[quote=\"starlight1968sg\"]For \"wife\" biscuits, which is the recommended brand? How much?

Thanks.

I like Hung Heung.

Me too but i was told that the local prefer weng hua....[/quote]can get from the duty free in HK airport

Do you mean I can buy weng hua wife biscuits at the duty free shops in HK airport? Would the price be cheaper?

There are weng hua branches near Yau Ma Tei subway which is near my accommodation when I am in HK.
As for Hung Heung wife biscuits, any branches near Yau Ma Tei subway?
Thank-you.

I like the tea candy at Weng Wah. The reason I like Hung Heung's wife biscuits is that they are freshly packed if you pick from the store. I can't find fresh ones from Weng Wah. Only find their vacuum packed ones only. Fresh taste so much better :). Another biscuit store I like is Kee Wah. I like their walnut and almond cookies. They have great gift packs for buying back for friends too. Enjoy eating in HK!

What is tea candy?
Yes, I tried vacuum packed weng wah wife biscuits and like them. Of course, the freshly baked ones would be even better.
This is my first time hearing Kee Wah. Any such branch or shop near Yau Ma Tei?
Thank-you.

Wing Wah is inside the post-customs area. Kee Wah is outside, near the check-in counters. I personally didn’t like Wing Wah.

Tea candies are hard candies in a small tin in tea flavors like jasmine, long Jin etc. Very refreshing and not very sweet. Love the fragrance. They are the only thing I get from Weng Wah.

The last time I got fresh Hung Heung at Causeway Bay and Central. Sorry, never stay at Kowloon side, so not sure whether younhave it at Yau Ma Tei. Same for Kee Wah.

I think prices at airport or town is similar. I get from town when I come pass them, easier to pack. I personally hate to have to hand carry too much stuff onto the plane.

Actually I cannot remember which terminal. But I was taking SQ and CX.

Actually, I like to get the biscuits from airport coz they are so delicate you must hand carry. I pack everything else in my bags and leave my hands for these biscuits.

Thanks for sharing!

Besides wife biscuits, I can get tea candies!
Looks like not only I have to bring big luggages, I have to bring a big and deep wallet too :evil:
