Woke up around 9am. Cousin's part-time maid came in for the day and she taught us what bus/train to take so that we can save on transport. Well, my cousin's place is at some high class but ULU area so taking cabs would cost a bomb! Rather spend the money on shopping lor.
It was quite cold. Had to wear my gloves once I reached the apartment lobby to wait for the apartment feeder bus that would take us to Sheung Wan Station (上环).
Decided to give chance first and allow hubby to go get his stuff at Sham Shui Po. Haha..no la..actually we should go there first because it's the furthest up the MTR line. Hence go there already we can travel down. Apuliu Street is just next to Sham Shui Po and the 2 areas are famous for stuff such as batteries, touch lights and other electronics stuff. Around the corner is Cheung Sha Wan Fashion Street. It is a wholesale centre; the clothes there were not to my liking; mainly auntie-like stuff and even if I found something I like, it is unlikely that the owner would sell 1 piece.
I was VERY hungry once we reached Sham Shui Po so I want to EAT first. We ate at some coffeeshop and I ordered Wan Tan Mee. Hmm...it may look plain but it's actually quite yummy.
Abit boring for me there, so I 'self-take' lor..
Next station was Festival Walk at Kowloon Tong. It's a new shopping centre. The boutiques there are quite affordable; not those up-market until absurd kind. I bought my OZOC jacket there. I luurrrvveee the jacket! So ka-wa-ee!! *I hope to get a similiar jacket here in Yellow!!*
My hubby's turn to get bored while I shopped :) so he took those shots.
After Kowloon Tong, our next destination was the night markets at Prince Edward and Mongkok. It started to rain when we reached Prince Edward so we went to Allied Plaza to shop. This place is like our Far East Plaza; full of small boutiques selling unique and ka-wa-ee type of clothes. I bought a skirt-like top there. They sell alot of boots too!
Rain stopped and we went out to the night markets - Fa Yuen Street and Tung Choi Street aka Women's Street. The streets are like our local pasar malam, except that they sell alot more things. Some of the clothes and shoes there are quite nice. However, I am not into them. Somehow when I shopped at pasar malam I felt that I already have the stuff they are selling there! I think subconsciously I'd rather spend my money on something more unique like those locally designed and other ka-wa-ee cl
othes!
Passed by playground at Portland Street (波兰街); one of the red-light districts. Hmm..wonder why red-light district will have playground leh?!
Walked downwards to Yau Ma Tei. Temple Street was boring. Nothing much when we went there, maybe the shops were not opened because it was drizzling. Did not remember it being so boring the last time I went HK few years back.
Further down Yau Ma Tei is Tshim Sha Tsui. One of my favourite shopping place at HK! However by the time we got there, it was late and my feet was darn tired la! Could walk no more! So we just anyhow walk walk then went home!
