came back from hongkong, i feel in HK u must know where to eat, i think this T provide a lot of info.
or else the normal one taste ok, but expensive

Dear all,

I'm planning for a HK trip on 31 Dec 09 and i just checked airasia website for the air tickets. It's about RM650 including tax but it's not the final price.

However, next month there will be Matta Fair. I'm thinking to hold on my purchase to get a lower price there. Is the price a lot cheaper based on the previous Matta Fair? Easily sold out?

Should i buy now or wait for Matta Fair? i'm worried that if i did not manage to get the tickets next month at Matta Fair, the price aldy increase compared to now.

At those prices you might wanna consider Cathay Pacific or MAS? You might get cheaper tickets if you wait, however its no guarantee. Maybe you can try your luck....

try singapore airlines. Rm 1100++ inc transit in singapore. got the chance to fly A380

RM650 for roundtrip to HK is a good deal besides it is new year day. That's usually more expensive.

When exactly is the Matta Fair?

Hmm..tried Cathay Pacific and MAS aldy, both required at least RM1k. Out of my budget aldy. Yup, you are right. I'm also worried that i may not get cheaper price if i wait longer. So, i think i will book at the current price. Might not wait for Matta Fair and lazy to go through the hassle as well.



I would love too but out of my budget aldy.



Yeah, i'm thinking the same too since it's a peak period. Most probably will book at the current price. Btw, Matta Fair will be held on 4 - 6 Sept 09 at PWTC.

Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone has use the Octopus card while in Hong Kong ? Want to get opinion n see if it is worth it to get it or not..

Hi guys, i will be going to HK next Thursday (20/08/2009). Wondering how's the condition of the H1N1 there. A bit worried...

I always used it , what do u want to know ? very convenient. Been going to HK annually for the last few years, mainly for makan & shopping.

i go HK oni take teksi one. nvr take others.

Get one if you planned to get around HK by public transport, can use on MTR, buses (incl mini bus), tram, ferries. And can use as a cash card to buy things from participate outlets, eg 7-11. Keep the Octopus card for future visit or refund the balance, with HKD 7 admin fee.

Haven't you read the news? 44 cases of death in Malaysia. Pretty much anywhere is safer than Malaysia now. You'll be safer in Hong Kong.

My hubby just back from Hong kong last week , he said everything is okay there, just remember to wear mask!

Yups, agree. Very convenient, saves alot of hassle. Besides, any amount not used can be refunded fully.


If it's on sale, then it should be reasonable. My sis bought a Coach handbag there during the summer sale(mid-July), and it was cheaper in HK compared to a few places. Furthermore, she couldn't find that particular model here in KL.


Yah, best of all, their airport provide free masks!

@beauwest

What are the places included in the half day city tour?

As per your itinerary, on 2 Sept, The Peak, Golden Bauhinia Sq, Repulse Bay and Aberdeen are in Hong Kong Island but Tsing Ma Bridge is way out!

If you are flying into HK, from the airport to town, you'll cross the Lantau Link, part of Tsing Ma Bridge anyway. So, IMHO, best to combine your visit to Tsing Ma Bridge Visitor Centre, either on the day going to Lantau Island or Disneyland.

Ami Tsun,

Hi. The places included in the half day city tour as listed in the itinerary. I am not sure how long it will take us for the half day tour, even the tour agent in Msia cant confirm, as they said it is depend on the tour agent in the HK.

I am not sure where else I can go after the half day city tour on the 2 Sept. Any suggestions?

How long will it take from Citygate Outlet Mall to Dorsett Seaview?

Thank you very much.
