On this trip I found two (2) really quality U.S. caliber Super Markets. One in Pondicherry and one in Kowloon.
I will start with the one in Pondicherry .. then I will move to the one in Hong Kong.

Below are four photos of Nilgiris Super Market in 'Pondi' to assist your memories. Sigh! It seems like I was 'just-here'!
By-the-way .. Nilgiris' Super Market's name is associated with the Nilgiri Hills (Mountains) in the Western part of Tamil Nadu state in Southern India.
Ring any bells? OOTY and COONOOR are both located in the Nilgiri mountain region. Food and produce and dairy products from Bangalore were carried to OOTY and COONOOR to eventually (in the year 1905 I believe) open a Nilgiris Super Market in those cities.
Now moving forward to HONG KONG and specifically to Kowloon across Victoria Harbor from Hong Kong and my visit from May 13th to May 20th.
Below are photos of .. The MARKET PLACE Super Market in Kowloon. And .. you will see .. it is very comparable to our super markets.
Gullible! YOU are so naughty teaching me these tricks!
On the very lower bottom right of the below photo you can see the five (5) litre quantity bottles of drinking water. In Hong Kong the five (5) litre bottles of water are the-only-way to purchase your drinking water IF you want to save money. They sell the FIVE (5) litre bottles of water for $18 HK ($2.32 US). Some stores sell one-and-one-half (1.5 litre) bottles of water for $21 HK ($2.71 US)! Outrageous huh!
Walk straight ahead in the above photo and see a close-up of that area in the photo below.
It really is a SUPER MARKET !
