Fun place for sweet, unique treats for yourself or gifts for others…read more Located in the shopping center/mall at the top of the Peak. Science themed candy shop. Assorted flavors of jelly beans in test tubes and test tube racks. Other candies in beakers/flasks. Chocolate bars in IV/medical bags. Other treats presented as pills/medicines. Fun. Staff was very nice. Gave us extra bags as many of our purchases were gifts. Also gave us free chocolates :-) Minimum purchase required to use credit cards (100 HKD I think).

If you want to impress your friends aboard with truly local snack, this is THE place…read more Wong Wing Kee has been around for more than a century, owned by Wong's four generation of family, but the shop here in Sheung Wan looks very classy, neat and clean. The staff here are super friendly, and that is something you will be kinda of surprised to see in HK. They will offer you free sample to try, and there you can tell the difference between their products and others' - strong flavour but not overly sweet or salty. For expats, here is some good news. All products are labelled in their English translation too. I'd never know 腐乳 is preserved bean curd, but here you go. They have almost every local snack you can name, 話梅、陳皮、冬薑、焗蓮子、山楂餅、加應子 (hey, come to the shop and look for the translation yourself...), but also flower flavoured tea bags. Extra bonus if you want to post the snack aboard - they can advise you which snack you can import to US and which you cannot. Very handy advice as I had absolutely zero ideas. If you look carefully in the shop, you can also see a photo of the owner with Prince Charles. Kinda of a big deal you wouldn't expect from a very local shop just sitting around the corner in Sheung Wan!

This place is around the corner from me in Sheung Wan and located on a street in which most of the…read morestores are selling dried goods. It is a bulk store, selling various bulk items. In addition to bulk items (which they are known for), they have an entire wall full of crackers and cookies and things made by various brands from around the world. This store is packed wall to wall with dried fruits, nuts, candies, coookies, crackers, chocolates, etc. It is bulk buying. The staff will help you scoop out the amount you want in a clear plastic bag, weigh it and seal it up for you. Prices are posted as per pound. My doorman says that this place is very good and very well known. I specfically went in looking for raw nuts (almonds and pecans). They have well over three dozen different types of nuts, because they have almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, etc. and then have those nuts raw, honey, salted, wasabi, etc. Lots of variet. I am a simple raw nut person and these nuts are the absolutle, hands down, freshest nuts I have ever consumed. I cannot image buying nuts anywhere else in Hong Kong now that I have had them here. Nuts are not cheap in general and I felt these were good prices, especially considering the quality. I paid about $70-$85HKD per pound for nuts, depending on the nut. The store is brightly lit, clean and staff is available if you need them.

It is always a joy to pass by the store just to check what the staffs are making . seriously, how do you pull these detailed letters, icons from the blocks of coloured sugar ? Such skills and art for the eyes . From what I read, the owner especially learned this candy making skill from its Aussie originator. I'd just hope the store will be around long enough to keep me entertained each Christmas .

Candy, candy, candy...! All together now... If you like sweet stuff with words or pretty pictures…read morethrough them, then Sticky is for you. As the name sort of betrays, it is a "stick" shop, and by stick I mean "Brighton Rock" stick, you know the stuff I mean? Sticky sells a variety of flavoured sweets, all of which have started life as "Brighton Rock", but have since been hacked into small bite size morsels and packaged into the thickest plastic bags known to man. It has taken away some of the joy of having a stick of rock, but never mind, I never liked having to rewrap my rock after I've dribbled all over it anyway. I digress... The rock bites come in bags and jars, and there are a number of different flavours. They also do curled up rock on a stick - basically a lollypop rock. That's about all they have! It is all hand-made in store, in their open kitchen, so as well as the stock varieties, you can order custom made pieces. Some friends did so recently for wedding favours, which was a really nice touch. The shop itself is mental. It is gaudy and bright, screaming of Willy Wonka, so be wary of bringing your kids past it! There is also a massive amount of real estate for a few jars and bags of sweets, but the fact that I could turn around without breaking something was great.

Watch out and beware.
