Giant closed a lot of its branches already. The most notable one recently is USJ.

long time ago used to be my main place for groceries, and 20 years ago they had even extension shops like furniture, sewing, curtains, etc. Not sure why those retailers kena tutup like 10 yrs back, kalau tak silap.

Was still frequenting them, since good price and much better choice compared to mydin which is their neighbor. And they offered free parking.

But after some time, their vegetable was not fresh at all, not sure why, semua layu layu aje. Even fish and meat was so-so. Hence stop frequenting there. Mydin was just way too crowded to my liking especially during check-out, just waste of time.

My current go to is Aeon Big, cheaper fruits, good pricing for vege and meat. And I like the self-,checkout!

You are right. Giant vege quality is really not as good. Aeon is the best. Coming in second is LOTUSS. Can ignore Bens, Jaya, etc because those are premium price range.

Agree.

Usually, in the west, Convenient store is more pricy than supermarket, but in Malaysia, Therbaliks.

aeon isn't exactly atas place at all
aeon also got divided into 2 kinds of aeon....higher end and lower end

but still, for me...those are not atas supermarket yet
some people just priortize the environment they shopped on
u want real atas supermarket...go kota kinabalu, there is a supermarket there called tong hing, that's a real atas supermarket for only the rich
normal people only go inside window shopping
