ESPRIT OUTLET @ Tung Chung, Hong Kong

Beautiful sunny Saturday here in Hong Kong. I was invited by my client to join the post mid-autumn buffet party @ HK International Airport World Trade Center tonight. Considering it is my first official invite to an event, I have no choice but to shop for my shirt as I only brought with me a few T-shirts for this trip.

Staying here in Tung Chung is a bless as the nearest mall is within walking distance and the best of all is that this particular mall housed all the factory outlets under one roof, the one & only in Hong Kong so for travelers to HKG, do not miss this mall. To get here is pretty simple, just take the MTR, no matter which line you are, just follow the route to connect to Tung Chung line (orange in color), stop at Tung Chung which is one stop away from Disneyland. Look for the "Citygate" signage.



OK back to my shopping experience, I will be in HKG for a bit, therefore I am very careful with my spending. Today I went to ESPRIT OUTLET which is located at the 2nd floor of Citygate. Bought a urban fit long sleeves shirt for less than RM100. There is no way you can get an ESPRIT long sleeves in Malaysia at this price.



I also went to COACH OUTLET to check out some of the bags & wallets requested by friends. Very unfortunately all the items requested are the latest collection and the outlet does not carry it, it only carries off season & common signature items. So Cynthia, Jasmine & Ooi, if you are reading this, my apology and I will reply to you people by email after this posting.

Just two shops away from COACH, it will be the POLO Ralph Lauren OUTLET. A friend asked me to check out the Polo Tee embedding number 6. Hey PY dear, this is also not available. What's available here will be the Polo Tee embedding number 2 & 3 with variety of front badge. The common Polo Tee with the small horse badge price ranges from HKD300 - HKD500.

That is all for now, do check out my travelogue on my final day in Northern Thailand here.

Cheers!

Coca Cola Zero x Neighbourhood

I have never seen this Coke Zero in Malaysia, we only see Coke Light most of the time. Do not ask me the difference between Zero & Light, all I know is both also cater for obese like me.

Ok, this is an interesting collaboration. Japanese brand Neighborhood has gotten together with Coca-Cola Zero. The outcome of the promotion is a special Neighborhood Coke Zero can, as well as some denim, a tote bag and a USB stick. The goods will be available in Hong Kong at Hoods.



So today I went to get my limited edition Coca Cola Zero x Neighbourhood can. It is still selling here whilst stock lasts. Avid Coke fans from Malaysia wanna get this? I am charging RM10/can, write me your details ya.



After my post yesterday, I received quite a few write-in from friends asking me to check out the prices, PY, Cynthia & Alan if you are reading this post, be patient ya, will revert those items' prices to you all soonest possible :)

Citygate Outlets, Hong Kong

Hellow peeps!

It's been a while since I last update my shopping blog. If you had been following my primary blog site, I had just finished my one week tour in Northern Thailand & now I am in Hong Kong. I will be here for a bit in view of a small project that I am handling over here. Weather here at the moment is cloudy & windy, and it will get colder as we nearing the end of the year.

I am staying in Tung Chung, Lantau Island. It is a bit far from the Central Hong Kong, Kowloon & New Territories and just a station away from Hong Kong Disneyland. However, there is a shopping gem in Tung Chung which only mainly frequented by the locals & residents around this area. Tung Chung housed the only factory outlets under one roof in Hong Kong (something like the Seattle Premium Outlets) where you can find a few major brands here selling its products at a crazy price. To be exact, the name of the mall is Citygate Outlets Tung Chung MTR Station.

This morning, while pimping for breakfast around the mall, I spotted a brand new factory outlet which was not up during my last trip last year. Ladies, I spotted COACH Factory Outlet, I went in and I totally got no idea how COACH products are priced in Malaysia, I have no idea whether it is cheaper or not here. But I saw a COACH signature sling bag which costs less than RM1k, I remember a female friend who used this sling bag and she told me she bought it above RM1k and it was in US. So for COACH fans out there, if you wish to check the price of the product here, do check out their website @ www.coach.com and give me more details so that I can check the price for you here, send your details to mikemmery@gmail.com



Besides COACH, there is also Polo Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Calvin Klein Jeans, GUESS, Timberland, Nike, Adidas, Puma outlets to name a few. I will put more updates here when I got hold of more photos of these outlets and at the same time do send in your requests for price checking.

Once I got hold of the price, I will reply via email and if price is agreeable and you need me to buy for you peeps, then I will advice you guys on how to transact the payment to me.

In meantime, follow me on Twitter as well as check out my travelogues @ MikeMmery.

Until then, see you peeps!

I love Hong Kong!
