You may remember that during our Singapore trip last year, I barely got to go around and spend quality shopping time for myself :D . I (and Gats) knew that with a toddler in tow, shopping will never be the same again :lol: (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:

1. Citygate Outlets

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 ~ :D
  • 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 :D ), but we were able to take a couple of pictures of Manu with his Chinese playmates :) at one of the coffee shops.

2. Louis Vuitton

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? :D

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 :D
