While buying groceries online in Hong Kong may not be as straightforward as in other places, it’s definitely possible to shop for food and ingredients online and have them delivered – and it’s ideal for right now, with new coronavirus restrictions in place from Wednesday 15 July making in-restaurant dining a little trickier.
To get your grocery goodies, you may need to order from a few sources to get everything you require, but that can be part of the fun. Here, we round up some of our favourite resources for buying groceries online and organising fruit and veg delivery. That pantry will be full in no time!
