Ah, parenting life! The pace of living in this city never seems to slow down, what with chaperoning your children around, juggling work, school and playdate schedules, cooking for your always-ravenous kids and more. Even though many of us have childcare and household support from our lovely domestic helpers, more often than not, we find that a quick grocery run means that we’re lugging our body weight in shopping bags (reusable, of course!) up hilly Hong Kong streets! If that doesn’t sound like too much fun, it’s time you discovered the joy of grocery shopping online. We’ve sorted out the places that will deliver everything from baked goods to fresh produce. All you’ll need to do now is select the delivery dates!

Eat The Kiwi
Want to enjoy the best of what New Zealand has to offer at your home in Hong Kong? Eat the Kiwi offers fresh, quality produce – everything from fruit, vegetables, meat and seafood (both fresh and frozen) to cheese, yoghurt, snacks, pies and meal kits (complete with detailed recipes = dinner sorted!). This award-winning online grocer is also passionate about sustainability. Its seafood is sourced from sustainable-certified fisheries; all of its meat is steroid, hormone and antibiotic-free. The packaging comes with a 99% biodegradable wrapping known as Wool Cool. This has an outer layer made of one of the few recyclable plastics in Hong Kong and an inner layer made of New Zealand sheep’s wool that can be added to landfill – becoming soil with valuable nitrates over time.
Eat the Kiwi works directly with producers in New Zealand to make sure you receive high-quality food at great prices. Once you’ve sampled the award-winning high-quality products, you could also opt for a regular subscription service for your most preferred items.
Use discount code SASSY15 for 15% off one order. Valid until Friday, 31 December 2021.
