I have once said to myself that if there was a day I was shopping around for cooking utensils- then…read moreI must be getting old. This is true as of now, a few weeks back I found myself looking glass jars for preservatives; that's when I truly realize that I have completed my role from being a twenty-something free man to an early middle aged family man. This is the beginning of my downfall, the end of my wild days- days of suburbia. What has it got to do with the shop? Well, this place very much sells stuff that a family needs- not likes- needs. You will find kitchen items, study essentials, pre packed snacks for kids; all the stuff that you really need if you were to start a family from scratch. Why has it got 5 stars? That's because every time I was instructed by the almighty to find items that I had no interest and no knowledge of finding, I would find it here. Lids for jars of different size? Checked. Cover for the ironing board? Checked. Plastic boxes for organizing stuff at home? Please choose your colour. Its a really convenient place to find stuff like that and its just so good that I don't need to make 10 trips to find them in different places.

This store is originally a Japanese brand of home goods called Daiso. For some reason in Hong Kong…read morethey are known as Jusco Living with more of a focus on home/living goods. I am unsure if this was due to more focused branding. There is a good variety of home goods. My first Daiso experience was in Little Tokyo in LA and I would definitely return. Everything is the same price unless there is a sticker/sign indicating otherwise. I enjoy buying bowls and cooking utensils/ items to change your lifestyle.They have molds for heart shaped sushi rolls, onigiri, and cute bowls and jars. There is a section on grooming/accessories/cleaning/cooking/stationary.... need I go on? It is fun to just peruse the aisles. This particular location is in the basement; we walked around in circles before we were able to locate it. Once you walk inside it is like a wonder of products waiting to be discovered. This chain is basically a 100 YEN store, similar concept to a 99 cents store. However, unlike most 99 cents stores, the product quality is better (with the exception of Dollar tree which does sell some brand name products). I highly recommend going to a location and checking it out.

This retail shop is located in New Town Plaza of Shatin in the New Territories and proves to…read moreattract customers that like the unique products. The shop is filled with trendy products from around the world. I found that the items this store sells are a good mix of local goods and imported goods. The price point is on the higher end but the items are either well crafted or high quality. The service is great and there's almost one person in each department standing there waiting to assist you if need be. The shop has everything including but not limited to household items, kitchen things, beauty supplies, toys and plushies, cameras, small electronics, shoes, umbrellas, bags, fashion, and interesting knickknacks. Just so much to explore! Whether you're looking to get something for yourself or buy a gift, Log-On has a lot to offer.

I…read morewas disappointed after coming here, selecting my items, then proceeding to the checkout where the sales lady told me I couldn't purchase the item I pulled off the shelf because it was apparently "out of stock" (even though there were at least a dozen others on the same shelf). She sent another sales associate to check and see if there was another one mark to sell, but she came back empty handed. I ended up going back out on the floor myself and finding it easily behind some other products. Disappointing that I could provide better service myself than their sales floor staff could.

A big departure from Hong Kong's excessively cutesy stationery and homegoods is Muji, whose…read moreselection of lifestyle goods is aggressively no-frills. The pens and notebooks are wonderful and are mainstays in my collection. The apparel, though boring and sometimes shapeless, is well-constructed and occasionally yields a few good basics such as cotton knit button-downs and lightweight down vests. Overrated: The packaged food is extremely overrated; many offerings taste how they look (no personality). While they have a large selection of beauty products, the quality is lackluster (nail polish particularly disappointing, as well as creams that leave a sticky residue). You are better off with other brands. Other things: The Harbour City store is overrun by throngs of tourists. Muji tends to discontinue items without advance notice (which is annoying since they offer 'staple' products).

This is a huge, historic, and iconic department store that has been in the heart of Kowloon's now…read moreolder shopping district for decades (since 1959 to be exact). It is located very prominently at the intersection of Jordan Road and Kowloon's main commercial artery Nathan Road. Back in 1995, when I lived in Hong Kong for 4 months on a work assignment, this was one of the stores I would occasionally putz around in. And now in 2024, 29 years later, it is virtually the same and it's like having walked through a time warp. It's like the old-fashioned flagship version of Macy's of Hong Kong and a store full of traditional Chinese goods and products, and some of them exotic. What struck me the most, and I recall the same sentiment back in 1995, was the number of staffers they have. It seems there are more of them than customers, and there are a lot of customers in this 5 story (plus fully stocked basement) store! Some practices are still antiquated. For example, the sister-in-law wanted to buy some dry goods in the basement, and there was an advertised 20% off promotion. To get the promotion, she had to go up to a clerk on the 5th floor to get her receipt hand-stamped. Then she returned to the basement to complete the transaction. It all took maybe 20 minutes, but it did allow us to use their interestingly tiny and slow elevator. As a tourist, it's worth a walk-through just to say you've seen the store and the surrounding historic Nathan Road shopping area.

Growing up and spending summers in Hong Kong, you can imagine how HOT and humid it would be…read more Turning on the air conditioner was a luxury (more often than not, the fan would be running all day long instead). To combat the heat at night, I cherished the cotton weave breathable blankets that you could only buy in Hong Kong. When I got older, I tried finding one in the states (specifically, NYC Chinatown), but to no avail. So, I would ask my Uncle to help me get one whenever he went back for a visit. Well, this store, Yue Hwa, still has these special blankets for sale. Even though I have 3 of them, I just couldn't help buy another. This store is huge, and I haven't had the time to really browse properly, but I really like what I've seen so far. You can really find some traditional things here, but it can be on the expensive side.

All you need to know about Aeon is their Supermarket - Food Hall!…read more You will find groceries imported from all the prefectures of Japan. Everything under one roof! That's how awesome it is! Aside from Japanese items, you can also shop all the produces from around the World! How about some D24 durian?! They even have LIVE Australian Lobsters available. Mind Blown! You might not able to find some special European import truffle or balsamic oil but I am just happy to shop here everyday! The other floor has more household products which I found them A-OK but did not wow me. For more selection, I suggest going to CSB or other bigger shopping centres. The new Japanese skin care selection on the 2nd floor though quite promising!

An extensive supermarket, and pretty much anything else you could be looking for from TVs to…read morechopsticks, slow cookers to gold jewlrey or suitcases to pillows - this place probably has it and trading cards to spare. Probably best avoided on special 'festival' days (special shopping days for cardholders), but hard to know what those are until you rock up - and then can't move without jostling someone! The crush usually isn't so bad on the upper floors, ie away from the actual supermarket, so if you do get caught - my advice is 'in, up, out' as quickly as feasible.

Wonderful dispensary to get your household goods and cosmetic beauty supply. This is indeed a…read morepopular place very well known for its everyday low prices. They do not have any other stores, just this one. With it being in this location, makes it very popular for those crossing the border trying to get deals. There are indeed deals to be had here. The store can get crowded at times because it is rather small and cozy. If you would like to visit, suggest early in the morning when the crowds have not arrived yet. You will have more room to shop while dealing with less crowds. What makes it so attractive. You should pay a visit and go find out yourself. Who doesn't like a bargain!

If you want cheap toiletry or personal care items- you can go wrong at the Lung Shing Dispensary…read more You might be left wondering why of all the personal care/ dispensaries in Tsim Sha Tsui, all with their own flashing neon lights and welcoming staff; that everyone will decide that they would like to stand out in the heat and queue up inside this antiquated shop. The answer is quite simple: its cheap. Everything you find in here will be cheaper than anywhere you can find in TST or for that matter- Hong Kong. You will not get any friendly service or a nice shopping environment to let you choose what you want; its a smash and grab situation where you head in there and just take anything you see as if you were breaking in. The constant number of tourists both inside and outside the shop will also remind you that its not only locals that come here, many come across the border specifically to stock up on these items and there is nowhere else they would choose but this place. This shop is a sight to be seen in a sense, I think a lot of people from abroad will find it interesting how hoards of people are piling into this little shop and literally climbing over each other for some soap. Forget about paying by credit card by the way- its cash only and that's the way it is.
