Digestives should be wheaty and sweet with a great golden colour. Janice Leung finds out which to dunk in your tea and which to dump in the bin
 Marks & Spencer Digestives
These deep caramel-coloured biscuits have a smooth, almost shiny top. With larger air pockets, they're light, but very crumbly and shatter easily when transported. They have a rich, wheaty flavour, but may be too sweet for some.
 HK$21, Marks & Spencer, citywide
 Orion Diget
 These biscuits from South Korea defy their small diameter to pack a sweet punch. The inclusion of milk powder, sadly, gives them a slightly sickly, processed dairy flavour. The fine crumbs make these more of a rich tea biscuit than a digestive.
 HK$11.90, ParknShop Superstore, citywide
 Bisca Digestive
 While the packaging proudly claims these are made by purveyors to the royal Danish court, on this evidence the monarchy's interpretation of a digestive is a brittle, pale biscuit with only a hint of wheat flavour. They also feel pasty on the tongue. HK$12.90, ParknShop Superstore, citywide
 McVitie's Digestive
 Neither too dry nor too sweet, with an even golden tone, this is the most balanced sample - no surprise, given the brand is synonymous with the biscuit. They seem particularly challenged by the Hong Kong humidity, however, going soft very quickly. HK$21.90, Wellcome, citywide
 Essential Waitrose Digestive Biscuits
 The heavier wheat flavour makes these a winner on the taste front, but the overly dry and unpleasant pale yellow crumbs make the overall experience quite average. Looks aside, the dryness could be remedied by a dunk in a cup of tea.
 HK$16.90, ParknShop, citywide
