The “Reverse Errand” trend (ordering from Shenzhen to Hong Kong) is booming. Every day, I receive requests for trending snacks. Yesterday, Ms. Chan contacted me via WeChat, wanting ZAKUZAKU Puffs from the MixC Mall in Shenzhen.
What seemed like a routine Shenzhen-Hong Kong food delivery turned into a real adventure.
The Mystery of the “Missing” Store
Everything was set: Tiramisu, Chestnut, Strawberry, and Rich 2.0 puffs. On the morning of the delivery, Ms. Chan even added an order of Xishi Candied Haws (Tanghulu). We are always happy to accommodate these “on-the-way” additions.
Then came the surprise.
Our runner arrived at the MixC Mall in Luohu on time. She followed the address on Dazhong Dianping but couldn’t find the ZAKUZAKU sign. After asking neighboring shopkeepers, she discovered the store had closed down permanently.
I immediately synced with Ms. Chan. These “expect the unexpected” moments are part of the job. Thankfully, she was very understanding and chose some alternative treats. With the Candied Haws in hand, the mission continued.
The Last Mile: Yuen Long Village
The delivery address was quite remote—Yuen Kong Village in Kam Tin, Yuen Long.
Many delivery companies hesitate when they hear “Village House” because these areas are often not accessible by MTR. You have to rely on green minibuses. Our runner was racing against time to meet the 3:30 PM deadline.
However, minibuses to Yuen Kong Village are infrequent and strictly enforce no-standing rules. She had to wait as two full buses passed her by. Despite the slight delay, when she finally handed over the snacks, Ms. Chan was incredibly gracious, sending us a beautiful photo of her treats later.
