Cholo and Yna: Spontaneous HK trip

Last Thursday, August 9, my family and I had a trip to HK and it went out really well because we were able to bond as a family. We did our usual shopping and dining together. I was excited for this trip because its been quite a few months since I last went to HK.

And here I was back at one of the best airports in the world designed by Norman Foster. I always look forward to going to hk since the first thing I see is the beautiful airport. It's very well planned out especially with the new parts of the airport where stores like Zara are found.

We always stay at the Marco Polo Gateway since its situated in Tsim Tsa Tsui, one of the most known areas in hk. Here lies Canton road, a street filled with designer boutiques such as Chanel, Prada, Hermes, etc. The Harbour City mall where the Marco Polo hotels are located is one of my favourite malls in the world since it practically has everything. From branded goods to cute department stores like City Super.

Hong Kong is known to have really good food and so since my family loves to eat and dine out, we made the most of our trip. From Korean to Japanese cuisine, we were surely stuffed!

We ate in a very good Yankiniku place with the softest and tastiest Wagyu. Mmm it melted in my mouth.

We also ate in this really cozy Korean restaurant called Arirang. The food and menu selection was great! I must say it is one of the yummiest Korean restaurants I ate in.

We were able to visit a different mall as well since we had enough time. It was in Kowloon Tang and it called the Festival Walk. Very nice mall as well! It's full of atriums and escalators. But before that we stopped by Mongkok and we saw a nice shopping place as well. Oh and not to mention we were able to see Abercrombie & Fitch models in a bus, TOPLESS! I think they were gonna launch an opening of their new store.
