Hello everyone,

I have a quick question about drinking water in Hong Kong. I just moved into my apartment and have been buying bottled water for drinking. I have a water dispenser I think that is what they are called.. the ones that you put a gallon of water on and it can heat or cool the water for you.

What brand of water is good to buy here? and how do I contact them?

Also, is it safe to drink tap water or use it for cooking?

Thanks,
Mimi

Mimi,

We actually boil the tap water before drinking it. Fine to use for cooking.

Paul,...I'm not sure if Coca-cola (bottlers of Bonaqua) will take too kindly on your opinion of their water.

But to answer the question, the water is actually safe to drink, according to the Water Supplies Department of the HKSAR Govt.

Whenever people start pontificating on Coke with a hyphen I have this irresistable urge to reach for my silver water slipper, and have a swig of cool refreshing Fiji Natural Artesian Water, available in better stores, or online.

Think sophistication, think evian

after you have completed disinfecting your mouth, a tumbler of Fiji Natural Artesian perhaps?

If you waste money on Evian then you are what Evian is backwards.

Oh... that's it....

*switches brands*

only because i'm not keen on endorsing some companies in world domination...

*cough* micro$oft *cough*

maybe i'll try "Fiji Natural Artesian" or China Water... it taste sweet!

Max! if you like to drink the tap water, go ahead!
I ain't stopping you! I'm sure it's drinkable. But i like to stick with the majority, who at least boils it.
