I made sure that I get to spend at least one day of shopping during our trip to Hong Kong. You may remember that during our Singapore trip last year, I barely got to go around and spend quality shopping time for myself 
. I (and Gats) knew that with a toddler in tow, shopping will never be the same again 
(since in earlier travels, both of us get to spend all of our vacation days shopping). So during this trip, I planned ahead and set my sight on these three targets:
20 Tat Tung Road, Tung Chung, Lantau
It was a close friend who told me about this mall, where everything is marked down by at least 3o% off. The discount wasn’t the convincing factor for me (I don’t easily get swayed by sales you see) — it was the shops that made me want to take the 30 minute MTR ride and chance upon the goodies. Here are some of the stores located inside the mall:
- Burberry
- Calvin Klein Jeans
- Bally Outlet
- Armani Exchange Outlet
- Adidas Factory Outlet
- Kate Spade
- Lanvin
- Michael’s ~ Thomas and Friends ~
- Nike Factory Outlet
- Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store
- PUMA Outlet
I must admit that some of the items in some of the shops were just okay (these are outlet stores so what do you expect?), but we were able to buy a few items from Polo Ralph Lauren, Puma (porma shoes for Manu 
), Adidas, Michael’s (of course, we wouldn’t pass the chance to buy discounted Thomas and Friends stuff) that I was happy about.
I wasn’t able to take pictures while we were at Citygate (syempre, busy mag-ikot ), but we were able to take a couple of pictures of Manu with his Chinese playmates at one of the coffee shops.

Harbour City, Canton Road, Kowloon
Who would pass a chance to drop by the 2nd largest LV store in the world? Certainly not me! I was finally able to buy that Damier Speedy I’ve been meaning to purchase since 5 months ago. The other bag was not available so I was just able to bring home one. I’ve been lugging this bag around a few days after I got it so no need to take a pic, you’ve seen it on my previous posts 
3. H&M
Queen’s Road 68, Central
Two hours inside and I was nowhere near fitting my clothes. Need I explain further?

I absolutely love love love this store! The items were very chic, and very affordable (read: a cool green men’s shirt for just PhP250!) I went crazy over the kids and mens department (and in fact purchased more items here than the ladies’) like I went gaga over the ladies’ department. This store is an absolute must if you’re shopping at Hong Kong.
*I hear that H&M will soon be coming to Manila. I just hope that prices are comparable to that of Hong Kong’s
