Part 3, the 46th HK brands and products expo. 維園工展會

Eating is definitely the most important part of the Expo. Lots of booths are here offering a very wide variety of food, from dim sum, abalone, seafood, congee...even Taiwanese drinks and snacks. That was the 2nd last day on my visit and I noticed quite many booths taking the most common HK style slogan "want money, don't want the products" (photo 5). *check the last photo. Some coach tours (for those elderly from the New Territories - northern part of HK) were arranged and some courier services were there too. Quite many booths offer free delivery services for expenses over a few hundred HK$. *my photos for the 3 parts of this expo is just about 1/4th of the whole area.










Part 2, the 46th HK brands and products expo. 維園工展會

Some names we may forget but they are still in the market (photo 2-4).
Sampling eating is a very delightful thing here in this expo. You wouldn't feel hungry even after a few hours of checking around. There are so many things for you to sample, from soup, drinks to various snacks. Among those, the best sampling is "Tung Chun" black vinegar (photo 9). They put a diced hard boiled egg soaked in the black vinegar. So good and aromatic. I took a few of it. Some brands like "Lion head" oil (photo 10) has a package deal for free home delivery of 3-4 bottles of oil and 3-4 packs of "Golden Elephant" fragrant rice (about 20-30% cheaper than what you paid in Supermarket). Many booths offer a free trolley if you spend like HK$100-200, like the "Longevity Peach" 壽桃牌 offering a free trolley at the expenses of HK$80 (the right corner of the last 4th photo). At last, I like how Garden has their signature pattern bag. How can we forget this blue/white pattern :)

The 46th HK brands and products expo (part 1). 維園工展會

The expo was over about a week ago. I was happy to join the visit with my sister's family at this fun expo., and in fact impressed too. It's very well organised and lots of interesting indie and big brands were there. My sister and I also got excited to see the Thai brand Khon Kaen having a booth there. Naturally we bought a pack of freshly roasted dried pork (the last 2nd photo). Too bad their roasting machine wasn't powerful enough to make it burnt a bit. Anyway, we were still happy enough. More photos to follow on part 2.... *I believe many people would forget what's there on the last photo.
