Yes, it was my 5th trip to Hong Kong. This time a 5D4N trip. But the first & the last days can't be counted since most of the time was spent on the flight.
If you ask why I go to Hong Kong so frequently, I guess because it's a shopping paradise, which women like, and they've got good food. It's a familiar place to me, a not-so-stressful place for me to "relax" by just shopping & eating. I don't have to crack my head to plan itinerary. Just mark down which are the shopping places I would like to go, where is it and how to go.... that's it!!!
As to eating, believe me, most of the restaurants won't disappoint you. In fact, 9 out of 10 of the restaurants we went to, out of the 5 trips, were rated above average. Probably I'm not too choosy in terms of food. I must say Hong Kong food is nice. We never bother to go to posh restaurants but all those street shops which don't look good from the outside. We want to taste what the locals are eating. Goose & duck meats are my favourites!!
I'm not a fan of photography. Not that I don't like but maybe I'm too shy. So there aren't much photos to show. Also there aren't much to show in Hong Kong.
Langham Place (朗豪坊) is our favourite hangout place. This trip alone we went there twice. Firstly, I love the long escalator which spans straight from 1st to 8th floor. Second, we love the desserts by 满记甜品.

We went to 许留山 to try out their famous 芒果粒粒爽, and ordered this new durian flavoured muachi. It was advertised on the table that the durian was taken from Malaysia's D24. Haha!
We even went to the biggest music instrument+academic shop in Hong Kong called Tom Lee. I was asked to pose with this guitar. See the relunctance on my face?! Haha~
The most exciting part was my shopping spree! See my victory?!
If you remember my earlier post about wanting to buy a Mulberry Alexa? Yes, I got it! From this shop in Elements, Kowloon. So I must pose in front of this shop for remembrance.
Elements (圆方) is a rather big shopping mall. Our 1st time there and was where I bought my Mulberry Alexa.
Spotted this glittering Mercz and many people were taking picture of it & with it.
On our way back, we took airport express which was an around 20mins trip from 青衣．The seats were comfortable.
My biggest & craziest spending first time ever. Bought 2 bags - agnes b. & Mulberry Alexa. Both are leather & brown in colour.
I don't know why but I tend to like brands adored by Japanese. You can't get agnes b. stuff in Malaysia. The nearest is in S'pore. This leather shoulder bag can be carried fold or unfold. The sales girl said this model was hard to get & hot selling. They have been repeating orders and sometimes don't get it. Haha~ fall prey to another sweet talk, I guess...
Finally~ got my fave at 10% discount & it was close to online price, to my surprise!
Just few minutes after I said yes to this bag, a chinese man from China asked for the same bag and this is the last one they have! In fact, the first outlet I went to in Harbour City, the stocks had just arrived but reserved for customers on the waiting list. This one was originally reserved too but the customer couldn't be reached. I was lucky!!!
After this shopping spree, I don't think I will get my hands down on any branded stuff in near future. My first time buying desinger's item out from my own pocket and phew~ what an experience.
