shopping in hongkong

Flower Street 花园街 hua yuan (fa yuen in cantonese).

open in the late morning to evening. Don't visit it at night. 

Although you cant do much bargaining here, the price is cheaper than ladies market.

There is a lot of shoes store at the sides and the price is cheap, good for people who are not into brands.

There are also stalls selling food and fruits. More interesting than ladies market which is tourist trap and good for people who need more fruits to stay healthy on a trip

I visited two fresh food market in hongkong. One is nelson street (near langham place hotel)

Another one is at Bowrington Road

The rest of the standard ladies market, temple street. There are shopping malls at most of the MTR stops. Tsim Sha Tsui and CAuseway should the most number of them. A lot of new shopping malls opened at TST over the past few years. You can look at the shop directory before deciding which mall to visit. Sasa and Bonjour are good place for cheap cosmetic and toiletries.
Lung Shing Pharmacy 龍城大藥房. 28 Granville Rd Tsim Sha Tsui b2 exit. they have a larger variety than Sasa and Bonjour but the place is very very crowded with locals and foreigners.
I want to visit jusco hkd10 shop when i am in hongkong, is cheaper than daiso. http://www.jusco.com.hk/eng/10_plaza/index_shop.htm

Star avenue. Worth taking a walk as you can enjoy hongkong night scenery for free.

This photo was taken a few years ago.

I was curiously about the turf club culture so I went to take a look. 

Hongkong traditional brand of cosmetics. It is available in singapore but I think is more expensive. They have vending machines at various location selling some of the products. There are also actual shops. However, the packaging is not fanastic so the Lu Shui 花露水 will evaporate but it really smell nice

Christmas in Hongkong a few year back. Last year, they have christmas event which was linked to tiffany and co.This year, it starting on 25 novemember.

Capture on the bus of A21 on the way to the airport.

freebies at hongkong

Free chocolate. 

The cactus is a free gift from Langham place shopping mall for tourist, there have a tourist discount too.

Supermarket in Hongkong

There are lot of 7-11 k-mart and other convenience stores at Hong Kong. When I visited HOng kong last year, I saw a few small supermarkets popping around the TST and mongkok. 

I like to visit supermarket when I travelled because different countries have their different snacks and food. Moreover, the price is usually cheaper and is a good place to get gifts and interesting food.

This supermarket is one of my favourite. It is located at Tung Chung citygate outlet. It is like singapore hypermart. 

Drop by if are visiting citygate at Tung Chung.

Random Hongkong food

Cherikoff

G29 Allied Plaza, 760 Nathan Rd., Prince Edward,

Daily 7am-10:30pm

Their cookies come in a dozen different flavors, crowned with classic toppings like jam, cherry, nuts or chocolate drop, each with a buttery crispiness. 

For a healthier option, try their egg white-only variety, made with sesame and green tea. Try their all-time famous nougats. Besides the original flavour, there are healthier options made with prune and walnut.

Just a random bakery. If you interested in just buying lao po bing or wife's biscuit for your family and packaging is not a major concern. You can try the normal bakeries along the street like along TST or MOngkok. and buy one to try and find one that suit your tastebuds before buying a dozen back. The price is usually a fraction of those branded store. However, remember to bring your own air tight container.

Bought a coupon from valuup.com. Do not remember the actual price, but it was valued for money because it is a place at kowloon with a nice view and ambience. 

The eyebar at isquare. Not sure how pricing without the coupon.

If you spot this card, remember to try hong Kong traditional icecream.

I tried macdonalds too because there have some seasonal stuff not available in singapore. for example, the chocolate puff.

Some random things we ate.

 starbucks, taste the same.

Decided to try out high Tea in Hong Kong.
The high tea is around hk$200 and reservation can be made through email.
The food was not bad.
The interesting fact about this high tea is that they linked up with brands like marc jacobs, chloe and etc to come up. The food will be designed with the brand as the theme, a small gift is given for customers (while stocks last). No worries about the gift as is of high calibre and not some cheapo free gifts.
During the time period I was there, there were giving out this brand known as Qeelin. Although it is not a famous brand, the gift was well made and very beautiful.


Honeymoon Dessert
They have branches in Singapore but I have not tried them out yet.
A lot of branches in Hong Kong. I visited the one at Langham place shopping mall.

The one visited is at the ferry terminal to macau. It is located in the food court. However, some people commented only the wellington is the real one and most delicious one. Will visit the one wellington one day to try it out.





Hongkong fast food MAxim
Sometimes I am just in hurry, because I want to shop. I just drop by Maxim for a meal.
Chinese fast food, standard is not bad. Sometimes the seasonal items are quite good.


Shamrock seafood Restaurant.
Located at Shamrock hotel. Just above jordan station.
The dim sum is slightly above average. This is a traditional teahouse so you see a lot of locals sipping their tea and enjoying dim sum.
The best part about this place is the price.



Spaghetti House
Located all over Hongkong
The food look much better than the taste.
