Shwapno Deli Section, Sitakunda

Hello friends, I hope you are all well. For the third week of the Steemit Challenge contest, I will be sharing my experience and a review of my visit to the shawpno deli. I would like to thank the organizers of this challenge, and without further delay, I am starting my participation.

Shwapno Deli Section, Sitakunda

In our country, there aren't many shops dedicated solely to independent deli items; however, there are several super shops and grocery stores where a section is dedicated to deli or ready-to-eat items. For this contest, I am sharing my experience regarding the deli section of our nearby Shwapno super shop.

This Shwapno outlet is located on the ground floor of the Secure City Shopping Center, adjacent to College Road in the Sitakunda Upazila area. It remains open every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM to provide their services. One can also shop via their online service by paying a delivery charge.

Since I am focusing my review on the deli section, I will discuss this specific area of Shwapno. There is no lack of quality in the shop's interior; it features ample lighting and products arranged in rows upon rows of shelves across various sections, much like other super shops.

In this specific section, Shwapno stocks frozen items, dairy products, cheese, frozen chicken items, and many other types of ready-to-eat products. Most of the items are kept on shelves, while the frozen items are preserved in large fridges and deep refrigerators.

You can find various brands of ready-to-drink milk here. Cream milk, plain milk, and yogurt, along with various other dairy products, are preserved inside the fridge. For those who prefer flavored ready-to-eat milk, there are chocolate and vanilla flavored packets available.

Some of these daily products are kept on shelves, while others are in the fridge. Items that require preservation are kept inside the refrigerators. Additionally, various fruit juices, energy drinks, and powdered milk from different local and foreign companies are available in packets.

Since deli items are processed, they are stored carefully to remain safe. There are several large deep refrigerators in Shwapno’s deli section where these special deli items are kept. High-quality cheese is also available here.

Customers can find frozen items such as parathas, samosas, chicken rolls, chicken nuggets, and various other frozen and deli items. As far as I know, these packets have a specific date mentioned; since they are processed and ready-made, they carry an expiry date. Below, I am mentioning the prices of some items.

Thumbnail	Price BDT	Price STEEM
Cheese	220 Bdt	31.1 STEEM
Chicken Ball	180 Bdt	25.4 STEEM
Parata	200 Bdt	28.3 STEEM
Chicken Samusa	250 Bdt	35.38 STEEM
Cream Dairy	120 Bdt	16.9 STEEM

All these deli items are available in the deli section of Shwapno super shop. Being a reputed super shop, there is no reason to worry about quality. By providing good service in the market for a long time, they have built a sense of trust among customers. Therefore, they are number one for deli as well as any grocery items.

✓ If you had to choose only one product from this deli, which would be your favorite and why?

If I had to choose just one deli product, my favorite would be cheese. Actually, cheese can be used for many purposes. While it can be eaten directly, it is mostly seen being consumed with other foods. We especially see cheese being used in pizza, which enhances the taste of the pizza significantly.

It is eaten by adding it to pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and various other dishes. Since it is made from milk, adding it to other foods increases their flavor. In many countries, people are also seen cooking with cheese. I like it because, besides enhancing the taste, it also improves the texture.

✓ From your perspective, do you consider the consumption of cold cuts healthy or should they be avoided?

In my opinion, eating a moderate amount of cold cuts from good brands is healthy, but if eaten as a regular food, it can be harmful to health. Firstly, these cold-cut foods are processed, and to ensure they stay good for a long time, there is a possibility of preservatives being added. Therefore, I believe excessive consumption of cold cuts can be unhealthy, though it is fine if consumed in moderation.
