So interesting to visit the Wan Chai Market with Jacky from This Is Asia Tours…read more Wan Chai was established in the 1930s as a wet market, or a local market for fresh fish, fruits, vegetables and meat. Today, you can still choose from a wide variety of fresh fish or other seafood. That is fish that are alive in a small tank swimming and thrashing. You choose your fish, or other amphibian dinner choice, and they kill, skin and scale it for you to take home and cook. Can't get much fresher than that unless you caught it yourself. Apparently they used to have poultry as well in the past. Fears of avian flu have made that market offering virtually obsolete. The selection of baskets and baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables was quite impressive. Rambutan. Longan. Durian. Cherries. Mangosteen. Water spinach. Choi sum. Grab some spices, too. There are also bakeries filled with egg tarts and pineapples buns (that don't have pineapple) and a shop that sells snake soup that does have snake. Did not sample that one. Shop like a local at the Wan Chai Wet Market.

REVIEWER # 2 Hong…read moreKong Farmers Markets have a great variety of vegetables and fruit! I am happy to say that I was able to witness that as I was here for my vacation. During my visit in Hong Kong I found this as I was going to Tai Cheong Bakery. The Farmers Market conveniently runs through a long street from Des Veoux Road and Graham Street and is located in the center of the walkway that connects the ferry pier and the footbridge that leads to Central. The market is small compared to other markets I have seen however the amount of veggies and fruit still makes this a place to not pass up! The vendors they are pretty nice and friendly. The variety of meat that they serve is absolutely amazing. I came on a Tuesday around noon and they still had a great selection of fruits vegetables and other things as well. They also have a market called Man Kee Shing Pork Chops that you can also buy live fresh fish and many different varieties of the meat as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. On Sundays they are organized by KFBG from 11AM-5PM and Wednesdays they are organized by SEEDS from 12PM-6PM. I came on a Tuesday where they were opened from 11AM-5PM. If you are ever in the area on a Tuesday afternoon I definitely recommend this place for you to try. Contact Info: seed@seed.org.hk / info@kfbg.org REVIEW 197/196

Yeah, I do love a food market. It's the lively colorful picture that always gets me. And I can't…read morehelp but smiling even wider when it's a farmer, locally grown organic market. I knew the Farmers Market was going on when I walked past the Pier on my way to Lamma, and I knew I wasn't coming back on time to buy my veggies that day. I also knew I was coming back just to do exactly that the following Sunday morning. The market is a small one, where farmers offer their produce at large tables, placed in a square shaped area. The produce is seasonal so you'll find different veggies from time to time. Some of what they sell: leafy greens, okra, cucumber, beets, bitter gourd...Most of the farmers will expect you to ask them questions and it's a great place to learn about what you eat: there are no intermediaries so prices are fair, and affordable. The Wednesday one, which is a bit smaller than Sunday's, is organized by SEED, a foundation that promotes 'sustainable lifestyle' and has helped local farmers with the marketing of their produce. They even advertise and promote its farmers on their website so that you can get to know them beforehand. They would expect you to bring your own bag and it is also advisable to get there early, for fresher, greater variety. Do you have plans this weekend? I do...you'll find me at the Central Farmers Market on Sunday morning!

As I walked around the streets I could smell the raw meat and fish put out by the vendors in front of their shops. They are friendly and try their best to communicate with foreigners. This is as local of an experience one can get to see how Hong Gong people go about their life.

everything tastes delicious!…read more Deep Fried Chicken (score 5/5) The outside is crispy and the inside is tender. Deep Fried Fish (score 5/5) it's the first time that I taste a kind of fish that the meat is so soft and yet they fried the outside of the skin is crispy and yellowish brown. Veggies fried with preserved sausage (score 5/5) the sausage tastes delicious and turns a plain dish alive! Deep fried Pawns (score 5/5) The shell is hard. It tastes a bit spicy but it blends very well with the beer

There are plenty of places to buy fruit in HK, but I have chanced upon a great little stall/hole in…read morethe wall shop, that sells the slightly more off beat fruits. Based in Tin Hau, a block or so away from the MTR along Electric Road, is this little mom and pop fruit stall, which does exactly that, it sells more off beat fruits, rather than the standard fare. First thing I notice is that the fruit is fresh and ripe, but not spoiled. I find in the supermarkets in HK, they have a habit of packaging fruit and veg into bags with x number of pieces, only for you to get home and find the half of them are rotten. Here, like a market stall, you can choose your fruit individually, and they charge by weight, not number. There is always plenty on display, but never so much that they have to keep the products out to spoil. They must actually do a roaring and fast turning trade. The main highlight for me and Mrs L, is the availability of slightly odd fruits, like custard apples. Some of these things are not so available in HK, so it's good to have a stall that has them in season. Give it a go, the staff are surprisingly nice, given it is a market stall and stall holders can be surprisingly pushy, these folks are happy for you to browse and take photos, even if you don't end up buying.

I'd highly recommended this area to all tourists looking to pack up their luggage with lots of shopping.

While the selection of goods and stalls is not particularly large, I loved seeing the local eateries just next door and the fact that the market is stuck right in between huge towering commercial buildings. What a contrast between old/new HK! Unlike the more touristy markets, you'll find the prices here are pretty much static, unless the owner is trying to completely rip you off. The one time I tried to haggle, the owner essentially laughed in my face and told me to leave. Rude yes, but then again, so was my offer!
