The Lea Hill Food Market is Open!
The doors are finally open for business. Staff at the IP Office have already been speaking to the Food Market managers asking them to make more Asian foods available for you. The new market is very eager to serve you, so let them know what you’d like to have available on the shelves! There is a suggestion box at the Customer Services counter. If you let them know what kind of veggies you need and what spices and types of meat you prefer (ie: can you slice this kind of steak “paper thin” for Sukiyaki please), they will do their best to make it happen.
