Good place to buy Hong Kong signature snack
I really like this outlet here at Terminal 1 departure hall. It allows for easy access to Hong Kong pastries and wifey biscuits. Prices are slightly higher than what you would find in the city, but for the convenience, I'm more than willing to pay a slight premium, especially for some last minute shopping before taking off.
Excellent "wife" biscuits - probably the best I have ever had. Get the freshly made ones if they are available - these are packed differently, 8 in a box and only lasts 4 days, but oh so good !! Not too sweet and very flavorful. Otherwise, the individually pre-packed boxes are good for gifts and last about 2-3 weeks.
Another highly recommended option is their black sesame egg rolls. Even more popular with my colleagues than the "wife" biscuits !
Probably the most convenient Lee Wah that you can find in Hong Kong, being right at the departure halls of Terminal 1, in the middle, right by the escalator going up to the restaurant floors.
Do get the cookies and the winter melon pastry if you have hand carry space! I absolutely love their almond crisps, and the mini almond cookies that I happened to test at the shop itself.
Shopkeepers are not the most friendly bunch, but not complaining. And oh it's 50c HKD if you need the big gift bag, but the paper bags are free.
Convenient for travellers but price is slightly higher than shops in town.
This place scams those who use foreign credit card. They are supposed to ask you if you want to pay in HKD or in your home currency, but they don't and make you pay in your home currency and an extra fee for that! Be careful. The staff might look friendly but they will take your money. Not big, but think how many people use this store before leaving Hong Kong.
If you can't enough of Kee Wah's wife cakes, here's an outlet in the airport terminal to satisfy those cravings and purchase some as gifts to family and friends. It gets busy with Mainland Chinese tourists buying luggage loads of Chinese pastries.
The wife cake has a flaky crust sprinkled with sesame seeds, covering the sweet and soft content. Occasionally there are tastings of freshly baked versions at the shop.
It is a good place if you would like to shop for some tasty souvenirs.
ok
Great place to get last minute authentic HK food items and gifts. Prices are reasonable; better than other stores.
