Ladies and gentlemen, I am here today to share with you a review of the amazing Hong Kong City Mall, starring none other than our very own main character, Joe Biden. Now, let me tell you, Joe Biden may be the President of the United States, but today he's taking on a new role as the hero of our mall adventure. Picture this: Joe strolling through the maze of shops and restaurants at Hong Kong City Mall, sporting his signature aviator sunglasses and flashing that charming smile of his. As he navigates through the bustling crowds, Joe can't help but get distracted by the tantalizing aroma of street food wafting through the air. Being the foodie that he is, Joe decides to take a detour and sample some of the local delicacies. With his signature enthusiasm, Joe dives into a plate of piping hot dumplings, his face lighting up with delight as he savors each bite. And let me tell you, folks, watching Joe enjoy those dumplings is a sight to behold - it's like he's found his own little slice of heaven right here in the heart of Hong Kong City Mall. But the fun doesn't stop there, oh no. Joe's next stop is the electronics section, where he can't resist trying out the latest gadgets and gizmos. With a childlike twinkle in his eye, Joe experiments with virtual reality headsets, drones, and smart devices, much to the amusement of onlookers who can't believe their luck at witnessing the President of the United States goofing around like a kid in a candy store. And as the day draws to a close, Joe bids farewell to Hong Kong City Mall with a satisfied grin on his face, knowing that he's had the time of his life exploring this vibrant hub of activity and culture. So, my friends, if you ever find yourself in need of a good laugh and a great time, take a leaf out of Joe Biden's book and head on over to Hong Kong City Mall. Who knows, you might just bump into the man himself, striking up conversation with locals, sampling street food, and spreading joy wherever he goes. Thank you, and remember: laughter is the best therapy, especially when it comes with a side of...
Read moreTo be honest, I grew up in this larger strip grocery store mall as a kid. I really enjoyed the culture and food. However upon re-visiting and as an adult, I felt that there exist a epidemic at this location that I must have missed as a kid. First of all I want to say I love culture and appreciate hertiage. I have traveled the world including 4 years in South East Asia. I just want to put that out there before anyone calls me for cultural appropriation. I am Vietnamese and have lived and worked in Asia. The way that the employees inside the market treats you depending how you dress or how light your skin is- is just shameful. As an Asian community we already face so much pressure to conform and be the "model citizen", that the last thing we need is not to be able to feel comfortable within our own community with our strict and unrealistic expectations for each other. I do not know how many times I have been "shoo" as if I was a dog by the janitorial staff here because I am Asian and not a white guy. "Shoo" over things such as not returning a cart inside the store before leaving, a cart which I found outside before coming in. In comparison- when a lighter skin person visit, never is the staff rude. I personally feel very disappointed as I expected all of this living in Asia-in my previous life, but never in the America I grew up in. These minor rips and tears that the staff of this establishment display embodies the strain in the very fabric of our community. Yes market place interactions within the Asian community do impact and determines what our children see as we take them on our weekly super market trips. Remember back, you know this is true. So yes I want to see the staff of this establishment do better- as groceries such as these can too be the Hallmark and Culutral Health of a community's lifeblood...
Read moreI came here late on a Friday night after dining nearby. I’m always down to explore new places, so I wanted to check this out while I was close. I’ve heard about it before but not being originally from the area, I’m only familiar with the history of it from word of mouth.
I came in about 30 minutes before most of the businesses were going to close for the night, so I was not lingering too long in any one shop. Being someone who always wants to support local businesses, I made it a point to purchase some food from several of the bakeries located in there. If I hadn’t already eaten, I’d definitely would’ve bought a bánh mì. Everything I did buy was reasonably priced and tasted great!
Each shop had its own vibe, with most of them being Vietnamese operated. As always when I have the opportunity, I took the chance to practice my tiếng việt, with mixed results but all of the shop staff were helpful and polite, even when my tones were off. In my case, they greeted me upon entering and let me browse to my hearts content, not saying much until I asked a question or made a statement. I appreciate the relaxed vibe myself.
There were so many food, snacks and drinks that I felt a little remorse for what I did not purchase. That being said, I’ll return another day, much earlier and take more time to browse. I didn’t make it into the grocery store, so I’ll do that on my next visit as well.
This was probably one of the least busy spaces, I’ve been in the area. I can see that it’s seen its glory days come and go but I can only imagine the history of this place. It would make for a cool documentary. Better yet hopefully, the building and businesses will get revitalized in the future. I always love coming and hanging out on Đại Lộ Sàigòn and embrace the culture and support the people...
