is the pearl the only western restaurant on the peak?

Shopping can try Dong Chong outlet but i only managed to get a AX Tee, interested in some shoes and shirts but no size available.

Maybe can try Esprit at TST - i miss it on my trip last week and will surely go for it come April biggrin.gif

If you are a lady you will go crazy with all the Sasa outlets laugh.gif

The cable car at NgongPing 360' is about 30 minutes/way, this has not taken the queue time into consideration. I went on a weekday afternoon 11-ish and queue for more than 30 minutes. *The queue for crystal cable car cabin with glass flooring was much longer than the standard ones

To walk up and down - minimum 90 minutes haven't take into consideration of makan time (Must try the tau fu fah at the canteen, ignore all the shops you will passby).

I would say half a day for decent walk around and photo taking.

Can try Macau if you are planning to visit Macau - i managed to get RM308/pax to Macau for this April. Then just take those speed boat to HK. Last minute can try Cathay - i think i flew for less than 1k earlier this year with very last minute buy. (MAS code share with Cathay)

Halal food might be tough cos even fast food chain serve pork.

For cable car - i posted this few pages back

Student price is cheaper 10%, some cards also have 10% discount, I used Amex that time and can get 10% disc

But do take note seat is limited and can't choose, even if you buy at counter.

Maybank Amex?

I actually took the combo hard rock hotel + 2 tickets of HOD. I think that's a good deal.

Enjoy my stay at hard rock, very large room.

6 person fitted into 2 rooms no issue. Bought additional 2 tickets of HOD when go there since there's 6 of us.

Bought the cheapest ticket there. If budget not an issue to you better to get those near stage seat (2nd exp?). That's better experience (have risk getting splashed, but not that major)

I must say the show did not disappoint, one of the highlights in my short Macau stay. I went only 2 days 1 night in between my HK trip

Thanks for the feedback - the package was on my radar as well but doing a detail calculation it show that its much more worthwhile for me to purchase separately.

Will try to catch the show if possible biggrin.gif
