It can be nerve-racking trying to navigate these exotic and oftentimes expensive ingredients. If you’re not sure where to begin, go for the dried scallops, which add umami to soups and simple stir-fries. As for tonics, bird’s nest is eaten as a beauty food and is also said to improve immunity and overall health.

Traditional Chinese medicine still plays an important role in the health of the Hong Kong population.

In the lead-up to Chinese New Year, which is usually during January or February, locals flock to the Flower Market to pick out auspicious plants for their homes to welcome the new lunar year.

This beloved market in Mong Kok specialises in a truly unique ware: goldfish. Aside from being ideal pets for the cramped confines of Hong Kong apartments, goldfish are regarded as bringers of prosperity according to feng shui practitioners. Stores along the street in the Goldfish Market offer many varieties of fish, from common goldfish to more exotic tropical species. You’ll also find water tanks and plants and accessories to spruce them up, as well as a handful of stores that sell reptiles, hamsters and other apartment-friendly creatures.

Even if you don’t plan on adopting an aquatic pet, the market is still a spectacular sight to behold, especially since the fishes are proudly displayed in tanks or in take-home baggies that make for a colourful aquarium.

When taking photos at the Goldfish Market, please be mindful not to interfere with the shops’ operations. Remember not to use flash to avoid startling the fish and other animals.

4worldlovers:
It’s a really cool place! Selling various kinds of animals. Not only goldfish, but also some dogs, cats and reptiles can be find in the stores here.

You can also buy turtoise/turtle in this area. We always buy food for our 2 tortoise in pakwo aquarium. We also buy some goldfish and plants for aquarium. Lots of choices. It's a happy place for those who love pets. There's some petshop here for dogs and cats.

It’s barking mad (dog pun intended) but I love visiting as the sheer density of pet stores guarantees that you can find what you’re looking for. In my case a very particular foodstuff that I am sure would be a special order pretty much anywhere else in the world. Totally manic but all the more fun for it all.
