BILLA

We went to the supermarket for the first time when we were in Europe. We had the chance since our lunch were not ready. Furthermore, it's just a walking distance away.

so off we walked to the nearest supermarket, Billa.

BILLA is an European supermarket chain originating in Austria, a market where the brand maintains its largest presence with more than 1000 stores. It is owned by Germany's REWE Group.
The supermarkets' name is derived from a contraction of BILliger LAden, German for 'inexpensive shop'

sausages and meat


all kinds of cheese..

pizzas..


cakes

and all kinds of bread too..

Here I just bought some chocolates.

Twin bananas

Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people.
