Hi group!
Has anyone ever heard of this place? They are in Hongkong and have a few _very_ nice (sounding) specialities in their program. Thanks, Ralf -- mail2me? add a box to the mail - anything else is dumped! |

Yes, I've been there once long ago (which means that I don't remember
much about it, but since not many HK'ers post here I thought I would answer anyway). It struck me as a nice place to buy a gift because the packaging was fancy. I remember being impressed with their quality but also only bought a token amount because the prices were very high. On subsequent trips I have bought tea at Ying Kee 719 Nathan Road, Mong Kok Tel: 2391 2388 which is a nice little place that sells tea in paper bags or reused tea cans. Also a tiny little place at the Temple Street Market (two blocks West of the Eaton Hotel, is all I can do to guide you there). If you want fancy packaging you can buy a little "silk" purse at the Market for a buck or two. I got very friendly receptions at these shops (in very broken English, of course, but that's fine). They seemed happy to see a Westerner. Have fun. Eat lots of strange things. Rick. Ralf Schreiner > wrote: > Hi group! > Has anyone ever heard of this place?

Hi Rick,
thanks a lot, i was off the net for a couple weeks and just came to read this. Actually I planned to mail-order there, maybe I should have mentioned this ;o) Anyway, thanks again. Ralf I followed your advice when I was in China.... I did not regret it but I guess that's partly because I didn't know what's on the plate all the time On Mon, 20 Oct 2003 13:56:20 +0000 (UTC), Rick Chappell > wrote: >Yes, I've been there once long ago (which means that I don't remember >much about it, but since not many HK'ers post here I thought I would >answer anyway).
