During the few weeks I spent with my brother, I realized there was this really odd supermarket found all over Los Angeles, California (in the United States) that I had never decided to step into because of its appearance. Finally, I decided to check it out, and I discovered the most organized and unique supermarket I have seen in quite a while.

Trader Joe’s is, indeed, a supermarket. Why would I introduce you to a supermarket? Well, this supermarket has the widest variety of products you could possibly imagine! From American burgers to Chinese potstickers, this is the place to find cultural foods. Surprisingly, the prices are decent for such delicious foods.

Why don’t I introduce you to my favorite foods found at Trader Joe’s?

1. Ready-Made Chicken BBQ Salad
If you feel like you need to run in to grab something, you must grab this Chicken BBQ Salad! It comes with a light BBQ sauce to put on your salad (think of it as dressing), corn and beans for taste! It’s fast, easy, and quite healthy; and a great mix of southwestern and Asian cuisine!

2. Veggie Tofu Burger

The tofu burger is probably the most delicious thing I have encountered for quite a bit of time. Put it in the oven to bake as instructed on the side panel, and serve it like any other burger patty. Surprisingly, it’s quite addictive after you first try it. (I ate it for four days in a row for lunch!) For vegetarians, this is definitely a great option. It has a unique taste that is really likable.

3. Apricot-Chicken Mix
This is another great option for those of you who want to grab something quickly and get back to work. Although it’s a small portion, it is definitely very delicious. This is a great way to boost your protein level!

4. Fish Fillet Sticks
If you feel like eating fish with a topping, this is the one for you. Grab some tartar sauce to put on it, and this will be one of the warmest and most satisfying dishes you will eat in some time!

5. Smart Dogs
Like the Tofu Burgers, these are completely fine for vegetarians to eat, simply because they are not made of meat or animal products! They taste different from normal hot dogs too, and are definitely a great substitution for meat.

These are the top five foods I’ve found at Trader Joe’s. Of course, Trader Joe’s isn’t just a grab-and-go type of place. You can find almost anything there that you’d want to find at a local supermarket such as fruits, vegetables, bread, and milk. It’s simple, and almost everything you find here will be organic. Just like how original the food and products are, their signs are original too. They’re all drawn professionally by hand! If you ever see a Trader Joe’s, make sure to drop in!
