Added on June 11, 2012, 10:30 ami no longer planning to stay in Casa d. The rate too expensive for small room. if i need to pay HKD360 per nite, i rather choose a bigger one.

yes...i did walk in to buy
i saw alot of ppl also did that
hk hotel is like SG hotel...real estate expensive thus hotel also small and expensive
else u can try other's recommendation golden wave if not wrong but its not in agoda or other hotel website

Might go with a 4star one hahaah rm400 per nite lol.

Hey, your back? come.. trip report!

abt the heat...i mentioned previously already
now for food.....my recommendation is follow what is recommended here...dn't go to ALTERNATIVES
yung kee - 1 word EXPENSIVE...4 ppl eat minimum HKD1000....me and my family 4 ppl ordered half goose, char siew and a pineapple fried rice(not we choose, recommended by the waiter there)
the roasted goose is good...which is why this is their most famous dish...but not my favorite food so its consider quite good(HKD260 if not wrong)
char siew - this is HEAVEN to your mouth....this is basically the BEST char siew i've ever eaten, nothing comes close to it...MUST try (HKD140)
pineapple fried rice - nothing special and overpriced....can skip this
meanwhile my aunt 3 ppl there ate HKD2000++....they ordered half goose, char siew and their steamed chicken thn after that order another half goose...i was like WTF
and we take away 4 set of their century eggs...relatives all request us to bring back

now is milk company(there are 2...australian and yee shun)...like i said be4, dn't go alternatives
australia milk company.....portion big, same price as yee shun and their milk is real and rich(no add anything)
mean while in yee shun, price is same while portion is shit small.....most importantly their milk is tasteless...its milk added with water...no taste at all
i know australia's milk didn't add anything becuz the taste is rich enough and it tasted the same as the milk i have here in sabah(desa milk)

good hope noodle
i ordered wantan mee...very nice...can't compare cuz i didn't go elsewhere to taste others
my brother ordered century egg porridge with mince meat.....the bowl is literally filled with century eggs...worthed..and price is reasonable
eat the same thing else where will cost 2X
there is another thing that caught my attention but i didn't get the chance to taste it..its call pork leg kon lau mee...i saw the other table ordered it and dam it looks nice

dim sum
MUST GO TO TIM HO WAN...DO NOT go anywhere else
u go other place for dim sum, portion is small, price is 2X and u can't get as much food with the same price(but of course with the courtesy of no need queue)
in tim ho wan...i need to wait 1.5 hours...actually no need so long cuz the number will jump cuz they went away after taking number and heard that it will take 1.5-2 hours
and certain customer also shocked when they heard the guy said come back in 2 hours..hahaha
but dam the food is sooooo good and big portion
especially their meatball....1 long have 3 meatball and its freakin big

street food
fei je giant octopus(HKD10)....must try...even my mom and bro say its good
sakurashima bakery(HKD 2.5 each) and tai cheong bakery's egg tart(HKD5 each) - it taste abt the same but the cheaper one of course is smaller but still must try
gong cha...must try for me cuz my place dn't have it...not bad

Still choosing which hotel to go :S tho I booked 3 already, can cancel anytime xD

hahaha... u book through different site?
cz last time in agoda, i wan book the same day the system don't allow.

Also note that some websites have cancellation charges.. So really need careful.

i book thru booking.com

So far all 3 hotels no need deposit for reservations. One of the hotel doesnt even accept Credit card which is not really favourable since I dont want deal with so many cash transactions when I'm there.

Casa is still full as of today, any other hotels thats recommended?

Casa still one of my best budget hotel with nice location.

Another one is Hotel M1, just behind of Casa but... according to TA that it is sandwiched inbetween of two coffin shops. If you really dont mind then its also good location (near to YMT MTR), walking distance to Temple Street, nice food around)

slightly higher budget,

Metropark Mongkok (Prince Edward MTR walking distance but its old hotel)

Butterfly on Victoria (Tin Hau MTR walking distance prolly 5 to 10mins walk) Very new boutique hotel, got some good opening rates going on.

YMCA Salisbury also got good location but slightly higher on price.

i guess can try butterfly on victoria cz it's under butterfly group. their boutique hotel usually is quite nice n haf gd rating/review. room oso spacious. cs oso friendly.. tis is wat i experience

sigh, initially i booked casa, price at rm4xx (agoda)

then due to change of plans, i have to change my date on staying at HK, supposedly checking in on friday become check in on saturday

want change date, but casa full liao on saturday

so no choice have to cancel. try booked kings de nathan, using booking.com

end up paying rm6xx for it....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Okler, my budget can up abit, provided it's reasonable la.

I dont want to pay cheaply and then had to endure the stress, when we are really expecting free stress while vacationing. *going with wife, well you know what happen when a women stress.

I got my eye on Cosmopolitan Hotel, HKD780 per night which total around RM1.5k/RM1.6k for 5 nights. Wondering if I should book that since I need to pay everything now.

y dun u try to find other alternatives? unless it's a must u must stay around Mongkok or Jordan area lo.. thn no choice la... somemore u check in on saturday.. usually more expensive. rm600++ can stay at novotel at nathan road dy
