Kong Hing Supermarket

My dad will be shopping here when we go in May! My husband and I will be bringing our 9 month old down there for her first time! (We've been down many times) I was just wondering if they have the baby food and diapers we use so I know what I have to buy up here! AND is it worth it!?!?! How exp are they!?

We use Gerber Stage 2 fuits and veggies and pampers cruisers stage 3! I would pack them but I am afraid it will take up too much room in the suitcases!?!?
Any tips/suggestions!?!?

Ling and Sons have some of their products listed on line, but not all. The drug store down town had a good diaper varity also.

Have a great time.
We brought our granddaughter when she 7 and 13 months old. She had a ball and it was fun for us also. We were very agreeable baby sitter.

We shopped at Ling and Sons last year for my 1 year old. Gerber was the in stock food brand (many choices stage 1-3) and we purchased pampers throughout the 10 day stay. Pack light for the baby. Prices were not bad. Depending upon how long you are staying, I can't see bringing that much food or diapers without feeling weighed down in the luggage dept.

We're going back down in June. My son will be two. We will bring enough diapers for the plane ride and them off to the grocery store when we land. Don't woryy. The hardest thing to find was regular cheerios.....

Order the minimal stuff you need on line, and then when you get a chance take a cab to the grocery store. Ling and sons is very resonable, reliable, and has a great asst. cindyo

Kong Hing carries all major brands of diapers and baby food. Pampers, Huggies, gerber... The prices there are also lower than at Ling and Sons. (made some comparisons)

Kong Hing is open on Sundays until 1pm.

The new Kong Fui grocery store (located on Palm Beach Rd.) is open until 8pm on Sundays. They don't have a great selection yet but you can at least pick up a few things that you might need.
