By the way, the next time you are heading to Hong Kong, here are some of my recommendations for you if you are a bargain hunter like me...
Head to "Garden Street". What they sell: clothes and shoes. Small little shops that carry some of the latest requisitions from China. Go to this place before you even head to big shopping belts like Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay as things tend to be marked up at more touristy places.I bought a pair of high heel shoes (mock tiger fur print) at only HK$49 can!!
Head to "Temple Street" market first before you head to "Woman Street". Although the variety of things sold at Temple Street may not be as wide as "Woman Street", chances are things will be a lot cheaper. I bought a Burberry inspired shawl at HK$30, similar one is sold at Woman Street for HK$138. Also bought a aroma-burner at HK$15. Cheap can! I also bought a hand-crafted wooden Starbucks logo at HK$100...I heart! By the way, plan to have your dinner at Temple Street. There are lotsa "Dai Pai Dong"...makan makan.Head to Tsim Sha Tsui. Keep scouting for good stuff there. Sometimes you can find some really good bargains. I visited this mini-mall called Granville Identity when they were having a really crazy promo - enjoy 40% off when you buy 4 items and above. My gawd, cheong ah!! I got a Skin79 BB cream at only HK$75 after discount! Don't be shy to go into shops like In-Fashion - a Hkg version of This Fashion. You'll never know what you can find.
Head to Causeway Bay. Again. Just keep scouting for good stuff there. Don't forget to visit a mini-market there. It's in-between Giordano and Bonjour (opposite U2). You might find some good buys there...There are also some shops at the side of the market. Do yourself a favor - squeeze into these shops and dig for some good deals. Also do visit shops that are way up in the sky. They are most likely to carry bargains than those on the ground floor.
Head to Wanchai if you are into sample or reject clothes. You might find Victoria Secrets or Kenneth Cole. What I bought before a Kenneth Cole Blazar for B at only HK$100.
Outlet shopping in Hong Kong. Yes! I just found out that there is an outlet mall in Hong Kong. It's called citigate outlets, located at QingYi. I haven't been there but i think it should be worth checking out.
Enjoy Bargain Hunting!
