Inside Oakridge Centre

A great variety of shops had centralized at Oakridge. Shops selling from Children’s wear to fashioned clothes, mobile phones to household electrical appliances, jewellery to pottery, even a big department store could be found here.



The most welcoming ones were the cafés, cake-shops and stores at food court because people could spend some time in the afternoon sipping coffee or tea, eating a slice of cake, buns or taking food of different countries. Philip told me that it was the place that foreign people ate Chinese food.

I saw a store selling tacos here. Taco was the most impressive food that brought back memories of the lunch at Disneyland, Los Angeles. I remember on that afternoon, my wife and I had to pay that lunch ourselves. I knew nothing of the term “Taco”, but had an idea that it was a kind of Mexican food. I chose it simply because it was the cheapest at the store. A mass of beans and vegetables with salad dressing were wrapped up by a hard shell of flour.

Small cream or fruit cakes at the shop windows were attractive to me. Yet they were expensive ones. I could resist the temptation for 3 months. I would try similar ones when I return to Hong Kong.




I took a few photos of Abby when she walked on the edges of the two narrow small-but-there is fountains and played at a Children’s playground.
