Shopping in Hong Kong…read more.. Imagine my delight when I saw this LINE FRIENDS Store at the City Gate Outlet next to the Tung Chung MTR Station! I could not believe my eyes! I had been to the LINE FRIENDS Shop in Los Angeles and I never expected to see another LINE FRIENDS Store again. (There's one in New York - someday, I will visit.) For now, I was so happy with this Hong Kong location! I wanted so many things, but I focused on the Special Hong Kong items. They were even having a promotion. Spend certain amounts to get exclusive items such as the luggage tag and the tote bag which has a cross body strap along with the two handles. Gosh... decisions! I ended up getting a towel set, the shower curtain and the set of four nylon bags. They threw in a package of napkins...haha! The gals at this store were so cute! They really appreciated my being a fan of Cony and were so helpful and fun! I'm looking forward to returning!

From high-end brands like Burberry to Nike, along with many local and international stores offering big discounts. As a visitor and first-timer, the mall was a little confusing to navigate at first, but it's very convenient since it's directly connected to the Tung Chung station. There are also restaurants and additional shops outside of the mall area, which gives the area a lively atmosphere. Both the Novotel Citygate Hong Kong and The Silveri Hong Kong hotels are attached, making it super convenient for travelers. One thing about Hong Kong, there are lots of shopping malls. This one I wasn't too impressed with.

There's also a movie theater and a myriad of restaurants offering authentic food. I came across this place called Lian Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. I ordered the Tofu and mushroom salad, Thai Chicken skewers, Thai Wings and a strawberry and guava smoothie. The food had amazing flavor and was delicious. Of the dishes the Tofu salad was the best. The Tofu was seasoned and cooked perfectly as were the mushrooms. The portions were large enough and priced accordingly. It's definitely a place I'd recommend when visiting Hong Kong if you're looking to kill a little time before your flight.

My mother and I were at the Ralph Lauren outlet today to buy some polo shirts for a family friend's…read moreson as a gift. The Ralph Lauren is pretty huge and was quite crowded too, mostly with mainlanders and their baggage at hand. For the classic mens' Polo shirts, you want to head all the way to the back of the store - it's obvious because you'll see all the folded shirts displayed in a color coded fashion, so it's basically a wall of color. There's almost every color imaginable here! Everything was 30% off, and given the fact that they're pretty expensive to begin with, 30% is a sizable discount. We spent some time choosing between the solid colors and the plaid shirts. Eventually, we decided on getting one of the plaid shirts. But there was a problem - we had no idea what size to get him. We couldn't decide between the small and the medium - we considered the fact that he's around medium build for a guy, but since he's serving National Service back in Singapore he's probably lost quite a bit of weight. We were asking one of the sales ladies for her opinion, and she told me we could have one of the male staff try on both sizes so we could compare. This was really nice of them, especially the male staff, as we had him try on the small, the medium, and then the small size again! In the end, we went with getting the small size. I think the Ralph Lauren is a good place to go to if you have a solid idea of what you want. It's no fun to poke around here because it's kind of crowded, and there's also sort of a weird musty smell clinging in the air. The salespeople are all very nice, so that's always a plus.
