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 has got to be one of the oldest local brands that survived the tides over the years and still…read moregoing strong - G.O.D., which stands for Goods of Desire (and can I just say how its English and Chinese names are so perfectly fitting?). As its name suggests, it simply wants everyone to live better with their goods of desire. And I am gladly to say that they certainly do deliver that message loud and clear. And what can be better than the fact that most of their products embody Hong Kong's unique culture and also our history? They are apparently targeted to tourists to buy them as souvenirs, I mean, who does not want a road sign that says "Delay No More" while it still captures its quirky and smart meaning? Whenever I look for stuff to decorate my room, I always come here. This is mainly because all their goods are really contemporary, original and very quality. Furniture is well-designed and all those designs are the mixture of east and west - which represents Hong Kong as an international city obviously. The price is sort of costly but reasonable. You can definitely not find a place where you can find anything you want in this one tiny shop. Even if you are not looking for anything, come in for a nice stroll because sometimes the items are presented with humor and it is actually pretty fun just to have a good look at this place with your friends.

This is the biggest Wing On department store in the Hong Kong island …read more Wing On has been a family department store in Hong Kong since the 70 s . No matter what the outside world has changed for different times. Wong On remains the same , old fashioned and good quality store for family . You can come here for clothes , shoes , house ware items , sports sections , sun glasses , skincare , jewelry, etc. it is like a Macys in U.S.A. It has good prices for good quality merchandise. Today I was attracted by their jewelry brands and Desigual purses ( designed from Spain ) . House of Amber Jewelry is from Denmark since 1933 . They made the Amber into all kinds of jewelry and they are all beautiful ( rings , pendants, necklace , etc) . This section also had very good quality Amber . Next to that is the pearl jewelry section . The pearls are giant size with satin appearance and soft luminescence. A few jade pendants and rings are next to that . I went upstairs to look at the Spanish design Desigual bags . I did not find the leather bags I wanted but there are lots of different faux leather bags and denim ones. If they are not on sale , then it would not be a good deals . The Wing On in East Tsim Sha Tsui has more items on sale today . You can also buy Desigual bags from website in U.S.A. Macys or Norstrom on line with deals . They are easily returned ( to the store ) for refund if you don't like the size or other reasons in the U.S.A. Of course , the tags have to been all attached and never been used . There are many other items in Wing On that are nice to buy . But I am focusing on these few in this review. You can get more discount and bonus to become a store member or show your senior card ( for over 65 years old ) . Nice shopping experience in Hong Kong .

Wing On is a great local department store, that has been knocking around Hong Kong since 1907. It's…read moreby no means at the glamorous heights of Lane Crawford, or even Sogo for that matter, but it is a solid performer in the department store world. Wing On has always been known as a more down to earth department store, offering a great variety of clothing, home-wares and other accessories. Even a quick glimpse on their website will show you the variety of the products they stock both online and in store. From baby strollers and kids tea set, to razors and cool boxes, it is a veritable treasure trove of stuff. Unfortunately, the store does have a reputation of being super local, but it in fact stocks a lot of international brands, especially in the household appliances department. Like any department store, there are lots of floors, and plenty of square footage. It's nice and spacious and pleasant enough to browse around. The products are reasonable priced, and are often discounted on top of that. Always ask for discounts, or in store promotions (this in fact goes with any HK shopping, always ask for a discount!). You may find that they will knock a few % off the price, or guide you through some in store promotions. A good example was when Mrs L and I bought some towels. First off, they had this super luxurious UK brand, which is popular back home (certainly with the Queen, no less), but not very known, let alone stocked in Hong Kong. Then on top of having the brand, there was a in-store scratch card lottery to win stuff. We won HKD200 in vouchers to use another time, sweet! Don't let a bit of a "local" reputation put you off, yes the store is full of mainlanders, and the staff speak bobbins English, but if you persevere, you can get some great goods at a low cost.

How magical it is that you can shop for clothes and intimates, and at the same time food items are within reach. This location is well-stocked compared to other smaller locations in town. I wish this store is in the US.

Prices are reasonable and there are barcode reader stations that you can scan your product to confirm the price at checkout.

Pro-tip: this is primarily an area for shopping, not many exciting eats around. Eat before you embark on your retail therapy.

There are many floors in Sogo, however the layout on each floor just confusing for us…read more Not the greatest department store. My sis bought skincare items and the merchandise did not come with a carrier. I get it that we need to protect the environment and use less paper, etc etc.. But this a bit much. My sis has to put her purchase and stuffed it in her designer leather bag. The only thing I like is the grocery store in basement two. So many things to buy and many interesting food items to check out. And yep, we stuffed our groceries in our designer bags too :( Extremely crowded on weekdays evenings and all day on weekends.

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!

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.

I looked at some Adidas jacket and the style looked super outdated but the jacket was quite over priced. The store is 2 floors. It seems like there are more sales than people shopping here. My mom did look at some scarfs and of course it was around $200 + HK and was already discounted. But these scarfs looked like something that you can get really cheap for $5 USD in America or less than $10 in Canada. Not really worth coming here and shop if you are hoping to find good bargain with good quality. The store is bright and clean. I do see them trying to display themselves as high end store but the things they sell are not.

My kind of grocery store! Free delivery with minimum purchase.

Maybe because I also like visiting the Starbucks that is above this store overlooking the moving masses of Nathan Road. The store has all the things a guy needs from suits, shirts, shoes to undergarments. I personally like their business shirts especially the 'easy to iron' range which are a godsend when you're in a rush before work! Service has always been good at this location, they give you space but as soon as you look like you need assistance, they are there with a smile.
