The Jusco in Hung Hom is as big as any place I've been to here, including Tung Chung. Maybe it just feels more like home because it's the usual UK style rectangle with rows of aisles and is actually reasonably easy to navigate.
according to wiki (i know... i know...) the PnS in Po Lam is more than twice the size of Festival Walk Taste..

just realized that Po Lam data may be before they took a big chunk out of the floor space for a new hallway with more smaller shops (Sunning, etc) and a food court...
Taste in Hang Hau has to be among the top few as well...

Does anyone use parknshop? I always think about it but never order.
I don't think the size of supermarket bears much if any benefit to Europeans, as it rarely if ever correlates to offering a wider variety of products that are more appealing to us.
City Super super markets aren't all that big, they are generally about a standard size, but they sell a much higher concentration of things that I actually like to buy/eat. Very few supermarkets can compare when it comes to the range of Japanese/Western products plus the proper deli counter that City Supers command. We regularly shop at CS in Shatin, TST and Taste in Festival Walk, the latter is the best Taste on Kowloon side in my opinion, as they have a much more comprehensive / western focussed bakery section & a lot larger deli counter ( considerably broader selection), not quite as good as CS, but the Festival Walk one is passable. It's a damn sight better than the NT Tastes though, which I grew very bored of. The bigger = better philosophy doesn't really apply to super markets, the Park n Shop Mega store in Yuen Long is probably one of the biggest, but just carries a larger range of items that I don't want to buy lol......
Over and above that, I honestly prefer strip shopping, nothing beats having a group of independent, ground level bespoke meat/deli/organic food shops/bakeries, that cater for my needs, and for that, Sai Kung does a fine job over and above anywhere else we have lived in HK. I can walk around a couple of blocks within 5 minutes walking distance of our car and do a weekly shop, even stopping off at The Color Brown café for a proper, single origin,espresso, between boot loads.
