Walking in, you are immediately ensconced in the Hong Kong classic elite lifestyle. Any antiques you see are authentic, and this particular lounge offers a full drink menu, from tea served in classic services to delicious Whisky Sours and everything in between. Pick a chair ... any chair (they're all equally comfortable) ... and settle right in. You may ask for the wifi password up at the reception desk before you do, however. :-) I only found this place on the day I'm taking off to go back home, but I'll definitely be back here on my next visit to Hong Kong. Love it!

Red Chamber has always been my "go-to" cigar divan in Central…read more And the reasons are quite obvious: - comfortable seating; - very knowledgeable staff who can give good recommendations on cigars and the pairings....based on the kind of flavor/finish you're looking for; - quality and variety of cigars is always excellent - conveniently located in the heart of Central... so it's in close proximity to pretty much all the offices/malls in Central and other nearby areas - And to make the experience even nicer....soft and mellow music is always playing in the background that you can barely hear...and me thinks that's just perfect for a cigar divan.m OVERALL these factors make up for a perfectly relaxing cigar experience .

If I had a bottomless budget, I would have used their flowers for my entire wedding! They have many pre-made domes of varying sizes that you can buy off the shelf. They also have several drawers filled with different flower sizes and colours that you can pick and choose to replace the pre-made floral arrangements given it's not too complicated. The girl who works there is the sweetest and should win some sort of award for patience. They offer some laser cutting options for small signs for their domes as well. My office was in the area and I would often visit their store just to see what was new and every now and then there would be a new product.

So I tend to go to the COS on the Hong Kong side versus this one in Kowloon, but I love COS so much…read morethat I had to stop in. It appears to have the same stuff and is marketed the same in the layout of the store, with the one exception that this store is all on one floor versus being on two floors in Hong Kong. Great clothes that are structured, timeless, a great price point and with the exception of anything made from merino wool (I dont buy merino wool, because I dont like how it can snag), all of the fabrics from COS have washed really well and retained their shape with little worry. I am a COS fan!

Today I officially stopped in. Come to find out the brand is young, having only been founded in 2005. Clothes are indeed made with natural fibers that are designed to be particularly resistant yet worn as every day wear. Mohairs, cotton, jersey, etc...thus I was not too off by picking this up in their window display. The shop is small and I felt like there was not very much product to see. Nobody said hello to me as I flipped through the clothes around the shop for a few minutes. Clothes are piced in the $1000-$3000 price range on average (not on sale and this is what I was seeing for fall/winter clothing) for stuff that I was not sure about on craftsmanship or quality. There were some unknowns in my head as I perused the racks. Maybe a line to watch as it grows in the world or maybe another Yelper can contribute more info about what I should love about this line or this store, but to me it gets a Yelp 3. The Yelper who wrote the review in August of 2014 before mine loves this brand, but based on her photos she was shopping during the summer sale time.

I wish the store was closer to home!…read more Manila Grace is a women's clothing store located away from the crazy hustle and bustle in Causeway Bay. The store feels so fresh as soon as you walk in. There are lots of blues, whites, creams and other calming colors throughout. Manila Grace is an Italian brand that houses casual, chic clothing. The styles are very relaxed and the fabrics are light and airy. I saw many pieces that I would consider wearing in the store that looked comfortable, but also had a bit of an edge to them. According to my husband, who thinks he pegged my style, this is a classy hippy clothing store. Manila Grace also has some very unique accessories which are available for purchase. They have gorgeous scarves and I was infatuated with their partially woven jewelry. I found a necklace that I liked that was half rose gold colored, and the other half is woven. and the salesperson kept showing it to me in different colors. When I finally selected the one I wanted to purchase, she showed me a different length of the necklace which made my decision making even more challenging. Manila Grace brings style to classic comfort. This is a very popular style in Hong Kong, so this store will probably be around for a while. Prices are mid-ranged and they use high quality fabrics so that clothing will last.

Koi Kei has set the bar on pineapple cakes for me. I am ruined for the rest of my life until I can…read moremake my way back to their shops. You can find the shops in Hong Kong but the prices are more expensive than getting it direct from Macau. There are multiple stores in Macau and from what I could tell, the prices were the same even if you were closer to the ferry. There are boxes of cookie, jerky, etc samples throughout the store and the employees are typically a little pushy to get you in and looking around. I think it's because that's half the battle. Once you're in and you try a sample, you'll walk out with full yellow bags of goodies! Highly recommend: Walnut and peanut brittle which was very light and crunchy vs the American version that feels like you're going to break your teeth! At $15 USD for a generous size box and gorgeous packaging, it was a great souvenir. We got packaged jerky instead of the fresh jerky that you can buy by the pound. The employee said it was the same but the packaged ones come in little 2" sealed chunks. Instructions say to heat it up prior to eating which resulted in a smoky microwave and super hot napalm covered jerky. Pineapple cakes: get the big box. Tender and almost crumbly cake / cookie outside and pineapple filling; you can see the chunks of fruit! Absolute perfection. Shortbread cookies: comes in multiple flavors. My son loved the chocolate chip the best. Some of the packaging at Kee Wah looks similar to Koi Kei but they are not the same. Both are good but Koi Kei is top notch. Can't wait to visit again!

One thing I do not understand is that the items in the HK Koi Kei is way more expensive than the Macau Koi Kei. I suggest you get it at Macau. Also the Macau Koi Kei is crazy packed full of people and HK Koi Kei is very quiet. I mean of course if you do not want to travel to Macau then you might as well get it here. I do enjoy their products!

We came across this place in HK because after plenty of walking and drinks I was extremely hungry!…read moreAs it was late Jay O called so many places and the kitchens were closed! This place a Belgium pub was open and the guy said arrive in 20mins you can place a food order. We rushed over in 18 minutes lol! Upon being seated the waitress says kitchen closed! My heart sank at that moment! I hadn't eaten dinner and was incredibly hungry. Jay O immediately said no I spoke to a gentleman who said if we got here in 20 mins we could order food. The manager then said yes they can I told them they could. That alone is the reason for 5 stars!! Lol luckily for us the food was amazing as well! Our first meal in Hong Kong ended up being Belgium food but amazing German food. Their gulden drak beef stew! Man so gooood! It came with a side of Belgium style mashed potatoes. We also ordered French fries and chicken wings. Fries were excellent and well seasoned. The chicken wings flavorful but yet extremely soggy. Jay O said it might've been because the oil had been turned off for some time so it was hot when they dropped them in. The selection of Belgium beers are amazing! Pages upon pages! Few drafts but plenty of bottles! The manager was very cool and talkative. After they were closing we headed to another bar he recommended and said he would meet with us to have a few drinks, he did and we had a great time!

I had the misfortune of having beer spilled on me (don't worry-- not much beer was wasted in the process), and in my shock, the next moment I blinked, a bartender had already rushed to me with paper napkins and then told me he'd get me a towel ASAP. He did. That man is my savior.

The appropriately termed B.O.B or Bears On Bikes got us looking and eventually buying shirts for everybody in the family. Truthfully, it had been a long time since I had been in a store like this. It reminded me of a sort of step down from a J. Crew. Straight up, most of my stuff is purchased online or at a non-mall type shop, so it was actually a bit out of my zone. Nonetheless, we walked out of there with 5 matching shirt that we ended up wearing on the plane a few days later. Bear on bike has worked itself into my rotation, and ultimately we were happy to have ended up at the spot. If you walk by it, it is probably worth going into!
