I want to let you buy and eat some special .
Talk about EAT first. Do you know what is " Yum Cha" it's one of the culture of our life style.

As we know Hong Kong tax charge is lower than another countries, so that there have many tourists will come to crazy shopping.But i don't want to introduce any famous brand name to you.
Because i want to let you know more our Hong Kong culture.
"Mongkok" is a very busy area in Hong Kong and you always sees a huge crowds of people there everyday. There have a famous street name " Tung Choi Street", you also can called " Ladies Street". There have many different kind of things to buy. You can bargain with the shopkeeper. Although they may not can speak English very well, but you can use the body language to communicate with them. Also i think you can find some interesting thing here to buy.
Did you here that before this thing called " Mahjong". This is a game have a long long history, if you want to play this game you have to find three more friends play with you. I know that you can play the game in the internet. But i still believe that play the real one is more exciter than the game in internet. If you play with the elderly people it can help them to improve the condition of Alzheimer's disease.
So i suggest you can buy one to back to your home.
Furthermore, Mongkok is a very large area. Also have many special street like " Gold Fish Street" , i know that you can't but any gold fish or turtle go back. But i think it's worth to walk around to feel the special culture of Hong Kong.Finally, maybe you will think i talk about this may not relative my title " Buy what you want" , but my view is i want to show you more about the Hong Kong culture. May be you discovered i mention " Hong Kong culture" many times. Because i really think that Hong Kong is a very unique city, although there is a very tiny city. But there have a very long history and have a large transition. So i want you can feel and experience it.
And imprint in you memory.

Hi Hazel, any recommendations for shopping and eating ?
ReplyDeleteI also like Put Chai Ko without the red beans. Where can I get those ? I just take the beans out manually which is a big waste.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Goldfish Street, too. I just saw this street earlier this year and I intend to go for a walk there again. Really fascinating slice of Mongkok !
