Hong Kong: Shopping Paradise

Assalamualaikum and Ni Hao buddies!

I bet you guys have already know travelling tips; what should you bring, what to wear, what to EAT and so on from the previous posts. Am I right? But if you haven't read them, feel free to scroll down the blog to catch up about what we've discussed before. Or...just click one of the links, Don't Be Travelling Zombie and Top 5 Best Food!

So, are you guys all prepared? I think it's time that we really travel to one of our dream cities, which is *drum rolls

HONG KONG!

Oh! I'm super excited!

Well, the first thing you need to do is, of course, to book the tickets. Make sure to know how much days will you spend there, the hotel room, and also check out the places that you want to visit during your trip. You don't want to go to HK and spend like half of the vaca searching the place or even deciding where to go! Oh no no! That's not the Escapers way! LOL

*Extra tip: Also if you are a shopping maniac (like me! lols), please please make sure you have enough baggage check. Just pay around $20 - $50 more instead of paying hundreds more went you really go overweight!

After the touchdown, you might want to go straight to Handy Hong Kong's counter at the airport arrival hall.

What is Handy?

"Handy is the first fully customizable smartphone for hotels.

Handy provides you unlimited internet, local and international calls, hotel information and informative city guide content."

Repeat: HAVE TO!

ARGYLE CENTRE: Shopping Spree!

cr: Trip Advisor

Address: No.688 Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China

Directions: Mongkok MTR, Exit D2

Argyle Centre is famously known by its floors and floors of DIRT CHEAP clothes and handicrafts! It is always crowded with people. Better if you go at night as there are less people. It's more convenient to shop without having to push people etc. It's sometime irritating and might just blow out your shopping mood.

FOREVER 21: Another shopping spree

View at night. Still so many people!

Address: 19 Jardine's Bazaar, Causeway Bay

Opening Hours: 10am to 1am

Direction: Causeway Bay MTR Exit F

Sorry it's a shopping place again. I can't contain myself from inserting another must-go shopping spot in HK. LOLS! The Forever 21 outlet in Hong Kong have 6 stories at Causeway Bay. Yes its really HUGE! Also, there is a whole level dedicated only to accessories and shoes gals!

Come on! Book your tickets now! And don't worry about getting lost to find it cause it is right outside the MTR exit.

Happy shopping! >,<

Well, the pictures explain everything. Ocean Park is a theme park. They have cable cars and sea creatures. And it's fun there! I think you might spend a whole day to play all those stuffs there. LOL Also, Ocean Park is a HUGE place! You better have your flats on!

Australia Dairy Company: FOOD!

cr: Google Image

Address: G/F 47-49 Parkes Street, Jordan
Direction: Jordan MTR, Exit C2
Opening hours: Mon - Sun (closed on Thurs): 7:30am to 11pm

No trip to Hong Kong would be perfect without a visit to Australia Dairy Company. It's actually have nothing related to Australia and whatnot. It is a restaurant that is overly famous because of its scrumptious egg and milk-based products. Particularly, scrambled egg sandwiches and steamed milk pudding are their signature dishes. Well-known by its notoriously rude but extremely service, you'll be given your food as soon as you sit on your table and expected to eat and leave.

So, there you go. Some of the places you can visit during your trip to Hong Kong. Any suggestions or comments, feel free to drop it below.

See you soon, Escapers! ^^
