Since you are American, I recommend you go to the Fleet Arcade which is a standalone building located on Fenwick Pier near the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts in North Wanchai.
The Fleet Arcade is a tiny shopping centre that was set-up to cater to the US Navy sailors when their ships come for port of call. In every shop are staff that speak English well, give fair prices, and will not cheat the sailors. Besides some souvenir shops, there is a barbershop, a bookstore, a sports gear store, minimart, some eating establishments.
Years ago there used to be a Mcdonalds at the arcade. It was the only Mcdonalds in HK to have seating by the water's edge on the pier, served draft beer, and also served pizza. Because of that harbourside view, I had taken some chicks for cheap dates there. Now the only reason for me to visit the place is if I ever have a severe craving to read American periodicals/magazines as all USA publications are priced in USA prices, not those high prices I usually see in the shops in HK's shopping centres. | |
