Food Markets, Hong Kong

The street has nothing too special apart of the products it sells.
It is specialised in selling ginseng and bird's nest which in Chinese medicine have the properties to grant a long life, to energise and keep you young-looking!

Not bad....

What to pay: Price depends on the shops but I found it very difficult to communicate with the shopkeepers. Did not buy anything in the end.

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!!

What to buy: Water, snacks, drinks and fruit!!!

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

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!

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.
