THE Best Supermarkets in Hong Kong That Local Shoppers Swear By
If you asked me to list things I genuinely enjoy doing as an adult, it would definitely be a short list. But guess what? Grocery shopping is right at the top of it!
There’s just something so satisfying about making a grocery list and checking off each item as you go. And let’s not forget the fun part – tossing in a few items you didn’t really intend to buy on your cart.
Of course, going to a great grocery makes that even better, because you always end up discovering so many new things to try. If you need store recos to stock up on essentials, I’ve got you. Here’s a list of the best supermarkets and online grocery stores in Hong Kong that I, my buddies, and of course, my mom, actually swear by. Happy shopping!
