The Find: Monkey sauce box with banana spoon inside
Final Price: $10 for 2
Where Found: Jusco $10 Plaza, Causeway Bay

The Japanese are often regarded as the most creative and attentive people in the world in that they take care of every minutiae of daily life. Don’t think so? Then check out this monkey-shaped sauce box and banana spoon. Take a lunch box to the office with crispy deep-fried chicken wings, French fries and ketchup and you’ve got a problem. Put the sauce on the food in the morning and everything will be soft and soggy by lunchtime. Now, however, you can put your ketchup, peanut butter... in the cute sauce box separate from the food, and stop worrying about a lunch that otherwise looks and acts like dejected wet cardboard. And with a pack of two sauce boxes, you can even take care of both breakfast and lunch.


Hung Hom is an eyeful, but pretty much everything you see is reclaimed. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University – a mass of red stretching across the view – boasts the most students (a whopping 16,500) of any university in Hong Kong. And just a single look will easily identify the entrance of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel that fills daily with both private and public vehicles (a bus terminal is there for your convenience). Yet be warned – if you go down there, you won’t be breathing oxygen! Nor can you miss the jumbo inverted pyramid commonly known as the Hong Kong Coliseum, though it literally translates as the ‘Sports Stadium’. Ironically, the venue holds more Cantopop star concerts than sporting events. For your shopping concerns, if the stores in the KCR Station don’t satisfy, take a short walk down to the colourful, glamorous, (reclaimed!) Wonderful Worlds of Whampoa where you can eat, shop, and be entertained simultaneously.
