We over ordered by so much that the amount could probably feed a whole village. Despite that, the bill miraculously came up to S$20 per pax.

You can also find quality Korean imported clothes at reasonable prices over here. I bought the peach double breasted you see in my last collage below for about S$80. My petite frame makes it difficult for me to find reasonably priced jackets that fit well, but this particular jacket fits me like a glove! I also like that it’s very versatile and can easily be matched with dresses or jeans.

The above photo with Reyna and Qihua (kaykay) was not only the last photo that I took of our trip, but also the last photo I have of Reyna and I.

So many things have changed since then, but the details of our wonderful trip will always be etched in my memory.

I’ve included information on what I wore, just in case you’re interested!

Neon Pink & Beige Tube Dress: H&M
Fur Jacket: Argyle Centre (a steal at just S$30!)
Pink Satin Straps Platform Shoes: Argyle Centre (S$30-S$40)

Lan Kwai Fong is probably the most popular nightlife district in Hong Kong. It is often jam packed with expatriates, tourists and locals. Be prepared for loud blaring music, drunkards along the road (check out the uninvited guest at the bottom-left right photo in my collage above) and huge crowds along the steep cobbled slopes. Go there with an open mind and I’m sure you’ll have a great time. 🙂

We were at Marlini, this tiny little bar with extremely loud hip hop music and very spontaneous patrons who were not afraid to show off their dance moves on the street. After Marlini, we went to a club called Liquid, only because the bouncer waived our cover charges.

For me at least, Hong Kong will remain a shopping and eating paradise. As for clubbing? Nah.

Drop me a comment if you beg to differ! I’ll love to find out what your recommendations are. 🙂

As promised, I will be showcasing my bargain buys from Hong Kong for the next couple of weeks.

Celine-inspired bag: Argyle Centre – the inspired version is all over Vivi magazine this Spring/Summer. I wanted to buy the original in HK, but strangely enough, the inspired version looked tons better to me.

Mickey Mouse watch: Hong Kong Disneyland store

There are several renowned dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong, and according to my Hong Kong-based friends, Maxim’s Palace City Hall is by far the best.

We didn’t manage to yum cha at Maxim’s this time. Instead, we decided to try our luck at Tim Ho Wan, a highly raved dim sum restaurant that is famous for its char siew bo luo bao (barbecued pork pineapple buns). As the restaurant only has 20 seats, patrons usually wait hours for their turn. The long snaking queue in front of the restaurant is a testament of its popularity.

After getting a queue number, we quickly lost our patience as the queue was moving at snail’s pace, if it was even moving at all. Since we would probably have the chance to yum cha another day (which we did!), we eventually gave up waiting and adjourned to a nearby eatery diagonally opposite Tim Ho Wan for local delicacies such as yu dan 鱼蛋 (fishballs) and wanton noodles.

I can’t recall the name of the shop but the food was unbelievably good! I had sumptuous zha jiang mian 炸酱面 (noodles tossed in minced beef sauce) there. Yummy!!

I would imagine that H&M needs no introduction. The fashionable apparel sold at affordable prices is the main reason why girls fall head over heels in love with the brand.

We spent a few hours trawling through 3 storeys of H&M apparel. I even managed to get two pairs of denim shorts from the children’s department for myself! I was wearing one of them in my recent outfit post. 😉

After H&M, Causeway Bay beckoned. Island Beverly at Causeway Bay is very similar to Argyle Centre, except that the prices are much higher. You may find some interesting designs here priced at about S$50-80 onwards. Sometimes, you can find the same items here at Argyle Centre, so I really wouldn’t recommend this mall.

Reyna and I left the mall earlier while Jun, Kaykay, Mavis and Shirley were still shopping because our legs were aching and our stomachs were rumbling. We ended up at agnes b cafe for desserts.

I will also be posting up my hauls in my WIWT posts at the end of each week, so do look out for them if you are interested.

Now, here are photos from the first day of my trip.

We woke up on a dark (not bright at all because we were up by 4am!) and early morning to catch our 6am flight to Hong Kong. All of us wore sunnies on the Airport Express because we barely had any make-up on.

I bought most of my bags, shoes and clothes from Argyle Centre. Everything here ranges from S$10-30 for clothes and bags. Shoes are generally a little pricier, at about S$40-50 a pair, especially if they’re replicas of designer footwear or of better quality.
