Shopping experience…read more.. Retail therapy is my best relief and here in Hong Kong's Fa Yuen Street Market it definitely was something that I'm so glad to have visited. Nadine and so proudly figured out to navigate our way to this huge area that seem to have the dedicated space for this market which took the whole street. Walking through as I browsed each vendor there seem to be the same of many items which made me confused if it was the same seller or different though some of the prices and various other items differ I wasn't the greatest at bargaining though it was easier if it was just out of curiosity versus a want it was really fun looking through the various items with everything from household to electronics, towels and plushies. Taking the train was definitely fun and easy just find your way to Log Kok Station and there are signs to guide you the way...happy shopping! Thank you!

Fa Yuen Street is another "Night Market" shopping experience…read more The street is blocked off from vehicular traffic and both sides of the street are lined with vendors that block the regular brick and mortar shops along the way. That means there's four rows of shopping! The outdoor ambiance was fine for an October day. The sky was a bit overcast, so we were not burning in the heat. Some stalls weren't set up by noon, but most were open. Vendors didn't bargain much since prices were quite reasonable. Example: I got a pair of socks for 10 HK$ while I got another pair for 12 HK$ at a different place yesterday. Yeah, it's only a few cents difference, but hey... it's the principle. Fa Yuen Street had more fruits, towels, and household goods as compared with the Ladies Market. I saw pillows, curtains, chair covers, blankets, and scissors here. Other merchandise included luggage, purses, tote bags, reusable bags, Thai-style clothing, umbrellas, sunglasses, socks, underwear, and more! For us, it was worth the trek over. We got off at the Mong Kok Station... same one we used for the Ladies Market!

Log-On is a great store to kill time in. They call themselves a lifestyle store with trendy…read moreproducts that includes stationery, gadgets, photography accessories, fashion, travel accessories, beauty and wellness products. Currently there are 13 LOG-ON stores in Hong Kong and this location is conveniently located inside the iSquare building in Tsim Sha Tsui. The store is clean and organized and there are plenty of employees around but do not pressure you to buy. I came into the store to just browse, but walked out with some beauty products that I think are slightly cheaper than what you might find at Sasa. It's a great store to find small gift items and greeting cards, they even offer snacks and drinks from around the world.

Cutest store EVARRR. I'm so sad we don't have one of these in America. There were so many wonderful…read moreand useful things, it was hard to choose what I needed to make room for in my bags. Also, be aware that not all Log-On stores are the same. Like any chain store, some have more loot than others. We went to one and thought it couldn't get any better, then went to another one and were even more wowed. This location was WOW number one. Aside from having things like pens, backpacks, phone cases and cameras, it also has somewhat of a drug store. They even have supplies for work/lunches for adults and children. My friend likened it to a smaller, cuter, better Target. Just GO!

UK brand Accessorize is a great place to buy, well, accessories. The styles are cute and trendy,…read moreand although is targeted towards the younger people, there are certainly some things fit for the mature audience too. There are no shortages of Accessorizes in HK - I think the first one I ever went to was in the basement of Times Square. It had since closed, but there are stores all over HK. It seems that almost every major mall has an Accessorize, such as IFC, Langham Place and New Town Plaza. Accessorize mainly specializes in jewelry. They have a wide selection of earrings, necklaces and bracelets and they're all adorable. They don't skimp on the quality either. They have a lot of value packs of earrings which are really worth it - eight or ten pairs of earrings for about $100! Their statement necklaces are gorgeous and would really add that much needed pop of color to an otherwise plain outfit. Accessorize does bags and clutches as well. You'll find anything from backpacks to shoulder bags to bags that are fit to bring to work, and they're all really well designed! Accessorize is a really popular shop because the stuff is pretty affordable to begin with, and they very often have sales. And their sales are great - nothing beats their end-of-season sales, where stuff is marked 50% or even 70% off! Once, I bought a pair of earrings that were 50% off, and when I returned a week later, that pair was now 70% off, making it only $27! I couldn't resist - without hesitating, I bought that exact same pair again but in gold instead of silver. In my experience, the 'sterling silver' jewelry - their more expensive line, and supposedly higher quality too - never goes on sale though. If you've never set foot in Accessorize (which, if you're a girl, is very hard to believe!), then it's time to make a change to that. And now's a perfect time too - the store at New Town Plaza has some jewelry going at 70% off right now. You know what they say - there's no better time than the present!

I'm sad I only discovered Kwai Chung Plaza in recent years. It's a hub for cheap buys and…read moreaffordable food. The third floor of the complex is basically an indoor night market (but opened during the day time). There are so many food stalls, with more variety than I could imagine. They have Taiwanese sausages, Japanese takoyaki, local HK delicacies, and more. Aside from food stalls, they also have actual sit-down restaurants, too. I was not that hungry when I came, so I couldn't indulge in as many foods as I wanted to. If I had more stomach space, I would have definitely fit in some of the many bevs on offer and maybe even ice cream. But they don't only have food. They also sell random products that you could typically find in residential HK malls like clothes, accessories, cute merch, etc. I found some really adorable Sanrio red envelopes here! This place is kind of like a maze and it's easy to get lost in. My sister and I separated here and we ended up going home without the other because that was easier than trying to find each other again. The third floor has some benches circling the escalators area, but they're usually all taken. I was really tired from walking, and I would've stayed longer if I was able to sit and rest for a small break. The one star off is for the lack of sitting areas, confusing layout, and honestly could use a facelift. I would come back again to do a proper food crawl, but I'll probably bring my portable chair.

Old school, but great. As a bubble child who is allergic to everything, it is very difficult to…read morefind places that I can buy jewelry from that i'm not allergic to. I've tried Etsy, Amazon, Claires, Sally's, etc. Thankfully, Man On Hong Silverwares exists. I come here every time I go to Hong Kong, in fact, whenever I have friends or relatives visiting, I ask them to come here for me to see what new products are available. Their products are inexpensive and there's a lot to choose from! Man On Hong creates quality silver and has been around for many decades. The inside of the shop may not look clean or modern, however, I promise you that if you buy from them, you won't be disappointed. Their silver is very pure and you can even custom order things. Back when thick chain bracelets were popular, I got my name engraved on a heart shaped charm. I've gotten tons of rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets here. Some of their earrings and necklace charms look a bit odd, but just look around. There's something for everyone here. There's cute little stacking rings and nice fancy looking ones too. I like the quality and consistency of this place.
