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.

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.

Order off the menu or walk to the butcher across the restaurant. There, select your meat, temperature, side, sauce. Provide a table number. My filet was among the best I've ever had. My companion's lamb burger was perfect. The wine selection is good and whoever put together the list selected some good options All that said, there was nobody to greet us at the door and empty tables had reserved placards. We looked lost and awkward and eventually asked to see a menu and for an explanation. That person then vanished. A possibly Persian man returned and asked if we wanted a table but then told us there was nowhere in the restaurant. There is no list -- or so we were told. Then the original person returned and without explanation we had a table. Why? Had he racially profiled us? Was he just rude? I have no idea, but he consistently gave the most cursory and minimal responses throughout the night. The Persian(?) took our menu order but when asked about the butcher just motioned across the restaurant and said "go ahead." He didn't provide a table number so -- yet again -- another waiter had to be asked. Service was slow and encounters with waitstaff were sporadic, at best. The guy next to us received a 10% discount without even asking because his service was so delayed. All staff speak perfect English. Prices are moderate for Hong Kong but reasonable for ROW (rest of world).

You can find the shops in Hong Kong but the prices are more expensive than getting it direct from Macau. There are multiple stores in Macau and from what I could tell, the prices were the same even if you were closer to the ferry. There are boxes of cookie, jerky, etc samples throughout the store and the employees are typically a little pushy to get you in and looking around. I think it's because that's half the battle. Once you're in and you try a sample, you'll walk out with full yellow bags of goodies! Highly recommend: Walnut and peanut brittle which was very light and crunchy vs the American version that feels like you're going to break your teeth! At $15 USD for a generous size box and gorgeous packaging, it was a great souvenir. We got packaged jerky instead of the fresh jerky that you can buy by the pound. The employee said it was the same but the packaged ones come in little 2" sealed chunks. Instructions say to heat it up prior to eating which resulted in a smoky microwave and super hot napalm covered jerky. Pineapple cakes: get the big box. Tender and almost crumbly cake / cookie outside and pineapple filling; you can see the chunks of fruit! Absolute perfection. Shortbread cookies: comes in multiple flavors. My son loved the chocolate chip the best. Some of the packaging at Kee Wah looks similar to Koi Kei but they are not the same. Both are good but Koi Kei is top notch. Can't wait to visit again!

One thing I do not understand is that the items in the HK Koi Kei is way more expensive than the Macau Koi Kei. I suggest you get it at Macau.

I do enjoy their products!
