brown sugar for baking?

[o-camille-o]

what do you about brown sugar for baking? i've been buying chinese brown sugar and crushing it with a large knife...very time-consuming! TIA!

you can find the soft brown sugar for baking here. i recently got some at park and shop. i usually buy a couple when i find it, cuz there are times when it disappears for a while.

oc you are using the wrong thing.

Brown sugar is in Olivers in Princes building also.

the park'n'shop in db is rarely out of brown sugar. (one of the only things it DOESN'T seem to run out of!)

Local sugar producer (not sure if that's the right word since I doubt they actually produce sugar per se) Taikoo has soft brown sugar for baking. I think it's packaged in a resealable plastic bag (like a Ziploc). Should be available in most supermarkets, although it would help if you were at a bigger one or one in a traditional 'expat' area e.g Taste in Kln Tong, ThreeSixty at the Landmark, Wellcome in Repulse Bay.

There's Taikoo Brown Sugar and CSR in ParknShop.

I just bought a bag of Whitworth's light brown cane sugar at Great supermarket in Pacific Place today. It's just like the moist soft brown sugar I bought in the US.

Often brown sugar is only sold in solid blocks, avoid as its a PITA to use for cooking. However Wellcome, Taste, and Great all have loose brown sugar. Taikoo also sell red sugar as a varient.

Taikoo is based in Taikoo Shing on Hong Kong island, so you can find many different varieties of sugar here.
