there is a new UK supermarket under the "Manulife" insurance building in Causeway Bay (where you see the shining LV shop and the COVA italian restaurant...)

the basement supermarket also has great sushi!!

I was just wondering if flyroy ever found the canned Rotel tomatoes or if I'm going to have to fill my suitcase with them on my next trip back from home. I NEED Rotel tomatoes. Adding chilies to regular diced tomatoes just doesn't cut it.

I've been told that Mitsukoshi will customise sheets if you buy them there. Also, you can take your existing sheets to any seamstress (in little shopping centres or hole-in-the-wall shops all over HK) and have them extended. The second option will result in mismatched extensions, but as they will be tucked under the bed it shouldn't matter.

It should be cheap. I'd expect something in the vicinity of HKD100 max.

Another option is to go to Shenzhen to have completely custom sheets done in the fabric of your choice.

Alas, too late to ask Mitsukoshi now - its closing-down sale was in the news recently.

if you dont mind the trek..

Kowloon Saeng is full of lil Thai supermarkets and the like.. they sell fresh Thai style chillies, and green chillis being one they use most, but warning, very potent. Best chillis ever though! Hope it helps

Kowloon Saeng???
sorry, i've been here 11+ years and i've never heard of this area...where is it?

[discobay]

I think he/she meant Kowloon City.

[carang]

ahhh... that makes sense...
i would have written...either kowloon city or...
kowloon sing...

[discobay]

Perhaps it would be better to write it as gau lung sing?

[carang]

or gow long sing?
