Great place to stop by to shop for gifts!…read more My trip to Indonesia included a layover to and from Indo, so I made a mental note to self that I would buy something on the return flight home. They have a lot of interesting snacks such as wasabi flavored peas/crackers, duck tongue, beef jerky, dried fruits and an assortment of candies. I was most interested in the assortment of jerky. I got one of the packs that had a variety of flavors - satay, fruit, pepper, original, spicy and XO sauce. I wanted to grab more things, but I had limited space to bring stuff back, so I only got one item. Cashier had some trouble processing my order. They give you an option to pay via USD or HK. I initially chose USD since it was an option, but the machine took a really long time to process. Instead, we canceled the transaction and paid via HK since my card didn't have foreign fees. It went through without a hitch and I was well on my way out with gifts for everyone. I wish I had more room to buy more things. You could easily buy these items in bulk and assemble unique gift bags for friends. Definitely a place to visit if you're stuck at the airport and prices seemed reasonable to me.

Koi Kei has set the bar on pineapple cakes for me. I am ruined for the rest of my life until I can…read moremake my way back to their shops. 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. Also the Macau Koi Kei is crazy packed full of people and HK Koi Kei is very quiet. I mean of course if you do not want to travel to Macau then you might as well get it here. I do enjoy their products!

The selection here is smaller than the ubiquitous locations in Macau which you find in just about every street near the Ruins of St. Paul's. Unlike in Macau, they don't offer Portuguese egg tarts here unfortunately. Store is too small I guess. However, they do have a nice selection of snack cakes and desserts. They come prepackaged so they are perfect as souvenir gifts from your trip. What I like about Koi Kei is that you can sample the product. They have boxes of each item that you can try out before you buy. I bought a couple things from here and I liked them both. The phoenix egg rolls are nice and crispy, but the key ingredient are the coconuts shavings inside. Though beware this product does not travel so well. The package I brought back was mostly intact, but there were a few egg roll pieces that were crumbled up. I would also recommend the orange peel cake that they have here. It is not for everyone, but I really like how fragrant it is and the texture of the pastry. It is nice to know that you don't have to make the trek across the water to Macau to get these delights. A trip to this store in Mong Kok will suffice.

I am so glad they have a place on Yelp for me to give a review! I was here last April 3rd for a…read moreflight out, and I dropped by to shop for some goodies. I am giving 2 stars for these reasons.. 1 star for the selections and presentation... 2nd star for the promotion available... The rest of the missing stars goes to this review. It is just very unfortunate that I never expected an upscale airport shop could do such thing to transit passengers.. more so to international transit passengers! And I truly believe they have not done it to me but to a ton of other people as well. 1) the promotion- when I was shopping, I was trying to get the best deals I could get. I came upon one brand.. it said Villars.. buy 4 get 1 free.. in huge bold letters.. and whatever fine markings that apparently referred to a particular product, it was hidden by the bars of the shelving. Thus, "us" shoppers would tend to miss that part and think "all" Villars products are Buy 4 Get 1 free! , .but as soon as you check out, you get charged all 5! 2) I was looking at the Milka /wafer products and was aware it didn't have a promotion but wanted them anyway. So , I limited myself to buying only 2packs. As I checked out, the lady who helped me told me that I should get 1 more pack since they had a promotion on them. If I .buy 2, ..they are 20% off each. So, I added one more to get all 4 at 20% off each. Lo and behold after she rang my tab, she told me she would put my receipt inside my shopping bag. I said ok.. ...but I was busy on my phone. I wanted to use my HK coupon but they said it was only eligible online.. which didn't make any sense to me.. so I went on my way. When I went back to the lounge, I tried to look for the receipt and couldn't find it. I checked my purse, ..the shopping bag and still couldn't find it. So, we don't back to the store. They told me they placed it inside. I gave my shopping bag for them to see. They couldn't find it. So they reprinted me another receipt. As we went to our gate, I looked over the receipt. .there I saw that the Villars chocolate that i got were all charged in full and I didn't get the promotion. And the Milka chocolates were also charged in full. So, I went to the nearest Sweet Dreams shop that I could find. I asked the lady if the Milka chocolate was on sale. She told me it wasn't. But she tried to double check. She approached Simon. Simon took over and suggested me. I told him about what happened. He called the Sweet Dream shops where I bought the chocolates from and told them about my concern. They explained about the Villars chocolate.. i could not refute that, i just thought it was a shameful plug. But as for the Milka, there's a camera ..to prove what she did. Simon offered to run back thnk get the refund since my boarding was less than 10minutes away. He was kind enough to process it for me. Kudos to staffs like him. Im just shocked to see airport shops operate this way. If I didn't check, I could've left feeling scammed. See attached receipt.. -this is already the updated one. They took the original receipt from me. Now, I'm very skeptical on shopping at the HongKong airport again.

They got us to purchase 6 pieces while we were on our way to afternoon tea, that means a lot in their product. Def give this place a shot, for there are not many shops around the global for you to try out their chocolate.

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.
