Online groceries
If you are used to doing your grocery shopping online, then Wellcome
and Park n Shop offer and online service. This is great for stuff for
the cupboard but it’s unlikely that you will be able to buy everything.
It is useful to do some bulk orders online for household essentials but
you can’t avoid going to the shops!
To overcome the quality concerns over some of the meat available in
supermarkets, there are a number of online retailers of meat and bakery
products. There are an increasing number of suppliers who can offer
high quality imported products, at a price of course, and they are a
good way to supplement the weekly shop at your local supermarket.
For a list of online food retailers. We suggest the following:
Eat FRESH - organic, locally produced vegetables delivered straight to your door
Southstream Seafoods - NZ/US/Aus fresh and frozen meat, fish, and bakery items including gluten free options

Living in HK
I live in Hong Kong, I miss something that I never thought I would
miss – supermarkets! It has taken a lot of adjustment to accept that
buying the family groceries will not be as easy as it used to be and I
have had to adjust my shopping habits accordingly. The days of being
able to fill a trolley with everything on the list, as well as toys for
the kids and items for the home or sitting at home and doing the shop
online are over!
In Hong Kong there are two main retailers, Park n Shop and Wellcome that both have several different brand offerings to choose from.
In addition there is City Super, located in the large shopping malls in Times Square Causeway Bay, Harbour City in TST and IFC in Central. To make things easy for you, here is a breakdown of the types of stores available.
PARK N SHOP - common throughout Hong Kong and the larger ones are fine for the weekly shop. The Park n Shop group run the following stores:
International – good for day to day shopping, but range can be limited in the smaller stores so you may not be able to buy everything on your list in one go
Taste - generally includes a good range of ready prepared meals and non-food groceries. Good for the weekly shop.
Fusion – focus on the expat market with a good range of western food and drinks. Good for the weekly shop.
Gourmet – fresh produce and ready prepared meals – not for the weekly shop
Great – high end dining hall. Expect to spend more money than you ever intended on their huge range of tempting treats. Perfect for a special lunch but may break the bank if used every week!
WELLCOME– Online and instore
Wellcome stores have a budget feel to them. Although fine for day to day shopping, but not if you have something slightly unusual on your list. Small outlets are common throughout HK. The Wellcome Group run the following stores:
Market Place by Jasons – often located in areas with a high concentration of expats, these supermarkets offer a good range of both Asian and Western foods and groceries. Good for the weekly shop.
Olivers The Deli – located in the Prince’s Building in Central, this store has a fantastic range of European, Australian and US foods and wines. A bit pricey though.
Three Sixty – Organic and natural food store with a good range of fresh produce and niche organic products
CITY SUPER– In Store only
