Hong Kong vs UK supermarket Self-Checkout

I love the supermarket but not the queues and now they have self-Checkout counters which is really good because you can do it yourself.
I have tried the self-check counter in UK and HK.

The HK self-checkout is simple and almost idiot proof but it allows people to steal if they really wanted to by accidentally not scanning an item, whereas in UK, your shopping is weighed before scanning so that the scanned weight should match the weight before.

In terms of payment, UK is better because you can pay by card, cash, coupons and even scan offers/discounts whereas Hong Kong only allows credit card and octopus.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Idiot proof Hong Kong Self-checkout counter:

Before you start, make sure your octopus has enough credit or pay by credit card which I haven’t tried yet.
I am not sure if there is an English interface but I couldn’t find it but basically you touch the screen to activate it.

Press start

Scan your item

Once all items have been scanned press the ENTER button

Choose form of payment

I chose the octopus, so you basically tap the octopus and the receipt will be printed out you are ready to go with your goods..

Accepts card, cash and coupons!!

Khatta Meetha by Haldiram’s

I love Bombay mixes so my colleague got me this from India.

It is a sweet and sour mix hence the name Khatta Meetha and it contains rice flakes, chick peas, peanuts, sago, red lentils.

The curry flavour is there without being too spicy with a delicious sweet and sour taste just like Chinese sweet and sour and the mix is extremely light and not oily compared to other brands.
It comes in a good packaging that is well labelled with nutrition values and ingredients.

Tottori pink curry

Finally tried the pink curry which was on the news last year, see link below.
Basically it is vegetarian and tastes like Japanese curry with a good degree of spiciness.

Kellogg’s FROSTED S'MORES poptarts

I don’t have the box but this was a Kellogg’s FROSTED S'MORES poptart filled with chocolate and marshmallow.
The poptart was not that sweet to start off with but then it got cloyingly sweet.

Frito-lay Rich Giza Spicy Grill chicken snacks

These snacks look like mini crinkle cut squares and Shreddies cornflakes.
As for the taste, it had a strong black pepper taste and they were quite salty.

Pretzel bacon potato sticks by Golden Fuji

Seemingly Japanese but they are a brand from China.

Sir Charles fruit Mix gelee

Tried these fruit jellies which were very sugary and sweet.
The only flavours I liked were strawberry.
