Ayos sa Tom Lee Hong Kong!

[Saturn/Return]

i might go there to see if they have stuff i cant get locally..

i've been there before(got a few rg's there)..what i was trying to say was i hope they have stuff i cant get in the us,

Hey Bryan! If you're flying to Asia soon and you want stuff you can't get from there, I would recommend you to try Tokyo instead of H.K.

You're truly blessed as everything under the sun is available there in the US, which is a bit unfortunate for us Pinoys. From food, to clothing, to medicines, to schooling, and many more up to the American Dream. I do remember in a past US trip, my jaw dropped when I saw the guitar stores you guys have there. Hands down to America. Tom Lee is certainly nothing as to compared to what you guys have in the US.

But back here in Asia, Tom Lee seems to be just enough to put a smile on our faces

OT..... I love chicken and ducks....
Satisfy the tummy before gas.....YUMMY

Dave, you have to try the roast pork + roast duck combo too! Extremely mouth-watering for me when I used to eat pork!








Back to Tom Lee, as for me.. It's quite the opposite. After hours of trying out stuff/contemplating at Tom Lee and stepping out the door with words like "To buy or not to buy" lingering around my head, I never feel walking out empty handed as I make sure to satisfy and fill up my tummy in the restaurant just beside it after seeing all the GAS back in there




Not really a fan of bursts, but here's what left me with GAS

Sir, would you mind sharing specific directions?

Surely sir, though I rarely take the cab/taxi so I only remember the directions to the Tom Lee Wan Chai branch (Hong Kong side) via MTR coming from Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon side).





Take the MTR and go to Admiralty (red line) on the direction to Central (1 stop). Then switch to the blue line (direction Chai Wan) going to Wan Chai (1 stop).






Once you go up the escalators, turn right and just look for the exit that says "Lockheart Road". If I'm not mistaken I think it's exit C2. As soon as you're out of the station, make a right and just keep walking straight ahead. You will encounter a major intersection, just cross it and still go straight until you see "Novotel Century Hong Kong" which is beside Red Box Karaoke on your left. Once you see that hotel, make a left past it and you'll see Tom Lee on your right side which is approximately 20 meters from there.

The Tom Lee Wan Chai branch is much much smaller, but they always have different stocks as to what Cameron lane has compared to what they have. I always make sure to visit both branches whenever I have the opportunity to be in H.K. In the past (when I was a bit more hardcore), I remember I would go around 4-5 branches of Tom Lee just to compare stocks but in the end I have found that the Wan Chai branch is already the next best thing to Cameron Lane branch in terms of stocks.

Hope this helps and goodluck on your H.K. trip

hehe, ako nakabili ng ibanez s470 black, 2008 model, huling prod'n year ng korea,
nasa P16,800 sale kasi dun nun summer sept. malapit lang kami dun likod lang kami ng  
holiday inn tsim sha tsui, 5mins ko lang nilalakad going tom lee .


pero mura din sa
PARSON MUSIC sa whampoa, friend namin dun si mr. choi sale supervisor.
bumili ako ng fender custom TEXAS SPECIAL set of three nasa P4,280 lang at
seymour duncan PEARLY GATES PLUS BY FENDER nasa P2,900 lang panalo
jackpot nga ako, dapat bibilhin ko din yun fender '50s pick-up kaso kulang na pera ko.

very tempting talaga kapag nasa hongkong ka... araw araw pa naman eh dumadaan ko ako sa  
tom lee, then sat DJ kami sa radio station 11pm-12mn sa whampoa. next kong bibilhin yun
prestige ibanez s5470 ash, nasa P36k lang!

[spyroghyro]

Advisable ba na pumunta sa hongkong just to buy a Guitar woth P100K++? Or almost the same din magastos if you'll just buy it here? What about customs and additional charges/tax sa airport?

[emg]

 mura sa hongkong bumili than here sa phil. yun SV5470 nasa P48k lang
dun sa tom lee sa audiophile P69k. so, ang layo ng diff. anyway, sa cebu pacific
20kg lang maximum baggage. sabihin mo lang personal things mo yun. sa akin hand
 carry ko lang then pa-assist ka na  lang sa counter personnel ng cebu pacific ng hongkong

Thanks sir for the info... Kala ko kasi wala eh, wala kasi dun sa site nila.. Magpapabili lang kasi ako sa friend ko, magkano kaya prices ng dimarzio dun?

[curlicue]

Might be there on the last week of March/first week of April. Sayang wala silang EHX products!

BTW, hindi ba mahaharang sa customs pag naguwi ka ng several pedals galing HK?

[emg]

hindi bro.

[curlicue]
