Any idea if there are any specialized stores for frozen vegies or some supermarkets with bigger variety but still affordable?
I just returned from Europe and have been spoiled with a huge variety of inexpensive frozen bagged vegetables. At Metro a 2.5kg bag would cost me HKD 65 and they had a huge number of choices. At other supermarkets 750 grams HK$ 15-25 per kg (or more depending on "brand"). Now I am back in HK with my somewhat limited (affordable) variety. In Hong Kong I mostly rely on the following:
The classic, HKD 11.90 or so for around 450 grams.
Another classic, I thought about HKD 11.90 as well, but apparently it's HKD 15.90 according to PNS online store. 450 grams as well.
Arctic Garden Italian Style Mix - the good stuff! I am looking for more like this. HKD 40.90 for 750 grams.
Sometimes I also have frozen carrots, leafy spinach (unable to find creamed spinach), different beans, and of course also canned vegies like mushrooms, beans, green beans, corn, diced tomatoes etc. Trying to avoid cans though. And I try to buy only pure vegies, so no "asia oriental mix" with spices/oil in the mix. I also don't buy fries or other stuff to fry or bake, I am more after the fibrous vegetables.
I also buy fresh, but frozen vegetables are more convenient, no need to shop around every two days and they are prepared within minutes.
I have a slightly bigger freezer so no problem to travel a bit for restocks.
