I saw Ma po po farm featured in a blog as one of the top 5 organic farms in Hong Kong and next…read moreSunday morning, off I was to check it out. Mapopo Farm is located in Ma Shi Po Village. I took the MRT to Fan Ling and then got on a light bus to the village. If you don't speak Cantonese you should probably bring the name of the farm written down in Cantonese characters as locals didn't seem to have a clue about it when I talked to them in English. After 15 minutes walking in circles I found out that the farm was just 2 minutes away from the bus stop... I was extremely excited to be there at last! I first visited the small market at the entrance. There wasn't much on display, just a few leafy green, potatoes, and ginger. They are all organic and prices are very reasonable. A nice old lady added some extra ginger to my bag for free. I asked some of the staff about the produce and they told me this time of the year (March) wasn't the greatest to grow vegetables and recommended I come back in June. At the time I visited the farm there was a cooking workshop going on at the other side of the market, but it was being held in Cantonese so I just wander around to see if I could pick up any words...not a chance! Just after I made my precious purchases I decided to visit the farm, as rain was on a truce. I saw a group of people doing a guided tour and I thought it was a better idea than visit on your own. That way you can find out more about what the actually grow and how the community works. However my personal tour around Mapopo was a peaceful treat to the senses...you only need to walk a few steps into the farm to feel you are in the middle of nature. After my retreat, it started to pour down again and I started my long journey back... I would recommend visiting Mapopo farm on a sunny day, arrange for a guided tour and bring your friends along. They sell their produce at their market on Wednesdays and Sundays and provided the reason is fruitful, it is worth checking it out.

Mong kok market is such a fun place for shopping and food. The shops in the streets and the ones in…read morethe buildings, both have such huge amount of goods, selling at a very reasonable price. We bought good quality jackets, dresses, pajamas from here from bunch of shops. Also got lots of souvenirs at least than half of price compared to stores in malls and airports. There are many bakery and restaurants near the streets. All selling amazing and delicious looking HK style foods. We had some quick bites while shopping, all tasted so good. I'd highly recommended this area to all tourists looking to pack up their luggage with lots of shopping.

Did you know that one of HK's largest wet markets is in North Point? Nope, neither did I, and I'm a…read morelocal! Discovered on a recent walk-about, I found that the North Point tram ends in the centre of this amazing wet market, which to be fair has its fair share of dry! So the wet side, as expected, caters the food angle, with an amazing variety of fruits, vegetables, and meats. Beware that the butchery is right in front of you, so if you are of a delicate "veggie" constitution, like the lovely Mrs L, you may want to turn away now...! I find a small handkerchief with a spray of something floral takes the edge off the meaty smells. On the veggie side of the scale, you will not be disappointed. The variety and freshness of the produce is so brilliant, I don't think I want to ever shop in Wellcome again! You really need to take a look for yourself and see. Beyond the wet side, there are also a number of "dry" stalls, selling clothes, bags, toys. It's basically like Ladies Market in Mong Kok, but set along a much wider street, so you don't feel like you are being squeezed into the consumer sausage machine. The goods are not the classic fake LV bags of Mong Kok, but there are loads of cheap bits, like gents swimmers for only HKD20. If you only wore them once they would still be a bargain! There is also a lot of ladies underwear for sale, but it does look a bit polyester, so perhaps not the best for HK! What it could do with is a few more cooked food places, you know, like street food. However, if you feel peckish, you could duck out easily onto King's Road and get a burger.

But that's all part of the experience. The best deals are in the middle row, where they sell a dish of seafood for $20 or $25. On the 3rd floor, there are two veggie stalls that sell Brussels sprouts and fresh lettuce, such as butter, frisée, and endives. These are prized items that are hard to find on the Kowloon side and New Territories.
