Hong Kong's CitySuper


After Singapore’s Cold Storage Grocery, Hong Kong’s CitySuper are my parents’ favorite shopping place. They always pick the Marco Polo Hotels as it is near this grocery where they could buy anything from sliced fruits to meals-in-a-go.

I think it is convenient though a bit expensive. After all, all meals are packaged neatly in elegant (if you could rightly call them) Styrofoam ware. I’m the adventurous type and always prefer visiting the local market and eating at less expensive (street) restaurants.

No doubt that it caters to expatriates as it showcases food, fresh or otherwise from all parts of Asia and the world.
They even have green cauliflower! The picture proves it! My university ecology (would you believe!?!) professor refused to believe me when I told her there was such a thing! No, I did not photo-shop this!

(green cauliflower beside broccoli and the regular white cauliflower)

(These eggplants are cute!)

(One of these days, I’m going to buy some of these mushrooms to take home! All the way to Manila!)
