Hi, is this hk taxi calculations accurate?

Kasi we're a group of 7 na baka mas ok if we take 2 taxis na lang instead of mtr

[smoothie]

Yes, More or less. Naalala ko Airport to Mongkok around $200. Halos same distance and layo ng lugar

Will be in hk next week. Super excited! Carry na kaya ang shorts and fitflops? Di na ba malamig? Sana wag maulan. Thanks 

[travelling_daisy]

^^ kami din, sis princess lorraine. Leaving this Sunday and almost done packing. Mostly shorts and summer outfit na ang dala ko. Kaya na kaya walang jacket? Will be bringing light cardigan na lang siguro just in case... Excited na kami especially the kids! ... Praying for a good weather all throughout our stay. 😇

[princess lorraine]

^happy trip sis! Ako naman sa april 19 pa kasi mauna muna kami sa guangzhou then we'll take the bullet train to hk. Have fun sis! Enjoy

[hime]

Currently in HK. Like everyone, I preferred bringing shorts. However, raining here from time to time. And chilly pa din. Good thing I brought a pair of jeans, a jacket and my boots. Although naka running shoes talaga lang yung plan ko. From Macau, super lamig din ng weather. Buti na lang nagstop yung rain and di maalon.

We had dinner at Cafe De Coral last night. Checked Avenue of Stars before that. Staying at Standford Hotel. Naka promo yung room ng 699/night. No breakfast pero madami naman makakainan sa labas. Okay for couple travelers since maliit yung rooms (usual in HK) but maayos naman. Went to Golden Crown din to buy Disney tickets (in between StanChart & Citi) sa 5F yung reception.

Super lapit lang ng hotel namin from Ladies Market, etc. Though napansin ko sa mga tao dito antamad mag-English. Well, we saw one show yesterday na Mandarin nga most of them refuse to learn yun pa kayang English. Medyo nagfrufrustrate si hubby kapag siya nakikipag usap.

Anyway, we will be off to Disney na. Enjoy mga sis!

[princess lorraine]

^thanks for the update about the weather sis, enjoy!

^^Sis do visit Tim Ho Wan for a dimsum experience. Super sulit talaga ng punta namin dun, and not that pricey as compared to Din Tai Fung We went to the Sham Shui Po branch, but there's one near Mongkok MTR

[cindylulu]

^really worth trying their cha siu pao sis? I wanted to try it when we were at sg last month but the lines were just frustratingly long.

I'm monitoring the weather forecast daily and hopefully it will be sunny as forecasted when we get there on the 16th next week. di bale chilly wag lang sana umulan.

[Heatherette]

^Yes, sulit ang pila at pag-aantay sa pork buns na yun. We waited around 30-45 mins to be seated. Sa IFC naman kami nagpunta. At sa sobrang nasarapan kami (we ordered 2) nag-take out ulit kami ng 2 orders which took around 20 mins naman haha

[cindylulu]

^thanks sis! pahabaan pala talaga ng pasensya to hehe

[Heatherette]

May nabasa akong blog, I don't know if ganun pa rin hanggang ngayon na 2 hrs ang usual waiting period sa Mong Kok while 45 mins-1 hr sa IFC.

[hime]

Disneyland today was sunny! So perfect weather at nalibot namin. Will be going to Tim Ho Wan tomorrow. Eto na daw yung new address nila. Wala na daw yung dito sa Mongkok.

TIM HO WAN, THE DIM-SUM SPECIALISTS 添好運點心專門店 {NEW}
Unit A, B, C, G72, Phase II, Olympian City
Hoi Ting Road, Tai Kok Tsui, Hong Kong
香港九龍大角咀海庭道奧海城商场二期G72號 A, B, C鋪
(Nearest MTR: Olympic)

Went to Ladies Market, wala naman ako na uli. Pero tip daw sabi nung colleague ni hubby. Tumawag Ng bongga. Like mga 50% off. Haha. Napansin ko kapag di ko masyado like ang price quotes, hahabulin ka pa nung mga sellers. Tatatanungin how much budget mo.

We bought din pala yung sim para at least connected kami sa internet. If couple, pwede isa na lang then ishare na lang yung connection. At least tipid din.

[annamarie88]

Will post my hk escapade last feb soon, mejo busy pa hihi pero definitely very useful ang mtr app! Go download it mga sis, hindi ka malost except lang pala nung papunta kami tram to the peak haha dapat magbasa ng mga road signs

[catwoman]

Hi. What do you think of this?  Kasama kasi namin this time pagpunta ng HK yung mga pamangkin ko, 5 and 8 yrs old respectively 1ST time nila to go there...pwede kaya kami magdala ng snacks, or tetra packs lang na pwede lagay sa bag nila? or kahit instant cup noodles para don sa 5yr old..baka di kumain ito e pihikan pa naman kumain?

[choco_loka]

^^^ For Tim Ho Wan, we went to Sham Shui Po branch, kasi I've read din somewhere that the branch in Mongkok is now closed. They open at 8am. We arrived mga 9.30 am and the waiting time was 15-20 minutes. After 11am, naku mahaba na pila pagtapos namin kumain. Super worth it, nag uwi kami ng 3 orders

TIPS for wifi sis, you can get a free wifi access from PCCW! Yun lang ginamit namin. For iphone users, manually select network to PCCW-HK, then when you select PCCW-HK in your wifi networks, a separate page will open instructing you to text *165# and you'll receive a code. Guaranteed free, and fast connection pati sa MTR. No need to get a separate sim, sayang din yun

[tough_chic]

hi there. i was backreading and usual question ay saan okay magpapalit at saan okay bumili ng cheap tickets to disneyland.

I was there last Feb at sa Chungking Mansion ako nagpapalit. nalibot na namin lahat ng makita namin na money changer sa paligid at sa Chungking na yun pinaka okay ang rate. huwag yung sa bungad, sa medyo loob para mas mababa.

then yung hk tickets ko i got for 410 each dun sa isang money changer dun din sa Chungking

[Heatherette]

Sis catwoman, you can bring food and snacks pero meron places in HK where you cannot drink or eat like sa MTR or Disneyland. Pero sa ibang lugar pwede naman

[mommybunini]

Hi sisses, joining this topic

Booked 4D3N HK trip next month with hubby and son. Surprise b-day gift for my son who's turning 5. Excited na kami ni hubby kasi 1st time namin mag Disneyland. LOL pero 2nd time na in HK.

Air ticket thru online and hotel booking sa travel agency na lang pati mga ticket sa Disneyland and Ocean Park para di na masyado hassle. Yung MTR ticket na lang ang bilhin namin.

Let's enjoy our HK trip mga sis
