Hong Kong Hit by Panic Buying, Indomie Rushed Off Shelves

A wave of panic buying swept across several supermarkets in Hong Kong on Monday (September 22, 2025), ahead of the approaching Typhoon Ragasa. Shoppers flocked to stock up on essentials, with Indomie instant noodles emerging as one of the most sought-after items.
Weather conditions are expected to worsen starting Tuesday, with forecasts warning of strong winds and potential storms striking densely populated urban areas. Residents rushed to secure food supplies in anticipation of disrupted transportation and distribution networks.
Typhoon Ragasa is projected to bring powerful gusts both offshore and in highland areas, raising concerns about significant disruptions to daily life in Hong Kong over the next two days.
As a precaution, Hong Kong International Airport is scheduled to suspend all passenger flights for 36 hours beginning Tuesday night. Airport authorities stated they are closely monitoring the situation and have prepared emergency measures, though no official announcement has been made regarding a full closure of the facility.
