This is part 2 of my family Hong Kong escape. I have to let you all know that traveling with my entire family is quite rare. I wish it happens more often but trying to get everyone to go at one time can prove to be quite challenging.
When we are in HK, top on the list is SHOP and EAT! LOL! I mean, we’re Pinoys so this I know, we do best. Speaking of shopping, I for one was really happy to finally get my hands on my new Prada shoes that I specially customized. I was not feeling the bright colors of the existing styles so I asked if I could have a black,navy and fawn combination. Happily, they were able to do it in record time. My shoes have been available since August but I had zero time to pick it up so I was really happy that I was able to get them already. I love the leather monogramed initials they gave me on the shoe bag which comes with customizing the shoes. I cannot wait to wear them! LOL!

I finally got my Prada shoes that I have been waiting for since May!
I LOVE PRADA!
This was a nice touch.
TAAAADAAAAHHH!!!!!
I love the navy, black and fawn combination. It is so chic!

Shopping in HK is like a sport! I mean it’s true, it is what people do here. I have never seen so many stores lined up in per square foot in one island. The new Lane Crawford was amazing! They are renovating the Kowloon branch and from what I am seeing, it is going to be magical! I love how evolved the merchandising is. Plus the campaign this season is really strong and flawless!
I was also happy to be able to squeeze in some time to see my friend Eddie Fung who is a menswear designer and stylist in the region. His work has come out in Vogue China and is really one fantastic guy.
.
This accessories area of Lane Crawford is called the Market Place. It was really beautiful.
Had time for a drink with my friend Eddy Fung.

What is HK without having some Peking duck and boy did we have some! I think our family must have enjoyed half a dozen birds or even more! LOL! It was really good but oh so bad for you. (Why are all the bad things for your health taste so good?)
.
Then my family converged here for some duck!
Me with my Tito Francis, Tony and Tita Tina Laurel.
I found this photo funny! Changed my settings and ended up looking like zombies. LOL!
I like Jelly fish! YUM!
Jing Jong and Jiggs were too funny!
DUCK!
MORE DUCK!
We had a DUCK FEST! LOL!
Gela and my cousin Chema!
Duck the second way.

I then checked out
Elements mall which was humungous but quite empty.
http://www.elementshk.com/eng/elements/elements.htm. I was not sure if I liked the feeling of going to a mall and have no one there. It was a bit strange. The mall is beautiful and I think if you’re not into crowds, then shop here. There was hardly anyone when I went at 11am.

Details at the Elements mall.
Oooh...I like this corner.
Jiggs had a craving for some Pastrami!
We found it here!
.
My personal highlight of the entire trip was when my Lola Betty looked at me and said “I think I am over rested. Let’s shop for shoes!” LOL! I quickly asked her nurse to get ready and we ended up shoe shopping til the stores closed! LOL! My lola loves fashion and shoes. She taught me a lot of things regarding good taste and appropriateness. I am so blessed to have her with me. It is moments like this that I will forever cherish in my memories. I am indeed blessed!

I loved how Lola Betty looked like the colors of the orchid.
Say hi to my super cute niece Aria.
