Hong Kong Market, Birmingham

Today we paid a short visit to Hong Kong Market in Birmingham city centre. As we arrive we can see the lion dances preparing, loads of chatter and feels very lively.

Our first stop was a business we have followed and have been eyeing up. Ma Kee selling award winning Hong Kong styled drinks. We ended up getting HK style milk tea and red bean drink! I enjoyed tasting other flavours as well, such as water cress honey! It was very refreshing! The next stop was a UK Dried Seafood supplier, we are happy to know that such businesses exist now and we don't have to go all the way back to get premium supplies. We love a good dried scallop!

As we stroll down, I spot an artist Nien Clay Design selling jewelery such as clay earrings in chinese inspirated shapes and crane origami. Further along I see the classic blue, white, red bag pattern but it has been recreated as a tissue holder and pouch! There are other classic HK patterns too by HKG Art and Design.

After looking at other stores my eyes are immediately drawn to Rolling Bakery, I quickly grabbed their matcha and hojicha mochi bun! This
