Hey guys, how much for food budget should I prepare for Hong Kong, Macau and Shen Zhen? I am not sure how much the food cost for daily assuming 3 meals a day. I am planning a trip for 3 people - 13 days on November.
Did some research, the ticket will cost about 1.7k for 3 people - Air Asia. Accommodation would cost about 2.5k - still looking at Airbnb and hotel. Checked JJhotel and it's expensive on November! My budget is around 150 per night for 3 person. This post has been edited by Duckies: Nov 15 2017, 10:27 AM |

QUOTE(inachi @ Nov 15 2017, 02:52 PM) A normal meal in Hong Kong is around RM25/pax..Of coz sometimes u can get slightly lower, but do buffer for some meals when you guys wanna splurge.. Oh the food cost is kinda like South Korea. So would say prepare RM2.5k for 3 pax. Hotel in Hongkong is very pricey though..U pay RM200 per night and u could only get a "just-enough" size. Is 2.5k for 3 pax for 14 days is enough? I do notice the accommodation part is costly in Hong Kong. Most of the places barely fits the bed only 4200 for food + 1700 for flights + 2500 for accommodation + xx entrance ticket + xx transportation...10k enough?

QUOTE(inachi @ Nov 15 2017, 04:41 PM) I spend RM3500 for 8 days..I don think 10k is enough. LOL!!!! RM2500 for accomodation, i really don't think its enough.. And depends on what entrance ticket, if u wanna go place like Ocean Park or what, it's gonna cost u another amount of money. ANd don't forget all the miscellaneous items, like ur souvenirs..they cost a lot too. And from Hong Kong to Macau, the ferry going to cost u extra RM300.. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Nov 16 2017, 11:01 AM) Don't under budget, better to over budget and spend less later on. Hmmm this is harder than expected Meal at RM100 for 3 pax is not impossible but better to loosen up your spending to make it less restrained. The regular breakfast that consists of 1 macaroni & soup + eggs + bread + a drink (hot) costs approximately HKD$48-$50. If you wish to try other things such as Polo Bun, toast etc you'll have to spend extra. Not to forget, there's lunch and dinner that usually costs abit more. You'll want to eat dimsum too All in all, suggestion is to budget RM150-RM200 for food so that you can enjoy without feeling tied up. And yes accommodation is expensive and I . I stayed in JJ Hotel but I went in summer, so the price was decent. In peak, it won't be cheap. Don't lump your calculation; always estimate with per pax cost rather than overall spending. Your xx entrance ticket and transport tak boleh pakai lo. You need to have a good estimation for those. Don't look down on these, I spent few hundred alone on Klook by getting their packages for attractions. And transport ain't cheap depending on where you want to go. |

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Nov 16 2017, 11:47 AM) Sufficient if you do it ala backpacker's style. Hostel, cheap food, less visit on paid tourist attractions etc. Going with parents so can't really back packer's style. If I am going with friends I'll just stay in dorms to save cost QUOTE(inachi @ Nov 16 2017, 11:55 AM) I stayed at Hotel MK at Mongkok. Yea saw that as well. Apparently a lot of the accommodation is like that. No windows and small yet costly I paid 200+ for a single room with no window. But i would say the location is good la..perhaps u can get a slightly cheaper one, but location might not be that good la.. |

QUOTE(kirakun @ Nov 16 2017, 01:47 PM) I'll be going next year March for 8d7n trip for 2. Budgeted 9k. But then I'll spend around 6-7 days in Hong Kong, the rest will be on Macau and Shen Zhen which I think...won't be as expensive? So yea i guess your estimate of 10k for 3 for 13d trip is a little too tight. Rough breakdown as follows:- Accomodation - 2.5k Food - 1.8k Tickets for Entrance(Place of Attraction) - 3k Macau Ferry Round Trip - 350 Transport & Misc - 1.35k Btw, 3k for ticket fees??? QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Nov 16 2017, 03:00 PM) Since you're going with parents - make it more relaxing for them Nice guide! Will definitely do all of the above!Some of the things I really enjoyed doing in Hong Kong (and which I will recommend): - Aqualuna Cruise Ride : this is pricey, but really good. Worth the money in my opinion. Link: https://www.klook.com/activity/659-aqualuna...sail-hong-kong/ - Lantau Island : it's very pleasant with nice view. Enjoy the Ngong Ping Cable car ride. Opt for the Crystal Cabin for a more exciting experience. Link: https://www.klook.com/activity/45-ngong-ping-360-hong-kong/ - Horse Race Course : i think it's very nice to experience what locals do. You can check out the race horsing at Happy Valley on Wed night or, Sha Tin Racecourse on Sunday afternoon onwards. I went to the one in Sha Tin and spent more than half a day there. Really an awesome experience It's HKG$5 to enter the race course and you can just tap your Octopus card to get in (or buy ticket at the counter). Don't worry if you don't know how to bet. There's Customer Service counters and "tours" - Madade Tussauds wax museum was fun as well. Another must go is definitely the Symphony of Lights. Through Klook, you have a special queue counter and the price for these activities are cheaper/ lower than walk-in rate.

QUOTE(sweet_pez @ Jan 4 2018, 05:51 PM) It's just an indication. Yea was trying to scout some other airlines. So far I've only bought from Air Asia for all the trips I've been. So was wondering was there any cheaper alternatives other than Air Asia I believe for AA price roughly goes between RM600-RM1k all inclusive. Anything lower is promo rate. MAS will cost you between RM800-RM1k+; not sure about other airline. MAS Sale will give you a good price. Bought mine for RM542 return flight via MAS, but that was in middle of September. It was summer and non-peak period. |

QUOTE(inachi @ Jan 6 2018, 09:53 PM) u just have to subscribe to their enewsletter and followed all their social media. like the promotion from cathay pacific, i also saw it from their facebook ads. and i bought it instantly. QUOTE(Chester @ Jan 7 2018, 08:02 AM) I flew MAS, AA and Cathay to HK. I think MAS around 1k.. AA around 800++ and Cathay around 1.2k.. but varies could be due too different month of the year and different promo..

QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 8 2018, 10:47 AM) AA for RM600, is it inc of seat booking, food & baggages & misc taxes? If not u need to add RM200+ to each return ticket. Hmm 730 per pax still need about 2.1k for 3 persons AA promo sometime can be as low as RM400 return but once you add-on.. it will be ~RM600. Well u can say cheaper than others at this rate.. My recent trip to HK during christmas was on SIA wth transit at changi. Eventhough longer but I got the chheapesr promo at RM730/pax..all to HK and even got the free transit voucher of s$20/pax (RM61) to shop at changi... Just checked again for travel period Nov 5-17. It's about 1.4k for 3 persons minus food, insurance, baggage and others. I think I can opt out food. Baggage also dont need 20kg for each...I think 40kg for 3 person is okay. Add here and there...1.6k macam boleh settle Still wondering if 1.6k for 3 persons is the cheapest I can find This post has been edited by Duckies: Jan 8 2018, 10:57 AM |

QUOTE(nordingh @ Jan 8 2018, 11:09 AM) My trip is on next March, AA is RM3811 return ticket for 6 persons which is included 12 tickets, 12 meals, 12 advanced seat fees and 120kg baggage (50/70 split). Oh, I dont actually know what AA insurance covers but I took it for the peace of mind. AXA Smart Traveler VIP package insurance is better?I never take AA Insurance because doesn't cover everything, just for flight. Normally I take AXA Smart Traveler VIP package, cost only Rm234 for 6 persons. This one cover start from 12:00am on the of departure day until 11:59pm on the day of arrival. Eh, your AA ticket is quite good pricing but not sure if it's better cause more people |

QUOTE(nordingh @ Jan 8 2018, 11:39 AM) I prefer more coverage. Eh, the AXA insurance have to buy separately as in there's no option to opt it in when buying the plane ticket in AA?You can refer here for more details. One more thing, I know where is AXA Hong Kong, my family take a pic next to the AXA building during last visit. For the ticket, I compare between 3 airlines for the same date. AA - 3.8K Mas - 4.5K Malindo - 6.5K |

QUOTE(nordingh @ Jan 8 2018, 12:03 PM) AA only offer TuneProtect (their own company). Ah I see. Will consider it!Off-course need to buy separately but everything is online now. AXA will email your policy after payments. If not mistaken, online purchase can get 25% discounts as last year. EDIT: still 25% discounts as today. QUOTE(sj0217 @ Jan 8 2018, 12:20 PM) I recently bought a ticket to HKG by Mas, travel date on May 2018, the price is around RM520 (promo ticket) Hmm May...would prefer to go during autumn or winter cause I like cold Bought another ticket in same flight / time, the price has increased to RM62x.xx |

QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 8 2018, 02:46 PM) Food is cheap RM15 only. Tge baggages & seats are the expensive part. Unless u wanna sit seperately which they surely do if u don't buy seat. To change seats with others on flight sometime can be very irritating to others hor...as what I experienced. Hmm so averagely it's abut 600-800 for plane ticket. Thanks for information. Will keep looking for promotions from cathay and MAS. Or if there's any promotion somebody pls tag me ya Not sure hk, but choosing 1 seat was RM42 going to australia & baggage 20kg was RM119 on my aax trip to melbourne recently. That's why I said u need xtra RM200/pax haha. The RM730 was b4 minus the shopping coucher of rm60. If u inc this, the ticket price was just RM670. With 30kg baggage/pax + food, dr8nks, liquir as well as ice-cream.. |
