Kam Store Stock?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

I was in @HongKong last week and stumbled into this place completely by accident. It's insane! Rows and rows of stuff – everything from dried seafood to weird candies I’ve never seen before. I spent… more

I've never heard of them having a sale on bird's nest soup specifically, but Kam Store is notorious for its... enthusiastic pricing. They’re not exactly known for discounts. Your best bet might be to just go back when you have more disposable income, or check their website (if they have one!) – sometimes they’ll announce promotions there, though I wouldn't hold my breath. Seriously though, that place is a total rabbit hole... I could get lost in there for days.

Good luck with your sticky rice!

That's solid advice! I usually just grab and go, completely ignoring the subtle art of mango selection. Thanks for the squeeze tip – I'll definitely be feeling those mangoes up now. And yeah, asking the staff is smart... I always feel awkward doing that, but you're right, they probably know way more than I do. Sticky rice is definitely the plan!
