Food Shopping

My husband and I first lived in Hong Kong over twelve years ago. Western groceries were scarce (and only available in Central as far as we knew).

When we returned to Hong Kong earlier this year, we were blown away by how easy it is to buy Western food. Here are some recommendations (special thanks to Sarah for her contribution!)...
  • Frozen meat place behind Steamers
  • Australian butcher in old Hang Hau
  • Taste in Hang Hau for hard to find stuff
  • Fusion in Clearwater Bay for western foods and really nice fresh veg/fruit and meat
  • Classified for posh cheese and wine (good bread, too!)
  • Wellcome Marina Cove - when Sai Kung is just at a standstill (smaller, but does the trick)
  • Wellcome Sai Kung will deliver groceries on the same day if purchased before noon
  • Park and Shop for excellent online and home delivery service
  • Sunday market at Lions Nature Park
  • Italian deli in the old town
  • Mushroom Bakery - next to Anthony's Ranch. Offers nice selection of frozen prepared meals and baked goods.
  • Butcher King - Also next to Anthony's Ranch. Offers good selection of deli meats and often imported foods you can't find elsewhere (spices, canned goods)
I know there are a lot of *secrets* out there, so if you are reading and willing to offer up to newbies, please add a comment below.
