This speciality market stocks a small, but very-good selection of fruits, nuts, pasta, seafood, cheeses, and coffee. Their selection of chocolate bars is limited to Michel Cluizel, Valhrona, Dolfin, and the Agata and Valentina house brand made by the same company that makes the Gourmet Garage house brand (same wrapper).
This unique HK-based candy shop features a wide variety of sweet, and salty snacks, or "munchies" available mix-and-match by the pound. Although the product selection is limited--compared to the stores in Hong Kong--one can still find over a dozen kinds each of preserved plums, gingers, fruit, dried fish jerkys, and sweets. There is not much chocolate, however.

Chocolates, coffee, and (syrupy) ice cream made using all-natural ingredients. Despite the name, Australian Homemade has little to do with the Down under except for the aboriginal designs on the back of the chocolates, and the Aussie background of its company founder. The company is actually Dutch with shops all over Europe, and the chocolates are made in Amsterdam (ice cream made locally). The chocolate selection includes special sports versions incorporating natural herbs like marapuama, or guarana (both stimulants); and kava kava, a relaxant. Each large piece of chocolates are $1.85-$1.95, not incl. tax which rounds to $2.00.
Australian Homemade is now being offered at Macy's The Cellar.
