Beware to those who are carb monsters! Every year that I come back to Hong Kong, I try to make a trip to the Great Food Hall to stock up on Tim Tams. Yes, they do have Australia's favorite cookie along with any other chocolate/sweet treat that you can imagine from around the world. They have sushi, Italian eats and Japanese treats. They have fresh produce and ... did I say they have everything? They have everything. Literally all food treats that you can imagine. I might suggest not coming here when you're hungry otherwise you're going to be filling your cart with calorie intense foods. I mean, I guess there's nothing wrong with that if you're looking to put on some weight!

SOGO Supermarket is the food hall in the basement of SOGO Department Store. Basement food halls are…read moreubiquitous in Japanese department stores and pretty much the only section of the store that I care about. You can find a variety of Japanese food products here, along with some other imported items as well. The dessert/cake section is quite extensive and there are multiple bakeries/desserteries. They have Japanese brands/companies but also a couple local ones as well. I tried their Japanese cheesecake tart place and it was quite good. The tart was fresh and warm. Their cakes are detail-oriented and glamorous like the ones you'd see at a department store in Tokyo. There's produce and meats sold here, but they're pretty pricey, as you can imagine. That week was their Taiwanese fair, so the market had an assortment of Taiwanese street food to eat. It can be super crowded here, so keep that in mind if you're not into crowds. But then, if you can't handle crowds, why are you in Hong Kong?

It will never stop surprising me how you can enter a building in HK and discover a whole new world…read more The city is practically built by stacking upwards so some of the best things are tucked away on upper and lower floors, hidden away from street level. Case in point, it took me 6 months to discover SOGO's basement even though I lived, quite literally, next door. SOGO is a gigantic department store that attracts hordes of shoppers, many with luggage, every hour of every day. I knew all this, I saw the insane mass of limbs and luggage wheels every time I crossed the street. That's why i was deterred from going in until the last month of my stay. What I didn't know was that there was a food paradise tucked underneath all the people and the floors. The SOGO grocery store is similar to other high end grocery stores, but with a Japanese focus. Very clean, very large, and with many exotic varieties at a premium price point. There is an area in the middle that sells an assortment of Japanese snacks: dango, matcha tea, sun-dried squid, etc. To be honest, I never actually bought anything from the grocery store but I did go for SOGO's assortment of ready-to-eat food kiosks, all imported from Japan, all amazing. There's a quiche place with an array of the most beautiful quiches on display (fake, but still pretty), there's a cheese tart place (BAKE) that puts a dent in my heart and wallet because the tarts are so delicious and overpriced. There are Japanese sweets, Japanese cakes, and foreign snacks that a certain Japanese shop has repackaged for the Asian population. Beard Papa (cream puffs), Juchhheim (German layered cake), iCremeria (ice cream), Kobe Beef Meat Pie, all evil temptations for someone with an empty stomach. My favourite is Croissant Taiyaki (especially with apple filling): crispy, sugary, flaky pouches that marry French croissants and Japanese Taiyaki at HKD $18 a pop. Sinfully delicious. If you've never been here, drop by. If you're from North America, DEFINITELY MAKE A TRIP HERE. It's unlike anything I've ever seen (though I hear supermarkets like this are everywhere in Japan, lucky...) It may have been a blessing that I discovered it late in my time here in HK. I would've definitely gained a lot more weight if I knew about this place earlier. (73/100) - 2017

Having shopped at this store on occasion and other Market Place by Jason's around Hong Kong on…read moreoccasion, I definitely have an understanding of the brand, Including this store, they are always clean, organized with fresh produce. Their logo is hunter green & white and I can rely on finding a good variety of food labels I am seeking. I would say the brand is consistent. Maybe because I am American, this store and this Market Place by Jason's brand appeals to me. I think Market Place by Jason's and Wellcome might be in the same corporate family believe it or not (as most grocery chains are really globed together under the same umbrella in the world like this), but clearly Market Place by Jason's is there upscale brand in the family compared to Wellcome. Their layout and their marketing are completely different. Anyway, Wellcome's are not my favorite, but Market Place by Jason's are good by me. Located at the base of a large apartment complex, this might be the best international grocery option available in that are with brands like Nestle, Coke and organics.

The only thing that bums me out about this place is that produce seems to be really inconsistent . . . but with the wet markets and veg markets a moment away, I guess I shouldn't really complain. Lately I've been enjoying the World Market dips they've offered and FINALLY some sour cream! Lol. It's the little things in life. It's clean, organized, I get Octopus points, and the drinks are well-stocked. Western staples abound, good spices, etc. It's a win.

With another Wellcome just up the street and not my most favorite grocery brand in Hong Kong, I was happy to see some additional "more upscale" grocery brand come to my hood. Although Fusion up the way is closer to my actual home and probably more preferred by me, I actually like this Marketplace and will be a patron from time to time. It is very open at the front and very inviting to step into the long tunnel of a store that is carved out in this space. I feel like they might be lacking more extensive options on their shelves, they have fresh produce that is well displayed and a good variety of the basics that I am tending to grab more regularly in a week (milk, yogurt, etc.). The store always seems clean and organized since my few times of popping in since they opened.

Loved visiting Market Place by Jasons to pick up treats for family and friends back home…read more A great place to shop for teas, snacks and cookies. Choose a box or two of tea. Oolong. Green tea. Jasmine. Pu-erh. Red tea. Chrysanthemum. A great souvenir. Grab some snacks. Mooncakes. Rice treats. Wife biscuits. Dragon candy. Biscuits. So interesting to try to figure out what we were bringing back home. Surprised to see a shelf filled with American Old El Paso Taco Shells and seasoning and Cholula Hot Sauce. Fruits and veggies looked great. Grab a cold Hong Kong Milk Tea to go. Always fun to shop at local grocery stores for treats to bring back home.

Shopping in Hong Kong…read more.. We didn't know what kind of store 360° was, so we went in.

I was surprised to see marshmallows with Brown from Line Friends. I had to get it for Kathy H.! LOL! We looked in another 360° and found Brown marshmallows, but no Cony... Sad... Haha!

Staff here is always busy restocking items as there is a lot to see and what a fun place to explore what Hong Kong along with various other countries together share the same love of snacking.

They even have ready to eat hot and cold foods. Having only been to the Hawaiian locations in thr US, this was the first Donki I have visited in Asia. While the items inside are aplenty, the space absolutely not. This location is kind of hidden and there are stairs to go down into the store or else you'll need do wait for an elevator that only reaches a hotel lobby (a bit odd). The snacks are my favorite items to grab here and I definitely like that the goods are extreme expensive. It is hard to explore the store because of the huge variety but think of it as an adventure when you go. Also, be prepared to brave the line because it is always crowded. Get ready to squeeze in and out of almost every aisle when it's thr evening or weekend.

There are typical specials like buy 2-get a certain percentage off for chips which was about $15HKD for 2 bags and a wide array of Asian snacks. There is also a limited selection of fruits and vegetables, canned foods, soft drinks, beer/liquor (wine and soju), ramen and basic toiletries! There was only one cashier working at the time I went, which caused a line to form, but overall it was a no hassle experience and provided exactly I what I needed at very affordable prices. I would frequent this shop for everyday items if I lived in the neighborhood.
