This is a large new bungalow-style shopping market that has been heavily advertised on local television. Selling both at retail and wholesale prices, the all-embracing labyrinth of the store has just about everything you could need. Extending some 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, the immense business area is divided into four sections devoted to selling electronic equipment, clothing and footwear, daily necessities, and building materials. Prices are generally much lower than in department stores, and with a bit of hard bargaining you can drive them even lower.
This night market has to be seen to be believed. Eager crowds jostle alongside red and white stalls, responding to the calls of vendors or the sight of something delicious or extraordinary to behold. Food comes on skewers, in soup bowls, wrapped in tortillas, or even in half a pineapple, and includes familiar fried and roasted meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and fruit, alongside hearts, brains, stomach and other innards. Try baby sparrows, scorpions, crickets and silkworm grubs. Glutinous and sticky, savory and sweet rice dishes are filling and cheap. Vegetarians can eat corn, broccoli, mushrooms and noodles.
With several outlets throughout the city, Jenny Lou's is a premier supplier of Western-oriented and imported foodstuffs and products. Most foreigners know it as the place to go for reasonably priced alcohol, cereals, bread and more. The stores, reminiscent of mom-and-pop groceries, are generally small and stocked to the brim—this location is no exception. As well as canned and boxed goods there is a dairy and cheese section and fresh fruits and vegetables. Free delivery within 2 kilometers. Additional branches: Ri Tan East Road; Fang Cao Di; Xiang Jiang Garden; Shun Yi County.
