The Melting Pot Home Furnishings

Home décor items from Asia and beyond. Only open Tue–Sat. Call in advance.
The Pedder Building

Not a top mall, but many shops offer clearance stocks of designer clothes at sharp mark-downs. Most specialise in women’s fashions.
The Prince’s Building

Not as many top names as the next-door Landmark, but the bright, airy and less crowded Prince’s Building is worth a visit if big-name clothes and accessory designers are your thing.
Toys Club

A small shop offering an award-winning selection of educational toys at warehouse prices.
Toys ’R’ Us

Probably their biggest branch in Hong Kong. Kids will love it, your bank manager may not.
Universal Models

Plenty here for the model enthusiast, whether you’re after incredibly detailed military figurines or the latest Mobile Set Gundam. Scary range of pellet-firing replica guns.
Western Market

The Western Market (in the northwest of Hong Kong Island) is situated in a gorgeous old Edwardian building, but the pickings are slim. Best bet is the excellent selection of antique and second-hand watches on the ground floor. Also a good range of fabric shops, although bargains are scarce. In a former life it housed a meat and vegetable market.
Wing Wah Bakery

Hong Kong’s premier purveyor of moon cakes (see Moon Cake). These rich glazed pastry treats are eaten during the Mid-Autumn festival. The egg yolks in the centre represent the full moon.
Yu Chau Street and Nam Cheong Street

The small shops that line these two streets sell an enormous range of laces, zippers, ribbons, beads and buttons – a wider choice than you might have imagined could exist.
Yuet Chung China Works

The place to come for all kinds of china objects – tableware, decorative, personalized or monogrammed. Orders may take four weeks but shipping is arranged.
