    Bowrington Road Markets was our first markets we stumbled upon near our hotel in the Wan Chai district.

    The Bowrington Markets is a busy market for the locals, and is off the beaten path for most tourist, tucked away down small side streets. The scent of fish is strong in the air, since a good percent of the shops are wet markets. (fish and meat markets). Theres a great atmosphere, and it's a good place to get a feel of what every day life is like in Hong Kong.

    Directions
    Bowrington Market is located in the Wan Chai District, just off Bowrington Road, and Wan Chai Road. The nearest MTR station is Causeway Bay (Island Line). Take Exit A towards Times Square. Exit Times Square and take a left onto Russell Street. Simply follow Russell street for 3 blocks and you will find yourself at the markets.

    Food Markets: Use all your senses in the exciting food markets

    Traditional food market (locally known as street market) is an exciting place to be as you need to use all your senses. You'll see, smell, touch the fresh pork, live chicken, life seafood, fruits and vegetables. There are always places in the market that sells cooked food as well, such as bbq pork and any kind of marinated snack (like chicken feet and squid). You'll hear ppl bargain or the loud voices of the vendors of how fresh and cheap their food are.

    People, especially the old ones, love to shop at the street markets for the freshness that can't be found in the supermarkets.

    Many are found indoor nowadays as the government wants to keep the street clean. But there are still many that are outdoor.

  • There is a shop in the New World Center on Salisbury Road by the New World Reinessance Hotel called Needs. It's basically a supermarket and you can find anything you want there. I actually shopped there a couple of times. It's great if you want snacks or if you're going to be spending an extended period of time there and need to do shopping. Check it out.

    The same as you would at home.

    Turning down Graham Street, I was surprised to find so many merchants selling their fruits & vegetables! I always like turning down one of these small streets. The way the goods are arranged, all the fruits looked so colorful and tempting. I ended up buying a cup of mixed fruits and a mango juice for $20 HKD!

  • There are a number of dry seafood shops in Sheung Wan area. @Though I have seen many foreigners there, it may not be easy for you to "shop" there. Alternatively, you could go to "Wing Wah" for chinese sausages and waxed ducks (http://www.wingwah.com/pp_big/WingWah.asp) while for more options you really need to go Sheung Wan.

    Food Markets: Park n Shop

  • This has got to be my most favorite store in Hong Kong. Call me strange, but I LOVE the grocery store. Being in the States, it is generally not so simple to just walk into any store and be able to buy food that is agreeable to the Chinese palate. This place is great for getting staples and fruit.

    I visited in August and boy was it HOT!!! I drank lots and lots of water. And of course, being economical, I was drawn immediately to my local Park n Shop in Mongkok. They have many many locations throughout Hong Kong...some are large superstores and others are like quick stop shops. There are also ones in between. They are great if you want to grab snacks, water, and fruit. They typically have weekly specials on things that makes them even more economical!!

    Water, snacks, drinks and fruit!!!

    Depends on the items. Check out their website below to get more detailed information.

    Food Markets: Fruits & Accessories Galore

  • Fa Yuen Street is famous for accessories and, also, has many stalls selling clothing accessories and fruits.

    Fa Yuen Street, actually, starts from Dundas Street but the shopping area of Fa Yuen Street starts from Argyle Street and the other end is at end of the road (adjacent to Prince Edward Road)

    Bought some fruits and seems like the prices are not very bargainable.

    Food Markets: Chinese tea

  • Tea drinking may be the sign of a New Age lifestyle, but it has been synonymous with Chinese culture for thousands of years. Chinese people use a wide variety of teas to quench their thirst, to aid digestion, for health benefits and as an ingredient in many dishes. Chinese tea is a great, reasonably priced gift, especially when attractively wrapped in souvenir packaging. Hong Kong has a large variety of teas imported from different Chinese provinces and cities, such as Fujian's Ti-guan-yin tea , Hangzhou's Dragon Well tea and Yunnan's Pu-erh tea . A popular one from Taiwan is Don-ding Oolong tea . Chinese tea is readily available in Chinese department stores, supermarkets and teahouses.

    such as Fujian's Ti-guan-yin tea , Hangzhou's Dragon Well tea and Yunnan's Pu-erh tea . A popular one from Taiwan is Don-ding Oolong tea

    In supermarket, there is Chinese teabag which costs about HKD10 per bag
