked up some fried sesame balls with red bean (which were okay, but they lost their shape and were a little dry), youtiao (which were pretty good despite it being part of their end of day sale), spring rolls (skip that - they weren't very good) and Shanghai noodles with vegetable and meat (not that great since the flavour wasn't very strong).

After watching a ton of historical Chinese dramas, I've really wanted to try their pretty flower cake snacks. Luckily C&C Supermarket was having a sale on their Osmanthus and Taro rice cake snacks for $1.68 per box - so I thought this would be a good opportunity.
Osmanthus flavour and Taro Flavour (and what it actually looks like)
This is definitely a case of buyer beware - the pictures were definitely different from the actual rice powder cakes inside. It was super powdery, not pleasant tasting and had a weird grainy texture. The osmanthus had a flowery perfume flavour and the taro had a weird lingering after taste - definitely skip this (it was terrible).
We also saw this on sale from the famous Lan Fong Yuen Milk tea place in Hong Kong
$1.99 for a cup of their Hong Kong style milk tea
The milk tea was really sweet but very smooth and it worked out to about 2 cups worth when reheated with more water to dilute the sweetness. It has the classic Lan Fong Yuen super silky texture and excellent flavour. There was also the silk milk tea flavour (which was also really smooth and very sweet).

I was wandering around C&C Supermarket when I saw this on sale for $3.99: 
Snack size baumkuchen!
The Marukin baumkuchen cakes were pretty good! They were sweet, buttery and still a bit moist with the baumkuchen layers like circular tree rings.The layers kept their shape as opposed to other pre-packaged baumkuchen which is usually just pound cake. I was pretty happy with this snack from Japan at the supermarket!
