Went shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui with my cousin. Had dinner in Tai Ping Koon Restaurant. It’s established since 1860. The specialty- chicken wings with swiss sauce. It’s a must try!! For more info on Tai Ping Koon Restaurant, go to www.taipingkoon.com. We walked along Granville Road. There are a lot of interesting shops along the way. Then we stopped by a small shopping complex called Rise shopping complex. The shops are really small and to get the trendiest clothes and accessories, that’s the place. Each of the shops are unique and has their very own style and range of clothing and accessories. However, the style are mostly what they call “Street style”, which means it’s only for casual wear and it’s mostly for youngsters. Then I went to another shopping complex which is between Granville Road and Kimberley Road. I don’t know the name of the shopping complex but I only know it’s something like “Bak Lei” Shopping Complex. It’s similar to Rise Shopping Complex but it caters to the older age group. The clothes and accessories are not as hip but it’s still unique. I bought a prom dress for $500!! And all I can say about the dress- STUNNING!! After that we went to “Hui Lau San” for dessert, the mango pudding is delicious!! Hong Kong is well known for all these kind of special desserts, e.g. mango pudding, sago, sesame paste……
