Online shops in HK with good quality and reasonably priced meat and fish
Fresh Meat
I have been buying fresh meat in Hong Kong for many years and am frequently disappointed by the quality and taste. Can someone explain why the fresh meat (eg chilled Tenderloin, Fillet, Ribeye) is so tasteless? Even the prime cuts sold at top end restaurants and super markets (Great Olivers CitySuper etc) tend to lack flavour and taste (compared to US EU Aus NZ meat) and are incredibly expensive
Frozen Meat
Interestingly the frozen meat from specialist frozen meat shops (not super markets) seems to retain its flavour better plus is $100- $300 per kilo for top end cuts (rather than $500-$1500 per kilo). I assume this is because it is flash frozen (snap frozen) at source.
Given you can buy a top end cut of frozen meat (Tenderloin, Fillet, Ribeye) for 1/3 price of an average cut of fresh beef (round Chunk etc) it is hard to argue with. Most districts on HK Island have specialist Chinese frozen meat shops and are worth checking out (even though some have limited English). There are also online shops selling frozen meat.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions post below, here are the places I use with English language sites:
Meat.Com.HK (Hing Lung Foods)
Very good quality frozen meat and fish (Beef, pork Lamb Chicken Fish). Top end Beef (Tenderloin, Fillet, Ribeye) ranges from $150-$300 per kilo with online delivery. If you go to the retail shop in Sheung Wan you can select your cut and and butcher will slice fillet to order (eg slice 1kg fillet into 1”+ cuts of steak). If you sign up as a member you will also get a 10%+ discount for picking up. I tend to buy the best cuts of NZ Aus US meat as some of the cheaper cuts (Brazilian / Sth American) was tough and chewy
