Every dental health-conscious mom's nightmare. Everybody else's sweet dream.

Two things that keep Halloween popular every year:

1. Candy for the kiddies
2. Excuse for grown-up male kiddies to dress up as women

For the former, here's a gallery of some of our favorite candy. It's all the good, sweet stuff that we Hong Kongers grew up with and never grew out of.

Buy old school Hong Kong candy at any Welcome and Park 'n' Shop, or at a traditional dried goods store along Des Voeux Road in Sheung Wan.
