I'll be going to HK this coming Friday & staying somewhere in HK Island to visit the fair held there..Is there any recommendation for some nice dining/eatery & shopping places?

Planning to buy 1 DSLR for Hong Kong trip. Please recommend place to buy at Hong Kong since saying cheap in Hong Kong. Is the price different so much in Hong Kong and how about the warranty?

asking where to buy dslr in hong kong is like asking where to buy dslr in lowyat

Price > 20-30% less, 1lens if 3k... u get 1k cheaper
Warranty > R U prepare to buy 'Grey' camera/lens? try to look for international warranty if possible or if u know someone that can repair/service camera/lens, then go all the way to grey zone... hehe

Added on October 9, 2012, 12:55 amH&M is really cheap. but since KL now got d.. Abit pointless.

Not sure KL's H&M is cheap or not...

I find GAP is cheaper compared to KL. Zara seems more expensive or more less the same.

I m not into premium brands but i did saw 50% to 70% sale for A|X. Others not sure.

I wacked some of esprit Ts which after convert is around RM30ish to RM40. Well its kind of ok for me.

Got a Lacoste shoe for RM290. Dunno cheap or not but i like so buy only lol~

My Foodie in HK
Kam Wah Cafe Polo Bun, Prince Edward, Mongkok

This bun is superb, super crispy and smells gooding from afar. Better go during 3pm for fresh out of oven

Fei Jie Street Snacks @ Dundas Street, Mongkok

Really nth special, dunno what so nice. Too cold for my liking but with mustard and sweet sauce its quite nice

Grilled Satay ala Hongkie style (ROFL) @ Dundas Street, Mongkok

Nth special. Grilled sotong and lamb fats

Australia Dairy Co @ Jordan

This place really show u time is gold. Sit down, order and haven't got time to wipe my sweat. The food already infront of you. The scramble egg is superb.
The steam egg pudding is too sweet for me. But still refreshing for hot weather

Sing Heung Yuen @ Central

Roadside under a stairway, i quite like the instant noodle with luncheon meat and ham in tomato soup, just watery pasta? lol. Second pic is the lemon butter crispy toast. So so only. Didnt take a picture of the salted lemon sprite. Nice and refreshing after a long way along the stairs of central!

Four Seasons Claypot Rice @ YMT beside temple street

Only order the beef one and if u not too health conscious about your diet, remember to crack two eggs and add lots of their soy sauce! I find our claypot chicken rice nicer.. but this also not bad. Well still its consider almost to raw egg so shitbrix alert!

Yeung Kee @ Central

The century egg superb, goose just so so. We had goose, taufu, vegetable and sweet & sour pork for 4 pax = HKD880 One century egg is HKD11. According to my fren which stays there, this one is nice but too pricey compared to Yue Kee in Sam Tsang.

Mak's Noodle @ Jordan Branch

Nth special. Huge dumplings. Prefer our version of wantan mee. This cost HKD90 roughly RM40

Questions, when u go makan in HK, do u guys drink the chinese tea on the table or use it to dip ur spoon etc?

I did drank once. Depends where also.

One thing damn not used to is sharing tables. Damn awkward.

Try Mei Mei Motel, Kowloon. It's a budget hotel, like a guesthouse.
I've stayed at there before and will be staying there this coming Jan too.
Cheap and clean too! A few minutes away from Ladies market and MRT.
The lady owner is very fussy about cleanliness and noise and actually warned our guy friend against any hanky-panky business in his room... LOL.

i read from traveladvisor, the most recent comment is their toilet. Its stuck.
U cant flush the toilet paper, luckily they do provide the dustbin for it.
But imagine... after u/other finish da stuff... ur toilet paper stay there until the next morning

Dec/Jan is SUPER PEAK month, u r lucky if u able to book... now

Really? We didn't have that problem when we were there last year.
Hopefully they can get it fixed soon.
And we're already booked with them for Jan 2013.
But if anyone's interested, can email and ask? Maybe they still have vacancy.

hahaha you will be surprised that a lot of hotel practise this especially in China cities like Guangzhou. Coz it will get stuck there. that's why.

i can understand if this is China/India where ppl shit by the road side.
man... this is Hong Kong we are talking!!! U dont leave u shit unattended!!!

A lot of these hotels are owned by mainlanders that's why.

Rofl.

I noticed they dont provide water beside the toilet seat as well lol. So if want extra clean........ Hahahahahaha

Surprisingly, me and my friends encounter the same 'rule' when we were in Malia, Greece. We were told (by the people at the hotel) that the toilet will 'tersumbat' if we throw tissue in it the because of the small pipes that they used. They asked us to throw the tissue into the rubbish bin. And then, when we were conversing with a local travel agent, we asked him why that was. He laughed and said that it was the hotel's tactic to prevent the occupants from throwing non-tissue stuffs into the toilet. Apparently, the young ang mohs do stupid things when they're drunk, like throw solid stuffs into the toilet and the hotels were sick of trying to fix the toilets.

I wonder if that's the same case with Mei Mei Motel.

dafuq golden crown GH for may13 fully booked!!
anyone got any other GH that's near to mtr ??
plss recommend me..

From my experience of booking with them, usually they only accept booking 3-4 months prior to ur travelling date. For travelling in may 2013 try book with them only in jan 2013. I experience booking with them more than 6 months before my travelling date and the reservation email reply is fully booked. Is actually they don't accept booking do early according to the owner. I'm going in dec and successfully placed the booking I think 4-5 months before. Hope this help.

dafuq golded crown GH,this is a hotel or a hostel?

GH = guest house

oh. good price? good location?
got website or not? tks
