Round Up: 6D5N at Hong Kong & Macau

Posted by kampungboycitygal in Hong Kong, Macau, Travel. 76 Comments

Warning: 53 pictures ahead! Please read after the cut

We’re back from our trip finally! It was a very fruitful trip in terms of eating. We ate as much food as our stomach and hollow leg could hold, blame it on the makan list that we have put together based on some recommendations from openrice.com (Hong Kong no. 1 Food Forum). It’s no exaggeration to say that only another few hundreds hours of running drastically could work away the flab.

Here’s a round up of where we’ve been and what we have tried. I’m going to blog ala pinkpau style for now because detailed posts will be coming up very soon.

Day 1: 紅茶館 Bridal Tea House Hotel, 澳洲牛奶公司 Australian Dairy Company @ Jordon, 麥文記麵家 Mak Man Kee Noodles House @ Jordon, The Peak, Ladies Street, 貢茶 Gong Cha Milk Tea @ Mongkok, 肥姐小食店 Fei Jie Snacks Shop @ Mongkok, 萬家燒餅皇 Siu Beng Wong @ Mongkok

#20 Ate Chris Patten (the ex governer of HK)’s favourite egg tart at Tai Cheong

#21 Had a great time shopping at H&M Queens Road Central & Canton Road (only 2 outlets in HK!)

#23 The old Clock Tower near the Star Ferry concourse at Tsim Sha Tsui

#24 Avenue of Stars at the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Promenade.

Hi Patrick, yeah one day will do actually, but rmb to go to taipa village, about 15 min ride from macau’s main island. shall you need any help, do not hesitate to drop us an email

[Reply]
Posted by Pink Stilettos on May 28, 2009 at 12:48 pm

aaa…HK is one of the best places to shop, no? We went there for our honeymoon last year. Surprisingly it was easy to find Halal food as there were many Arab/Indian food. But I’ve to say, one of the best makan places is Todai Japanese Sushi & Seafood buffet. We went there for like 2-3 times sebab tak larat nak stuffed ourselves with more kebabs! :p

As always, nice pictures!

Hi I’ll be going to HK and Macau, flying to macau 1st, will spend a day and a night there,after that will proceed to HK, will spend another 4-5days at HK, do we need any visa to hk/macau? How about transport to hk from/to macau? Is tat one day one night enough for macau? And may I have the details(include prices and comment) of ur accomod,transport(especially transport to the eateries)? I also heard that HK ppl look down at 內地人, is it better for us to speak in chinese/english? I heard tat they will treat 內地人bad, this makes me worry as I cant speak Cantonese…

p/s: I hv ur blog linked from my blog =) Hv been following ur updates since long time ago.. Like ur detailed post abt traveling and food! Keep going… cheers =D

hi ruth: you can take a ferry to macau, please refer to my macau post. theres 3/4 ferry companies and it costs about rm 140 for return. you can take a cab or a bus. actually most places are quite near to each other. like in macau island we just walk around. u just need to take a bus from macau island to taipa village and coloane village.

i’m not too sure because i spoke to them in cantonese. most hk/macau people are quite unfriendly, so no matter wat u speak it doesn’t make a difference haha

glad tat u like our blog. keep visiting ya
