Unfortunately, we don’t read chinese, we can speak cantonese..hopefully it’s not too hard to get our food by finger pointing.sighss..

hi bonnie, thanks for your lovely comments. u must go to this australian dairy co. near to jordon station, they serve the best scramble egg in the world. n of coz the whole breakfast in a jiffy experience is not to be missed. they are not just a food outlet, its a good place to experience the HK culture by ordering the breakfast set A, B, C and gulp it all down in 10 min bcoz the queue out there is just too long.
would recommend u to try wantan mee and dim sum too. its very different from we have here .
[Reply]
should you advise of how much to bring for food, shopping & transport?

hi there, your post is amazing, this the 1st time i browse on which recommend from my friend. Im thinking to plan a trip to HK around Feb with my sis for 5days. which area do you reckon is the best and convenience we can stay? I love nice foods, so def gonna try all the foods you reckon and i love yumcha, which place is the best to feast in? is public transport convenience to access around places? I wanna go to Disneyland too, I saw your stay in Disneyland which amazing, how much is that? I am bit lost of planning the trip, will be good if you can suggest. Thanks~~ Love your post!!

Hi Alice, bridal tea house (RM 200/night ) is nt bad in terms of location, if u dun mind the reli small room n that its located in temple street. if budget is nt an issue, u can try butterfly by wellington at central, or luxe manor at tsimtsatsui.
for yumcha, go to Tim Ho Wan, but be there as early as 945, they are open at 10, and there will be a long queue outside the premise.
http://kampungboycitygal.com/2009/08/hk-trip-day-4-tim-ho-wan-dim-sum-specialty-shop-race-course-time-square-taiyaki-hot-sandwich-mido-cafe/
Yeah public transport is not an issue, just get urself an octopus card n u can go anywhere u want.
DH is about RM 800 – 1000 per night. Worth it if u have 4 person to share the room

Do you mind to send me the details and whereabout to go and whereabout to eat in Hong Kong & Macau.
Besides, may I know more information on hotel, airport transfer & ferry to Macau?
Coz I am planning to go 1Day trip in Macau. Wondering the time enough to rush back to HK at nite.
Kindly advice.
Thank you so much!

Really appreciate it!! Coz I kinda worry hotel is fully booked soon & not enough time to shop in the short period. LOL

Hi Shuet Yee
Thanks for referring to our blog. The good food list tcan be downloaded from our side bar, its an excel file. While for places to go, you can refer to our detailed trip itinerary in year 2009 and 2010. You can click into each of the links to get the details that you wanted – information on hotel, airport transfer & ferry to Macau, etc.
For example, info on ferry to macau can be found here – http://kampungboycitygal.com/2009/10/hk-macau-trip-day-5-leitaria-i-son-ruin-of-st-paul-poon-weng-kee-cookies/
airport transfer info can be found here – http://kampungboycitygal.com/2011/02/hong-kong-day-1-cosmo-kowloon-hotel-bon-bon-cafe-best-che-zai-min/
Day trip to Macau is viable, you can just go to the important land marks and all. Hope it helps.

Hello,
I’m planning to go Hong Kong in February 2012. From the blog post, it seems that going around Hong Kong town is easy but is it safe in Hong Kong town area? Also, I’m planning to stay at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, is it far from town?
thanks..

kampungboycitygal Reply:
December 8th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
hi pui san, yes it’s safe and convenient to go around kl. it is advisable to stay at hk disneyland only when ur visiting disneyland, just for 1 night for the experience. or else its way too far from town.

December 18th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
ohh.. thanks for the advice.. we booked 2 nights stay in TST, Park Hotel and 2 nights in HKDL hotel as we got the 2 days pass.. Btw, is it easy to walk from TST MTR station to Harbour City and from Harbour City to Avenue of Stars? Also, is it true that the shops such as Quicksilver in Citygate selling apparel at a sale price?
thanks…

Hi, like the trip overview so much. It help a lot in our planning. By the way, we are going to HK in this December. Wish to have Chirstmas trip around HK. Wondering is it great to have night stay in Disneyland during chirstmas eve. Some how, It might be not possible because the accomodation seem like need to be booked earlier. Will see and would you know is there any way to go to HK city central from Disneyland late at night, or maybe go back there from HK city central late except by cab.
