    PnS and Wellcome sell Birds custard powder at $14.40. It's in a 300g tin.

    Lion custard powder is also sold in HK supermarkets, usually when they run out of Birds.

    London Food Factory Products Hong Kong are the importer, phone number 2421 2709, maybe they can offer you a stockist that's handy to where you live.

    The Custard brands mentioned , are traditional British custards, that have existed for over 100 years. Custard is traditionally a very pale yellow in colour when simmered in milk. Looking at a manual recipe using egg yokes etc, instead of powder, a vanilla pod or vanilla essence is the flavouring used..
