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).

Aji Ichiban is a fun place. It's more than just a sweet shop as its category suggests. They sell…read moreall sorts of snacks and I think it really caters towards the Asian fan base. We really do enjoy our small treats and this shop feeds into that addiction. From your favorite childhood candies that are often displayed prominently on your coffee tables at home for guests to more unusual treats that are treasures from other countries, they have it all here. When you walk in, you'll be overwhelmed with the choices around you. At this branch, I'd say it's a smaller one than some of the others that you can find around here. On the walls are the prepackaged mass quantity treats that you can take and bring home to treasure for a while. In the middle are the treats that are scooped out and paid for by weight. Some of the interesting things that I think are awesome here are the Hawthorn (think of it as a fruity cookie) and the dried squid. If you're adventurous, you can buy the individually packaged duck tongues which are more delicious than you think. They also have gummies and other fruit candies for those who are looking for something familiar. This place is surprisingly busy but I guess that's because its in the epicenter of all the shops downtown. There's a lot of foot traffic! These treats serve as great gifts as well so if you're having trouble finding something for a friend, I suggest picking up some stuff here!

This branch is always busy and service is brisk and professional…read more This shop has all the local snacks you ever wanted or needed in individual packets or in bulk. Melon seeds? In all kinds of exotic flavours, even wasabe! Seaweed? Small snack sized packs to giant Korean style SHEETS of seaweed. Candy? Gummy candies in mystery shapes and colours. Suspicious and made-in-China. Buyer beware! Chocolates from strange and mysterious places, too! Dried fruits? Longans, lychees, canteloupes, mangos! Chicken wings? Individually packed chicken wings, ready to eat. That's right. Ready-to-eat. No cooking required. I'm afraid. Hard boiled eggs? Yup, cooked, shelled and shrink wrapped. Great for your mid-night cravings for hard-boiled eggs. Just open a packet and eat. Erm, goes well with pre-cooked shrink-wrapped chicken wings. (See above) I come here usually to get my favourite savoury snack: Isoyaki Scallop. Individually packed scallops, ready to eat. Salty like hell, mouth watering UMAMI-ness. Price comparison: 2 packets of approx 250g Isoyaki Scallops are HK$400 here. BUT at the Hong Kong airport's branch, the same two packets go for HK$500. Might even be cheaper if I go to other branches! (Actually, I remember getting one packet for HK$180 from a branch near the Luk Kwok Hotel.) Conclusion: Don't buy from the branch at the airport. Shop around the different branches to compare prices. But if HK$20 to HK$100 price difference does not matter, then just grab what you want when you see it and enjoy your snacks!

My second Christmas buying this jar of lovely candies. Just looking through the jar and finding…read morethat one special edition that may have fallen in just puts a smile on my face. 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.

After passing this Old Sweet Shoppe in Hong Kong multiple times, I had to pass them a visit. A VERY…read morebig selection of Chocolates, Bon Bons, Taffy, and novelty candies. Quite expensive per Chocolate Bar or box of chocolates so I just took one of their "Traditional Toffee" Tins and made my way to the Jars of Assorted flavors of candies on the back wall. Word to the wise: Sample any of their candy before buying!! This Candy Shoppe opened in 1891 and every piece of candy taste like it was from this date! Horrible.. I spent HKD400 and they gave me a free bag of Gummy Candies. Great gesture but even these candies were stale and old! Such a great branding on a candy shop that hasn't update their candy in over 120 years...

They really…read moredid do a good job of making it feel like an "old(e)" sweet shop(pe), with a dark wooden interior, glass jars of colourful confectionaries along the back wall, and having the word "handmade" mentioned on some of the candies so it makes you feel like you're picking something up from the neighbourhood candy man. Still, this is a nice choice if you're looking to treat yourself to something a little more special than the candies at 7-Eleven, but not looking to take out a small bank loan to finance some truffles at a high-end shop in Central (La Maison du Chocolat, anyone?) There's a good range of Mr Simms branded candies, along with other popular brands like Nerds. Overwhelmed? Try focusing on their fudge or chocolate truffle selection. Their caramel fudge is extremely sweet and delicious, and best if taken in small quantities if you want to avoid a sugar overdose. A 150g bag goes for $68. I've also tried a little of their dark chocolate truffle which is also delicious, though heads up- it does have a little bit of rum in it.
