Mall shopping, in the west, feels so 1980s, yet in Hong Kong and other Asian destinations, malls are a vital part of the shopping experience (one could argue, they are the shopping experience). I have asked many locals and most believe there are upwards of 100+ shopping centers. And all have their unique feel. Perhaps my hands down favorite (and for this reason, the first to review) is The Island Beverly, in Causeway Bay, HK. It is full of closet sized shops, with designers from Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. The shops are trendy, girlie, edgy, and funky. Clothing and shoes dominate, but you can also find undergarments and accessories. The prices are affordable and product changes on a weekly basis. Forget about trying on clothes, seems most shops don't allow, but that just adds to the chance purchase and experience.
