What to buy before coming to Hong Kong??

[Fiona in HKG]

I've lived out of the UK for nearly 15 years now, and I still buy Heinz diet salad cream whenever I go home as I cannot get it anywhere else in the world and chose not to "adapt" to the local nasty varieties.

Moving, I saw it the other day in City'super in IFC. Heinz have the only real Salad Cream flavour, I agree, nothing compares

A visit to the optician is in order - potato masher. (you can get them here anyway).

You can get them here but it is a trip right. You can't just get one from Wellcome! I had mine sent from the UK and didn't see one in HK for over a year until I saw one in a little boutique in Sai Kung. As I said to the OP, he'll have enough on his plate without faffinf about looking for things like that!

I got mine in Park n Shop. Only a small one mind but it does the job.

When in doubt, try Ikea, they have pretty much most things in the way of kitchen utensils.

They didn't have one when I was looking, nor did Park N' Shop or Taste, same goes for bread knives. You guys would have laughed, my wife thought I was going nuts, I even looked potato mashers up on Alibaba, contacted a supplier in Hong Kong and toyed with the idea of buying the minimum order of 500 before I snapped out of it and had one sent over from England

I think I might have just used a fork.

Yes, I think most people would. People who know me will nod in bemusement because if I want a potato masher I will single mindedly demolish a mountain to get to one. It's not a good thing, really, not a good thing...

Did you see a doctor about your 'peculiar disposition'?

I dunno bryant, I've lived in Hong Kong almost all my life, my parents were here for over 40 years and we have never failed to find potato mashers! Being Scottish, the tatties were very important in our family

Being Scottish you were probably even more stubborn in your search for them than I was :-)
