In an area full of gourmet grocers and chains that sell imported fresh herbs at highway robbery…read moreprices, Wah Kee is a breath of fresh air. They offer a lot of herbs required in gweilo cooking (flat leaf parsley, basil, rosemary...) at relatively affordable prices. I also like how they have salad greens (mixed, rocket/arugula) that you can bag yourself. On my last visit, I picked up basil, flat leaf parsley, a carrot, and some mixed salad greens, all for $50HK. Portions were bigger as well. Do some shopping at nearby Jason's, Wellcome, CitySuper, etc, and you'll know that's a steal. As a side note, they occupy an actual shop so their prices might not be the cheapest, but I still prefer them because they have good signage in English and it's less of a language barrier for me. Just a heads up, you might be able to find things slightly cheaper at the outdoor stalls nearby.

I have always griped about how fresh produce isn't fresh in Hong Kong supermarkets - call me an…read moreEnglish girl coming from a family of salt of the earth Lincolnshire farmers. It pains me to buy bags of lettuce that are already rotting to tomatoes that taste of water. My problem has been solved. I discovered Wah Kee Fresh Fruit and Vegetable a couple of weeks ago and have been back every weekend since to pick up my weekly veggie haul. The produce is fresh and unbruised (a feat considering the transportation needed to get them here). What's more - they last! I have never had a to question "is this still okay to cook with" on a Wednesday evening as I'm ravenously chopping up a courgette and throwing it into a pan. What's more - it's a pure delight to pick out the veggies you want. With a local farmers market feel to the shop, you're eyes are met with colour and variety. Want a purple cauliflower? Head to Wah Kee. Want to make a rainbow tomato salad? Well, they have orange, yellow, and even black; not forgetting the selection of average red tomatoes (I typically opt for the Italian). Shopping is easy. Pick up a plastic bowl and hand pick your choice veggies and fruit. Hop on over to the friendly ladies on the counter who will weigh out and total up your spend. They often throw in some free coriander or spring onion. It's my new favourite weekend morning activity, swiftly followed by a cold coffee after my mooch around the markets.

The fruit market is a gem! In the early morning, it's mainly rushed wholesale shopping, but as the…read moreday goes on, it becomes a retail shopping area for locals to get all sorts of fruit. You can find just about any fruit you would want, including fruit from all around Asia and in-season specialty fruit. When shopping, make sure you walk up and down the street to compare prices and stock before buying anything. You can usually get vendors to match one another in price, or knock some money off the price (especially if you are buying multiple pieces from them). While I wouldn't exactly call it a tourist attraction, it's a nice view of normal Hong Kong life shopping at wet markets for daily food.

He's…read morenot old enough to appreciate the animals yet, but I am so I love dropping by and seeing the gibbons (extremely active and always swinging around), turtles, and birds! This park is stroller and wheelchair friendly (which is not a given in Hong Kong, unfortunately.) It's also very big, so you might want to consider choosing what areas you want to visit before coming so you can manage your time effectively. My favourite areas are the mammal side (near the Caine Road/Caritas Community Centre entrance) and the beautiful fountain near the Albany Road/Upper Albert Road area. Wherever you end up, there's always some good landscaping with lots of flowers, which is great for photo ops.
