So we showed you a list of foodie paradises for you to checkout while in Hong Kong. Now let's look at the amazing attractions that Hong Kong has to offer! For more information, feel free to visit DiscoverHongKong.com

Do let us know your favourite!

Hong Kong Attractions
1. Sky100 Observation Deck
Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck is located on the 100th floor of ICC, the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong. It is the top tourist destination offering unbeatable 360° views of the city. Inside, you can take a fascinating multimedia tour of Hong Kong's history and culture presented in a state-of-the-art interactive exhibition. Itinerary planning devices allow visitors to gather Hong Kong tourist information conveniently and custom-make itineraries are receivable via designated email accounts.
Address: 100/F International Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon
For more information visit: http://www.sky100.com.hk/

2. Avenue Of Stars
The Avenue of Stars pays tribute to the names that helped make Hong Kong the ‘Hollywood of the East’, while giving visitors a panoramic view of the city’s most iconic sight: its glorious skyline, dramatically set against The Peak. This is also the perfect vantage point to catch the A Symphony of Lights multimedia show.
Address: Promenade, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
For more information visit: http://www.avenueofstars.com.hk/eng/home.asp

3. The Peak
Located on the highest point on Hong Kong Island, the magnificent view is what makes The Peak one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong. By day your eyes stretch across sparkling skyscrapers and Victoria Harbour all the way to the green hills of the New Territories. In early evening this panorama melts into pink and orange before reincarnating as a dazzling galaxy of light, shimmering beneath you.

Address: Mid Levels, Hong Kong
For more information visit: http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/home.asp

4. Hong Kong Disneyland
Seeking to get in touch with your inner child and childhood imaginations? Well magic, adventure and the world’s favourite cast of characters await you in the form of exhilarating rides, shows, eateries and more thrilling attractions! The Grizzly Gutch, Toy Story Land, Flights of Fantasy Parade, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, and so much more is sure to take your breath away!
Address: Hong Kong Disneyland, Lantau Island, Outlying Islands
For more information visit: http://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/

5. Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade
Starting at the colonial-era Clock Tower and stretching all the way to Hung Hom, a stroll along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade takes one past the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the Hong Kong Space Museum, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and Avenue of Stars.
Address: Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

6. Ocean Park Hong Kong
Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine-life theme park featuring animal exhibits, thrill rides and shows. In 2012, its impressive ability to offer guests a world-class experience that blends entertainment with education and conservation was confirmed when it became the first Asian winner of the biannual Applause Award, the most prestigious award in the amusement and theme park industry.
Address: Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong Island
For more information visit: http://www.oceanpark.com.hk/html/en/home/

7. Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (and Golden Bauhinia Square)
With its vast curtain of glass and 40,000 square-metre aluminium roof sculpted to echo a seabird soaring in flight, the striking Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is a major landmark on the Hong Kong Island skyline. The bauhinia statue is the emblem of Hong Kong.

Address: 1 Expo Drive, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island

For more information visit: http://www.hkcec.com.hk/

8. The Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery
Sitting 34 metres high and facing north to look over the Chinese people, this majestic bronze Buddha draws pilgrims from all over Asia. Climb the 268 steps for a closer look at this remarkable statue, and to enjoy the sweeping mountain and sea views that can be seen from its base. Opposite the statue, the Po Lin Monastery is one of Hong Kong’s most important Buddhist sanctums and has been dubbed ‘the Buddhist World in the South’.

Address: Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, Outlying Islands
For more information visit: http://www.plm.org.hk/

9. Clock Tower
Standing 44-metres tall, the old Clock Tower was erected in 1915 as part of the Kowloon–Canton Railway terminus. The once-bustling station is long gone, but this red brick and granite tower, now preserved as a Declared Monument, survives as an elegant reminder of the Age of Steam.

Address: Star Ferry pier, Kowloon Point, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

For more information visit: http://www.amo.gov.hk/en/monuments_43.php

10. Temple Street Night Market
When the sun goes down, the traders have already laid out their wares and the opera singers and fortune tellers begin to emerge. Trinkets, tea ware, electronics, watches, menswear, jade and antiques are scrutinised and haggled over, while claypot rice, seafood, noodles and other treats are consumed with gusto.

Address: Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon
Stay tuned as we'll be updating this space with more info about the must see, do, and taste in Hong Kong!

Just only realize that I will be going to Hk island more than kowloon.

Hence my advise is plan the places that u wanna go the most then decide ur area to stay. Why? It's more cost benefit. Ofcourse the hotel must be within walking distance to mtr.

yeah wor
i oso ngam ngam realise it oso
i was thinking the most convenient area to stay is mongkok area, then also found out i will be in wanchai area mostly

That is an aweful long time, whole afternoon allocated for Macau Tower. Unless you plan to do their extreme activities, nothing much there. i suggest you head over to taipa for venetian/cod/galaxy. There is a Lord Stow's outlet at venetian, best egg tarts, go get 'em.

i wanna avoid bridal tea house flagship hotel. Reviews not very good although its cheap.

i dont mind paying extra abit more for better offers.

Book earlier used to be way to get cheaper rooms but today it changed.

take for eg, agoda.. sometimes u might get more discounts when its nearer to the travel date. this is due to clearing rooms.

ic ic prat and morrison looks nice.. but i would prefer something like 2mins walk to nearest MTR.

thats why i shortlisted Casa Hotel and Metropark mongkok. Both is very near to MTR.

but i always say accommodation very subjective. Some willing to pay more.. some just want a simple bed and nice bathroom.

this i agree.

anyway, i do pass by bridal tea house at yau ma tei before when i went for the 4 season claypot rice

from the outlook of the hotel, i won't stay there. it's located in quite a small and dark road (sorta an alley type), and from the outlook it seems old

but well, never look into the rooms before la

that the problem.. there are even more cheaper and lower scale hostel which can offer lowest to rm100 per night. if i really very tight on budget, why would i still pay rm180 for that kind of standard same like hostel except u have own dedicated bathroom.

actually there is various promo.. depends which one suits u.. u can check n survey on9..

if u do take mtr often.. u can take tis mtr tourist value pack promo.. bt tis one u haf to buy on the spot

Anyone who plan to stay at Bridal teahouse, might as well stay at guesthouse like Dragon Hostel which is cheaper and has a much much bigger attached bathroom than bridal teahouse's (even smaller than Genting First World hotel's room bathroom)....

Bridal teahouse's room is so tiny that when one lie down on the bed, the legs would touch the room door...

Somewhat true about the September weather.

Last Sept, I was in HK 3D/2N. The day before I arrived, the airport was closed. My first day there, typhoon signal 1. The next 2 days, typhoon signal 3 - outdoor activities were cancelled, kindergardens closed.

Regarding the rain, according to the Hong Kong local, some how, Kowloon side more rain than the island side....esp Aberdeen/Ap Lei Chau side, less rain...

Somewhat true about the September weather.

Last Sept, I was in HK 3D/2N.  The day before I arrived, the airport was closed.  My first day there, typhoon signal 1.  The next 2 days, typhoon signal 3 - outdoor activities were cancelled, kindergardens closed.

Regarding the rain, according to the Hong Kong local, some how, Kowloon side more rain than the island side....esp Aberdeen/Ap Lei Chau side, less rain...

Not to scare you, just be prepared. Tyhpoon and rain sure got, don't know when nia. Maybe this year "postponed", coz as for now the weather in HK still quite "winter-like".

There is no direct shuttle from lisboa to venetian. Here is the shuttle connections between mainland and taipa:
venetian-sands
mgm-city of dreams
galaxy-star galaxy
from lisboa, head over to MGM, take the shuttle to COD and spend your time there first only cross over to venetian. House of dancing water at COD, book earlier for best seats and to avoid disappointment. Dont forget the dragon treasure show at COD too. Try the Lord stow's egg tart at venetian.

check when is the off day for margaret cafe e nata, either tuesday, wed ot thursday..forget dy.

IMO, sometimes bus stops are nearer than the MTR stations. You can check for bus route and fare from this website:
http://www.nwstbus.com.hk/home/default.aspx?intLangID=1

By the way, I also noticed that you may take Star Ferry back to Wanchai after Avenue of Star, ferry terminal is just opposite the Clock Tower. I sugget you Google Map and check the direction and distance from Wanchai star ferry pier to Hotel JJ, see if this is a better option than taking MTR.... However, last ferry from TST to Wanchai is 10.50pm....

I've taken the vegetarian lunch at Po Lin Monastry before, it's good. Previously, I spent almost whole day at Lantau Island - Po Lin Monastry, Big Buddha, Wisdom Path, Tai O village. Then back to Citygate around 6pm...

Hope you can share some info on local food, travelling tips, itinerary, hotel for those who will be traveeling soon. My trip is 5d4n, KL-HK (reach at 10am+), Mcaau-KL (leaving at 9pm flight)
Wish to visit all the above parks if possible.

Btw, West Hotel at Yau Ma Tei quoted HKD1200 for their family room. Anyone stay here before? Hotel wise and location is it good? Compare to Casa Hotel?

Welcome your recommendation and feedback.

my aunt stayed at west hotel be4
i also initially want to book there but their family room isn't available in the "booking" section
need to special request from the website...where did u get the HKD1200 price from?

Hi guys,

I am going to HK on 25 April to 2 May and I am now started to think of my accomodation.

In order to get a better deal, it is advisable to:

1. book the thru online (booking, pagoda, etc); or

2. buy hotel packages from the upcoming Matta fair in March 16-18.

Appreciate if you guys could advise smile.gif

Survey thru those online website and see how much they offer

Then go Matta Fair survey, atleast u know what's the real deal then.

However, worth going thru so much hassle? biggrin.gif

Welcome to Hong Kong smile.gif

I am sorry as I never stay in hostel/hotel in Hong Kong, so I have no idea if it is good for family to stay.

However, the location is unbeatable for sure and you should be easy to travel around ... hope you will have pleasant time in here

Sham Tseng in Hong Kong? From Yau Ma Tei, there is no bus to go there but if you have luck to find red roof mini bus to Yuen Long, then you can drop in Sham Tseng.

Or you walk a little bit further to Mongkok, take bus 52X and drop in Sham Tseng ...

Regarding Fei Jei Snack ... I have learnt so much about food in Hong Kong by reading this forum as I never tried them before smile.gif Don't get me wrong, they have no problem but when I am in hometown, I don't have adventure as much as during my travel time.

This kind of snack shop should be open till to like 9-10pm ... I believe

Hope you would enjoy your stay in Hong Kong smile.gif

I have been to Yung Kee (Central) twice in year 2008 and year 2010.
Their food quality still maintain as the same even i went there in different timing.
Yung Kee is one star Michelin but i still think the price is reasonable.

3 century eggs + 1 例牌 portion Roasted goose + 1 char siew + 1 vege + 6 rice + desserts + tea = bill HKD 600++ and shared by 6 people

one ppl around rm40 after conversion

I check online and most of the hotel in Hong Kong is above RM1000 per night. So far the cheapest I found was RM600+. Anyone below RM200? Not need to be 3~4 star but definitely not those motel. As long as room is clean and secure.

You must have checked those super peak season!

rm200 should be Motel or hostel already

Yes, one thick sweater is sufficient. But I'd bring one cardigan and one light jacket or windbreaker.

I didn't even wear any sweater when I was there last week, just a long sleeved shirt + slacks.
In the MRT or Cab, its not that cold..
It's only quite cold when we are walking outside..
But I spent quite minimal time walking outside, most of the time in hotel, in office or in restaurants.

The dim sum there is... heavenly!

Love the Roasted Pigeon from this restaurant:
太平館餐廳 Tai Ping Koon Restaurant
40 Granville Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

I think around 15-20mins walk from your hotel

anyway, i can't think off any good dim sum which is nearby your hotel (i mean by walking distance)

Can get sport shoes at a lot of places. There are shops at Fa Yuen Street and Stanley Market. Prices can be at least 30% cheaper than here.

Also, look out for warehouse sales (check ads from free local newspaper). I bought my Raebok from warehouse sales...

what's reasonable for you and for me? atleast a budget.

1st timer to HK? shopping trip? mixed?

if mixed i suggest HK island, as more attractions located that side. If shopping kowloon area.

what's reasonable for you and for me? atleast a budget.

1st timer to HK? shopping trip? mixed?

if mixed i suggest HK island, as more attractions located that side. If shopping kowloon area.

Hi, yes first timer who wish to visit place such as symphony of light, star avernue and the peak.

reasonable for me is ard 200-4oo RM.

thanks!

I guess not only night time worth to go to the peak? morning also worth to go?


Added on March 8, 2012, 6:49 pmhmm want to clarify this.. if we bought the Madame Tussauds/ Tram/ Sky Terrace from ding ding..

then we take the bus at central? @@ i mean to The Peak.

So from Central station , exit J2 then i can see the peak tram? @@ am i right?


I found this..:

The Peak
1. Peak Tram from the lower Peak Tram terminus on Garden Road (reach it by taking bus 15C from the lay-by outside the Star Ferry pier in Central, or walk from MTR Central Station, Exit J2.)

I got HKD100 = RM39.40, consider good deal? from summit , money changer near kfc. I'm not going so soon but tot the rate is quite good so exchange some...

QUOTE(Ami Tsun @ Mar 6 2012, 02:57 PM)
Did you negotiate?  I'll go for 2.55 if changing RM5000, well, just HKD150 more, but good for 2 meals...  Anyway, if it's HKD100 to < RM40, consider good already.

It's up to you, if you think it's good, then go for it. It is about the same as last Sept. I was comparing back in 2009, was HKD100 to RM44!! That's why if it's below RM40, I consider it good liao lor.

Sometimes, also not worth the petrol and parking fees if going to check and compare few more times..

That time I went to the Peak from late afternoon to night, did the circular walk around 4pm, early dinner at 6pm, then Madame Tussauds, after that watch the night scenery before heading back.

Regarding the direction, what you found means to say that -
- the Peak tram is at the Lower Peak Tram terminus on Garden Road
- to reach the lower peak tram terminus, take bus 15C from outside Star Ferry Pier in Central, or
- WALK from MTR Central Station, Exit J2

Please check the HK map(Google map is good enough) for the walking direction, it's about 10mins walk.

Circular walk is a walking trail along Lugard Road at the Peak, jogging place for local, not many tourist but good scenery.

Have not walk from Central Station to the Peak before, not sure if the direction is clearly signed. That's why I asked you to Check the Map. Would take more than 10mins to walk if keep looking at and take pictures of the buildings(eg, Citibank, Bank of China).. ha ha.

I go Hk every month or executive programs. Taxis are expensive in Hk. Rm 3.50 per km its only cheaper than Tokyo in asia. Avoid taking taxi from the airport or across the tunnel from island to Kowloon. You have to pay two pay toll which is 45 hkd if they use the western tunnel and also hkd 45 for the lantau link to the airport. A trip from the airport to the island can cost u close to 100 in tolls alone. Don't put anything in the boot if u can as they charge 5hkd per piece

Yup, there are a few private bungalows! This is the alternative to Sky Terrace if want to see 360 deg HK view without paying and without the crowd.. Get to see some interesting trees and plants along the trail too.

i stayed there for two nights during my recent trip to HK...

overall not bad but their room are really small (but majority of hotel in HK are small unless you stay in 5 star hehehe)...

they have 8 rooms in total if im not mistaken..all the rooms are in different design and layout...on my first night i was in room 2..which im not quite happy with because they use electriv saver kind of light and it takes time for the light to be bright..i suffer under darkness when i reach back my room at night....second day we changed to another room (3 of us) so its much better bcoz its normal light...

the building have guard after 12am and they will lock the gate to enter the staircase...during my stay, the doorbell was spoilt and we all waited outside for half an hour before someone came and open the gate...called the hostel but noone picked up....anyway just a small matter, they apologised after that... no big deal smile.gif

Just came back from HK yesterday. Casa hotel is really highly recommended The location was really superb. Just few shops away from Yau Ma Tei station. And in terms of the cleanliness i give the hotel 9/10. Looks very new to me. Definitely will stay there again. Behind the hotel is temple street and there is a quite famous clay pot rice there also. Need to wait for quite long queue. The only problem for this hotel is too small. I don't think can fit in more than 2 person IMO. The toilet is absolutely small also. I have to shower in front of my basin and next to me is the toilet bowl. Very small.

The same toilet description for those at Bridal Tea House.

You'd be surprised that the attached bathroom/toilet at Dragon Hostel's room is much bigger.

And in terms of the cleanliness i give the hotel 9/10. Looks very new to me. Definitely will stay there again. Behind the hotel is temple street and there is a quite famous clay pot rice there also. Need to wait for quite long queue. The only problem for this hotel is too small. I don't think can fit in more than 2 person IMO. The toilet is absolutely small also. I have to shower in front of my basin and next to me is the toilet bowl. Very small.

i think i know which claypot rice u are saying. they call it pou chai fan rite.

The same toilet description for those at Bridal Tea House.

You'd be surprised that the attached bathroom/toilet at Dragon Hostel's room is much bigger.

Like HK very much, went there twice last year, have covered the tourist attractions plus some of the off beaten path. At the moment, monitoring Cathay Pacific's promo air fare, would love to go again any time....

Shatin famous for Roasted Pigeon.. u need go Open Rice and check which one is the famous one.

I suggest once check out then straight go Tung Chung, then put ur luggage in the lockers provided there. After shopping , then head straight to airport via the shuttle service.

Maybe u have 7hours of shopping biggrin.gif

I think AOS, surrounding got other places to visit like 1881 Heritage as well. So maybe should be fine.

I read that DSLR stuff can get around Mongkok, but avoid those main street with neon light shops. According to Tripadvisor they usually con/scam tourist.
I read about this thread in tripadvisor on DSLR stuff, go google biggrin.gif

Not all shuttle buses go to both ferry terminals. Their routes are very specific. Which casino's shuttle bus that you plan to take? Fyi, Venetian and Galaxy have shuttle buses departing to both terminals.

So far I never purchase ticket ferry online and never got a problem, but be there earlier since there is the morning crowd.

What do you plan to do at Sands? If not gambling, just skip Sands (nothing interesting) and Fisherman's Wharf (very deserted and waste of time).

To move between taipa and mainland, these casinos have shuttles connections:
venetian-sands
mgm-city of dreams
galaxy-star galaxy

So from wynn's head across the road to MGM for sight-seeing, then take bus to COD. COD-Venetians-Galaxy are connected by shuttle service too, or just walk.

1. check the website. its stated there.
2. Octopus HKD150, comes with preloaded HKD100. Cant answer u coz we dunno where u going to.

#Would suggest to take the tourist pass from MTR Which is around HKD200+++ which gives u 1 way free transit using the airport line + 3days unlimited usage for MTR line.

This one got 2 ways airport line transit but more expensive. So u ownself go and check it out.

if u plan to buy the tourist pass or the airport express, u can purchase on9 using HSBC card. got 40% discount.. if u travel alot on mtr, purchase tourist pass is worth it cz it gt unlimited 3 days pass. beside that if u purchase their tourist day pass or airport express, u can save 33% on disneyland, madame tussauds n sky100 observation deck.

or

u can purchase madame tussaud ticket thn take the ticket stub to ocean park for additional 10% discount on ticket entrance.

or

u can purchase 2 in 1 Combo Package (Peak Tram + Admission Ticket)

n etc..

hahahaha the toilet has always been the problem, u will find more toilet pictures of how small is it more than the actual pic of the room at tripadvisor lol.

However, glad its really good. coz i mostly will be taking Casa as well.

Mind share more of your trip?
*
Not sure what to share. HK is a well connected place. As long as you know the name of the place you want to go there is no way you will lost. Oh ya at the reception on 1st floor of Casa hotel there is many cards where you can take to enjoy certain discount like going to Madame you get 10 or 20% discount. Cant really remember.

Most important if you staying more than 3 days get yourself a Tourist Pass for MTR at HK airport. It cost you HKD 220 and when you return the card you will get back HKD 50. If you are going to Ngong Ping 360 and plan to ride crystal cable car it is shut off for maintenance 3mth since January.

where is Kwong Lun?? it's Kwun Tong?

in the first place, which type of transportation u plan to take to ur hotel? which hotel u live in? my suggestion is if u travel alot on MTR, better get the Octopus card or Airport Express travel pass.

MTR is more convenient. if u plan to take MTR, u gt 2 option. use Octopus card and travel to the station nearby ur hotel OR use Airport Express travel pass to the station nearby ur hotel. u can make use of the free airport express shuttle as well tongue.gif it travel between HK or Kowloon station, major hotels n railway interchanges.

if ur hotel is far away or nt walking distance from the MTR station but is listed as the service area for the free shuttle bus, u can opt to sit the shuttle because it stop in front of the entrance of the hotel.

wow.. u live quite outskirt huh? >_<

for Charterhouse Causewaybay hotel, unfortunately the shuttle bus is nt in the listed area, bt u can take MTR to MTR Causeway Bay (walking distance around 5-7 mins)..

as for the Panda hotel cz it located in Tsuen Wan, i'm nt really sure bout transportation to airport. bt traveling to downtown HK n TST, is nt a probs for u as ur hotel provide complimentary shuttle bus to some MTR station.. u gotta check wif ur hotel bout tat.

u can choose any transportation tat is convenient to u.. bt if u dun wanna spend so much on transportation, MTR n buses is the best choice

for map, just grab some in the airport after the customs... there is also hk360 magazine...

for gps... install sygic and download hong kong map..

with all that... :-) you won't lost...

airport express card can be topup after the 3rd day of unlimited ride.. after top up.. jz like the octopus card. u can get bek the refund plus the deposit..

T&C:

7. The Pass may be kept as a souvenir after use or returned to any Airport Express Customer Service Centre for the HK$50 refundable deposit and any remaining added stored value(3)
8. Value can be added to the Pass at any time to pay for travel on other transport or travel on days outside the 3 days free MTR travel or for use at locations displaying the Octopus logo.

(3)Refund of the deposit is subject to the deduction of any negative value or payment for damage to the Pass. If the remaining value stored on the Pass exceeds HK$500, it will be returned to the MTR Headquarters for processing. Customers may be required to cover any charges this may incur.

it jz work like the normal octopus card..

all u need is to survey or read more info of ur travel destination.. all stated on their website..

Depends u are planning for small or large group. If large group just take tours

However the disadvantage would be tours usually will take you to those factories to buy jeweleries, herbs or chinese medicine etc etc wish is really waste of time.

Self plan can suit all your needs/interest, for eg i dont like going temples so i can cut out all the temples.

If u really put in effort to plan, then i think unforeseen situation can minimized however still better than going to places that i dont like and waste time. IMO.

If anyone of you guys here had iPhone or iPad can download this apps call MTR Mobile. Very convenient. It shows you the distance and price from 1 place to 1 place. And it also shows you from A to B where you need to change train. I used it all day long and its offline. Just be careful when it has updates you can't launch the apps till you update it. So be sure you update it before you go HK.

For Muslim friend... there is a lots of halal restaurant around Kowloon. Just prepare the money cos it's more expensive but worth to eat. Every day I eat rice there. They even can delivery at no extra changes. I have some menu and addresses. I will update on my own blog soon.

For Muslim friend... there is a lots of halal restaurant around Kowloon. Just prepare the money cos it's more expensive but worth to eat. Every day I eat rice there. They even can delivery at no extra changes. I have some menu and addresses. I will update on my own blog soon.

That's good. Did you manage to get Halal Dim Sum?

Hahaha same here, my intention is food and shopping but my other half is shopping and sightseeing.

Basically,

1. BBQ pork/Charsiew = Joy Hing Roasted Meat, Wan chai

2. Wantan mee = Mak's Noodle Central branch

3. Roasted Goose = Yung Kee Central

4. Polo Bun = Kam Wah Cafe. Prince Edward

5. Cha Chan Teng = Mido Cafe YMT, Australia Dairy Co, Jordan.

6. Dessert = Auntie Sweet and Honeymoon

7. Snacks = Fei Jie's Giant Octopus. Mongkok

8. Rice = 4 Season Claypot Rice, YMT

9. Dimsum = Lin Heung Tea House

Still planning whether to go Stanley to eat or not lol.. Might check and see if got those HK style Hot pot and soya bean sticky rice, yau char kwai and cheong fun!!!!!! hhahahaa. still searching..

Hahaha same here, my intention is food and shopping but my other half is shopping and sightseeing.

So far i use this openrice app and website. Also some recommendation from northasian from her foodblog.

Basically,

1. BBQ pork/Charsiew = Joy Hing Roasted Meat, Wan chai

2. Wantan mee = Mak's Noodle Central branch

3. Roasted Goose = Yung Kee Central

4. Polo Bun = Kam Wah Cafe. Prince Edward

5. Cha Chan Teng = Mido Cafe YMT, Australia Dairy Co, Jordan.

6. Dessert = Auntie Sweet and Honeymoon

7. Snacks = Fei Jie's Giant Octopus. Mongkok

8. Rice = 4 Season Claypot Rice, YMT

9. Dimsum = Lin Heung Tea House

Still planning whether to go Stanley to eat or not lol.. Might check and see if got those HK style Hot pot and soya bean sticky rice, yau char kwai and cheong fun!!!!!! hhahahaa. still searching..

Yeah! Auntie Sweet was good and that's appeared in TVB series, "When Heaven Burns". Check out my blog: http://forum.allabouthongkong.com/index.ph...%93%81-tin-hau/

How about this Malaysian Chinese Restaurant

http://g.co/maps/88s5u

Don't ask me... I not go inside, just saw it a few times when on Jordan road.

Malaysian Chinese Restaurant - currry briquete, red bean ice

Malaysian Chinese Restaurant is a half-decade-old restaurant that is famous for its curry dishes. It's decoration is of very tipical 60's-70's style, after several major renovation, it remains the same style.
Location : G/F., 12 Jordan Road, Jordan, Kowloon.
Phone : (852)23673552, (852)23665302.
Cuisine : Hong Kong style Malaysian Chinese food.
Specialty : currry briquete(beef stew) with rice, red bean ice dessert. Red bean ice dessert is a Hong Kong specialty, many tea restaurants sells this, but Ma Wah uses shave ice, with non-diluted evaporated milk, so it tastes much better.

found this..

yea, not bad..overall good..but during my stay, i changed 2 rooms for 2 nights...1st night is double bed, 2nd night is for 3 person coz my friend join us...feedback is, location = convenient...but during my 1st night, the room is equipped with energy-saving lights, end up i gotta wait for hours for the light to be bright...its like living in the dark doh.gif but not all the rooms are with energy saving lights... 2nd night, the toilet a bit smelly..complaint and they washed it but still the same..anyway i only go back to the hotel to sleep..so overall is ok biggrin.gif

or else u can try GoldenWave..its clean and not expensive..and the owner is very friendly..my next trip in June, i will be staying there too smile.gif its at jordan...

i think better to book through the hotel instead of going through agoda... smile.gif

I bought most my ticket from dingding(hkzhan.com) then found out
http://www.160trip.com/shopmall/product.asp?Gid=272
is cheaper and more convenience than dingding
160 just need to pay and directly go to the park and tell them your name.

if u have larger groups, company trips or with elderly ppl, they prefer to have organised trip rather than F&E type which sometimes might have alot of unforeseen things happening.

it cost only hk$88, it contain $88 prepaid value, then can use $78 inside the $88 to load 7days unlimited data usage.

for my 7days trip over there, satisfied H+ data coverage.

the prepaid package can get it from departure hall 1010 CSL store.

the location is convenient
but when u wan to get in yr hotel
it is adventurous as there are many nigerians, indians, pakistani, siamese and many other foreigners hanging around
personal belonging should be handle with high alert
u have to queue for the lift, the lift is small and only can pack 5-6 person
but once you reach the hostel. things are quite different as it still provide you a clean and quiet environment

i think it depends on which hotel u stay in.. usually hotel won't charge u for tat.. so far all d hotel i stayed in b4 allowed us to put our luggage at their luggage room (arrival early b4 check in or after check out b4 departure).. d one i stayed in recently in hk allowed us to put our luggage there without charge.. my departure is 6.15pm n we dy check out early @ 10.30am n went 4 last min shopping spree tongue.gif

sweat.gif aiks.. tot i can try out ur hotel nxt time, bt since u say luggage haf to be charged, forget bout it thn.. lolz

er.. i haf different opinion on those who wanna speak in Mandarin. some HK ppl do understand jz tat dun like to converse using the language. n dun look down on China travelers. China ppl r very rich lately. HK ppl luv China customers cz they willing to spend alot of $$ on those stuffs.. especially branded stuffs.. some may look sluggish bt whn u c them from top to toe, all is branded u kno.. biggrin.gif once i inside the Prada shop, the China gal shout at the sales gal cz she treat n serve her badly or nt gd enough. quickly another sales gal help to attend the China customer. They dun wanna lose the customer as she is buying 3-4 bags plus a few shoes at once!! imagine tat.. tongue.gif

imho, one can speak in Canto if their Canto is gd and dun mix wif other languages lor else will treated u badly or look down at u. I haf no probs wif tat speaking Canto over there wif some mixture of Eng.. their mindset straight tot we r Singaporeans dy.. lolz..

nt much sales during the time i go ler.. H&M sales only.. sweat.gif

imported stuffs from Japan n Korea is expensive.. Fred Perry n Polo Ralph Lauren clothes is more exp thn u buy over in Msia. Perhaps it's made n imported frm JP.. Bread n Butter is cheap over there.. Prada cheap. Coach price nt much different. Longchamp slightly cheaper abit only. some brands jz pass by n look only. no ask for the price.. HK has a few shops (ISA, etc) tat sell all all sort of luxury branded stuffs jz like those M'sia Milan Station. dunno whether it's trustable or genuine or nt bt price is more cheaper thn u buy from retail shop as they haf alot of discount given.

no time discovered new food places as time dun permit.. even some planned food places oso can't manage to go. been to Lin Heung Tea House. portion is big bt din manage to taste on alot of choices as dim sum usually run out (all rush to snatch their food dy sweat.gif ) we r nt as fast as those local HK ppl.. lolz.. the place is hard to find la.. waste some times on finding the shop. even ask the local, they oso dunno doh.gif

erm.. it applies to almost all d hotel i booked / reserved previously...
depends on which hotel u plan to book i guess.. plus if alot of customers reserved the room dy n left nt much room, usually the price won't be any different. book or reserved early usually gt early bird promo package. b4 i go, i survey the prices of the hotel is cheap thn whn the time is nearer.. the price is getting more pricey..

try search booking.com or agoda or hotel itself

Nop i didnt look down on them, just dont like their attitude those from china, very very lousy.. so i dont think it is good to speak mandarin over there, because those hong kong people will think we are from china, not sure why they dont know how to differentiate ppl frm china/malaysia/singapore/taiwan, jst as opinion la~ of cause if you want to speak mandarin there it is ok =))

As a frequent traveller to Hk , the rule of thumb is speak English if you want to be treated with respect. Dont bother speaking Cantonese as they will treat u like just any other person. Many of them are not comfortable speaking english and they have less room to show their habitual and ingrained arrogance. Only speak Cantonese when you don't have a choice

Many of them are not comfortable speaking english and they have less room to show their habitual and ingrained  arrogance. Only speak Cantonese when you don't have a choice

yea. i agree.. i only speak canto in those "dai pai dong" or "cha chan deng".. dun wanna get scold by those workers.. imagine speaking eng in those places.. hahaha.. previously my fren (dunno much bout canto) trying to speak in canto to those "cha chan deng" worker in the dim sum place saying she wanna haf "fun cheong" rofl (supposedly she wanna order "cheong fun") the worker react so big n scold her bek who r u calling "fun cheong"??

usually i speak eng unless in certain places.. n d most funniest part is whn we speak eng.. those ppl around us will react very big n look at u in a kind of surprise way.. lolz..

ya TST is a nice place.. bt hotel near Mong Kok area nwadays is nt cheap anymore.. yea i came back on 31/3 6.15pm AA flight.. it's same flight as urs?

nt our canton is diff from them. is our Msian Chinese ppl speak d wrong canto. Msian mix up wif other languages dy. for eg Msian like to say raining as "lok sui" actually it's wrong cz it's mean go into d water.. d correct way of saying is "lok yu". i oso dun und y ppl here like to say "lok sui" i feel weird too..

yea u r right. da pao is 2 pack d dead body.. correct way is "ngoi mai" or they preferably say the hk slang "hang kai".. Mong Kok is pronoun as Mong Kok is the name previously bt present name it pronoun as Wong Kok..

not exactly.... near to TST, there a shop selling souvenir... 2 person can speak malay but not indonesian malay... when both talk each other... sound like philipine...

There is one restaurant name Ziafat - Pakistani, Indian and Arabian restaurant, there is one girl there can speak english, malay, chinese and arab. On the 1st time i reach the place she told me 'Baru je 30 orang Malaysia makan kat sini tadi'.... that group heading to Ocean Park after that.

My experience at oversea...

Hong Kong 1st time 10 years ago - I dine with ambassador from... (sorry cannot tell from where but not from indonesia) - he speak indonesian with me... rest of his friend just keep quiet... no one understand except my boss.

Japan - went to akibahara (electronic city) - heard 'Harga murah, boleh datang ke kedai kami' - I looking around wondering who say that.. found out there is one Japanese behind me... asked him, he say, he learn malay during his work at embassy.. actually our embassy at japan have a free class for their worker every thursday... and while I at embassy, a girl come chit chat.. she say 'Saya suka makan kuih malaysia'...

Paris - while looking for Eiffel tower souvenir (under the tower la).. one indian 'abang mau beli apa. macam2 saya ada'... 'ada rokok gudang garam tak? - he learn malay from our student there which stay in same place... he from india actually.

At Waterloo station, UK... getting a passport chop before left UK to Paris... heard 'apa khabar'... again... i looking around.. actually the guy at the counter ask me that...

Dubai.. there is one shop selling fabrics, seller can speak malay... famous shop.. under the glass on the table you can found hundred of business card belong to cuctomer from malaysia (including mine).

After that all happen to me... I always use malay when I travel... at least speak a few words. And must be careful too...

At work now... 2 australian I know can understand malay... (but both never work in malaysia).

i like nite market as well bt tis round i wanna focus on other attractions, food around TST n HK island. so i choose hotel near TST for the sake of convenient. biggrin.gif so the 1 i saw probably is u. holding a bouquet of flowers passing thru the custom tongue.gif
if one use to speak without mixing of other languages into their sentences, there won't be any probs.. bt it's nt possible in Msia.. tongue.gif

sellers in nite market street usually kno a few languages cz they attend to various ppl b4.. tongue.gif

christmas sales is mid december till february, that time is winter which is not hot. but then since it's winter, very much the thing that sell won't suits you

july to august is also a huge sales season, but that time is like summer, which is hot, hehe, but then item selling will be appropriate for us then.

Be ready for the Typhoon. sweat.gif

Last year news
Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Central Hong Kong's streets were emptied as Typhoon Nesat swept gale-force winds and rain into the city. Banks including HSBC Holdings Plc and Standard Chartered Plc closed branches, and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. canceled equities and futures trading for the day. The storm felled trees and ripped bamboo scaffolding from buildings, while bus, tram and ferry services were suspended and at least 38 flights were delayed at the airport. (Source: Bloomberg)

Yup, that was just the day before we arrived HK. On our first day there, typhoon signal #1, then became signal #3 over night. During the day, a bit windy and scattered rains. Went to the museum of Coastal Defence, but was restricted to visiting the indoor display only, the outdoor area was cordoned off. On the day we left, seems like was getting worse and it was heavy rain on the way to HKIA. Lucky to be back without flight delayed.

If possible, brands such as LV buy from Europe better since I bought one and it saves me around half of the price in KL.

i dunno where u luv shopping or nt.. depends on personal preferences. as for me, one day shopping for me in HK is nt enough.. lolz

btw, u won't be shopping by non stop walking ma... enjoy shopping while tasting their food as well.. since u r nt wif tours, u r nt rushing..

they haf tons of places to shop cater for diff types level of ppl.. from malls (high end, mid range, low end, specialty) to street/nite market..

well, it's nt like SG Orchard where u will c straight few row of malls.. some places there are a few malls nearby where u can walk jz like Bkt Bintang to Pavillion to Sg Wang.. some malls are nt bt distance nt tat far oso. can b reach via MTR.

Your first visit to HK, what would you like to do more - sightseeing or shopping or food hunting?

If you are intereseted in more of sightseeing, then there are still plenty of places of attractions to visit. For eg, The Peak and Madame Tussaud's wax museum is worth visiting too. And that could easily fill up one evening.

Friday - perhaps a visit to Wong Tai Shin temple and Nan Lian Garden in the morning, then go to Shatin New World Plaza for Snoopy World and shopping.

Sat - if no intention to hang around town, then can consider check out hotel after breakfast. If your flight allows early check in and baggage drops, then go to airport directly. After check in , you can take bus to Tung Chung. If early check in not allowed, go to Tung Chung directly and use the luggage storage facility there. Assuming all this by 11a.m, you should still have time to visit the Big Buddha AND/OR shopping at Citygate outlet mall.

luxury stuffs u can find in retail shops outside or inside the mall. price is the same jz that one-stop brand-name outlets shop such as ISA n other name (can't recall) do sell luxury stuffs lower thn the retail outlets. bt choices is limited n some is off seasons one. if during sales time, u can get at the retail shop cz it's cheap. HK local brand, usually is cheap such as G2000, Bossini, Giordano, U2 & Baleno bt it's nt luxury

u reserve the hotel bt u dunno the location? sweat.gif u can go shopping nearby Causeway Bay.. ur hotel gt offer complimentary shuttles to Times Square & HKCEC. u can stroll around tat area lo if u wan.. or go further to Central.. if u dunwan in HK island.. can go to Kowloon district
