New to HK, like to start the day with my familiar wheaty friends. Living in mid-levels, working in Kowloon so anywhere in between that sells them would be great.

The local Weetabix tastes different to the Oz Weetbix. The closest I've found (these are so so good) are the organic Weetbix (I think from Canada). I've found it in Oliver's and the Sai Kung Welcome.

Olivers did stock them about two years ago!
They would come in and be sold off the shelf in a few hours.
That is the ONLY place I have ever seen them in Hong Kong. You can get the High Bran Weetbix in Wellcome and Park n shop, but as for the original Sanitarium Weetbix in the pink and blue pack - let me know if you find them!
I used to bring them back from Oz with me but have since weened my children & husband onto weetabix.

You CAN buy NZ Weet Bix at the Focus New Zealand shop in Causeway Bay .. and a lot of other Kiwi treats.

I know this is an old thread but today in welcome in the Gold Coast I bought two packets of sanitarium weetbix!
They are exactly the same (we have already done the taste test) but they have renamed them "bixies" - probably something to do with name registration I expect, but they are ridgy didge.

Well..I did note that there were "light bix" on the shelf as well and they had lower salt and sugar content. Perhaps that is what you bought at olivers. The "Bixies" are identical to the ones we know and love!

I bought some of the Weet-Bix at Focus New Zealand and I have to say I thought that they had a slightly different taste/texture to teh Australian made ones. Will have to see what the 'Bixies' are like. Do they have a country of origin on them?

Ahhh, we dream of Weet Bix. We got some sent over from Oz a couple of months ago at a cost of $40, last time we do that. still seaching... Midwife, where is the Wellcome that you found Bixies? I've never heard of Gold Coast in HK...thanks

I found Bixies in the Wellcome in the Belchers. They are definitely much much closer to the real thing, if not exact, than Weetabix.

Chappell - I saw the shelves in Oliver's stacked with them last week!
TC has given you good Gold Coast directions, but if you are on the island it is probably a bit far for you to come for brecky!

And thanks for that TC, if there are no Bixies at olivers I'll be checking out GC. Ta
