After a recent stay in a public hospital I would like to show my appreciation to the doctors and nurses. I'll write a thank you card of course but are they allowed to accept chocolates or biscuits?

Thanks Cara, was just wondering in case they are not allowed due to anti-graft laws or something. I'll take them something tomorrow.

I don't think that iapplies to all the locals as in my husbands office they have a communual table they put sweets ,biscuits and chocolates on after being on holidays and the locals snap them up.

I think that are the people you live with don't like cookies, its a bit of a generalization to say that all Chinese people don't like them and wouldn't be interested to receive them as gifts. That is definitely not true.

Goofie and F355 you obviously haven't been in HK long enough to see the amazing amount of tinned butter cookies being sold during Chinese New Year. These "Demark" cookies are very popular and I am sure the non-Chinese market would not be big enough to purchase all these cookies. By sheer logic they are being bought by 'locals'.
Don't generalise. If you really don't know it is better not to write a comment.
However Goofie, your comment on a fruit basket is a great idea.

Well put it this way... we do like cookies but might not be the same ones loved by westerners. When I say something is really nice, my husband wl say it tastes like cardboard. When he says something is yummy, then usually it is too sweet for me even to swallow. So cookies are fine but make sure you get them from local shops like Kei Wah (wrong spelling may be) etc.
