new thread na mga sis

[cutiepie]

Hello! Share ko lang yung solo trip ko sa HK last week...

Weather
- mainit and minsan umuulan kaya better to have an umbrella when touring around

Shopping
- hindi pa sale nung pumunta ako. And i stuck sa goal ko na 1 bag lang so i bought longchamp. I got the summer season design 50% off. Yung le pliages, 10% off sa old colors and no discount sa new colors. I bought mine sa sogo dept store

Accommodation
- single room sa hotel benito. Winner talaga ang location sa TST but for the price e medyo mahal considering single room.

Food
Nagfood trip lang ako the entire 3 days ko. So eto yung mga nakainan ko...

- Chuk Yuen (expensive mango pudding)
- Delicious Kitchen (porkchop with vegetarian rice)
- Flaky egg tarts!!!
- Tsui Wah (fish ball in fish soup noodles)
- Star Cafe (tomato noodles)
- Kai Kee Restaurant (pineapple buns)
- Dimdimsum Dimsum (pig shaped custard buns, crispy rice rolls with shrimp)
- Relax for a while (roast goose)
- Egg waffle!!!
- Yuen Kee (sausage and egg in spaghetti soup)
- Tim Ho Wan (baked pork buns, dumplings)
- Paul Lafayet (tiramisu)

My Trip Highlights:

egg tart snacking and people watching while sitting on HK Museum of Art's steps with Victoria Harbour as backdrop, riding the dingding tram from Central to Causeway Bay and missing my stop, tim ho wan's baked pork buns lunching at IFC rooftop garden with Victoria Harbour view

Kakamiss HK! Hehe

^wow sis solo trip! something i want to do but mukhang malabong manayari hehe once din namiss namin yung stop nung sumakay kami ng ding ding. buti nalang yung next stop malapit lang so hindi naman mahaba yun nilakad namin. i miss HK na din  next target e around Jan to Feb na season para malamig. lagi nalang mainit kapag pumupunta kami. but itong last trip namin pinaka mainit. nakaka ilang palit ng damit daughter ko sa sobrang pawis.

kami naman kapag nasa HK automatic na kailangan daanan ang Victorinox, Dr. Martens and yung 2 stores that sell Playmobil, plus Toys r us in Harbour. ipipilit talaga yan ng husband and daughter ko. hindi kumpleto ang trip kapag hindi napuntahan

2nd time in HK this coming November. Last year July kami nagpunta kasi birthday month ko, hindi ako nag enjoy kasi mainit! Kaya sabi ng mom ko Ber months daw kami pumunta. Her officemate went to HK ng November last year and super lamig daw! Hoping na ganun din pagdating namin. Pupunta uli kami Disneyland then check Macau din. Pupunta din kami sa Causeway bay and experience The Peak at night. Last year kasi nag Disneyland, Ngong Ping and Ocean Park kami. Gusto ko sana bumalik ng Ocean Park kasi hindi namin naabutan ang Panda feeding.
 
This time tagged along na si BF with our family trip and first time nya. We'll be staying at ChungKing mansions sa 3rd floor lang. budget accomodation lang kami kasi wala naman kami buong araw. Malinis ang rooms and may window facing Nathan Road so alam namin ang mga kaganapan sa labas

[prettybarbie]

Halos araw araw umuulan pero mainit pa din, masyado ma humid... Public holiday sa july 1 para sa mga magtu-tour sa ganong date, ma-tao for sure sa mga pasyalan

[SOFIEMAE]

^^sis anong name ng guesthouse mo sa ChungKing mansions?

[kristinebarrios]

^Tai Wan Hotel. As in super basic lang siya kasi sabi ng parents ko hindi naman kelangan ng malaking room because we're always out naman. Malinis naman yung room where we stayed last year. 3rd floor lang siya so if ever the tiny elevator queues, we can go by the stairs na lang. We dont mind the Nigerians and Indians outside. Although minsan parang nakakatakot perp lagi namang may pulis don. Accessible kasi siya and malapit lang sa bus stop and mtr. This hostel doesnt have the best of reviews but if you're in a budget, this will suffice. On our part, it did.

Sis cutiepie, ask ko lang how much long champ le pliage nung nagpunta ka?  Thanks!

[cutiepie]

If i remember it right e around 800hkd yung long handle na small.

Sisses please do recommend a hotel for a family, 1st trip namin with my 4years old daughter. We will be at disneyland park for 2days pero medyo namamahalan kasi kami if sa disneyland hollywood hotel mag stay. Since may bata kaming kasama baka sa disneyland, ocean park, malls and macau lang ang target namin puntahan. We are scheduled for 4days and 3nights. Please kindly suggest a good & nice hotel but not so expensive as disneyland hollywood. Thanks in advance!

^hotel benito sis which is located in TST, maganda location nya. malapit sa MTR & daming foodchain sa paligid. lakad lang din papuntang avenue of stars. try mo magcheck ng rate sa booking.com

[pchym]

Hi sisses! For those who are in hk right now and who are based there, would you know how much long champ le pliage bags and if they're on sale and until when.  Thanks so much sa mga sasagot.  August 28-sept.1 ps kasi trip namin.  Tia.
