[mauz]

Ladies,

Pa help naman po, first time ko with my family to travel outside the country.
Hongkong ang una namin gustong puntahan.

Pa help po sa ITI. which is first or last na dapat kong puntahan.

Eto po yung mga places na gusto namin for 5days.

1. HK Disneyland (twice namin gustong pumunta, halimbawa po first day and 4th day)
2. Avenue of the stars
3. NP360 (cable)
4. Macau (daytour)
5. Wax museum
6. Saka san po ang shopping central nila.

Pasensya na, naguguluhan kasi ako sa mga places..

Saka san po best and ideal inns/hotels na budget wise for 5 days.

many thanks po.

^ Bili kayo nung 2-day ticket which you can use within the 7-day period. Not necessarily kelangan sabay na 2 days.

1st day: Peak, Madam Tussauds, Avenue of the Stars then dyan sa lugar na yan sobrang daming magkakadikit na malls.

Hindi ko lang alam paano yung 2 days na Disneyland niyo plus yung Macau kasi nung ginawa namin yan hindi the next day after mag-Disneyland kasi pagod kami nun so di kakayanin mag-Macau. Bale, we set aside 1 rest day na simple ikot ikot lang then the following day nag-Macau na kami. Ganun din ginawa namin nung nag-DL and OP kami, hindi naman sinunod ng days dahil nakakapagod siya.

Sample:

1st day - Peak, Madam Tussauds, Avenue of the Stars
2nd day - Disneyland
3rd day - Macau
4th day - Disneyland and unless you plan on staying the whole day, you can visit Ngong Ping Village after nito.
5th day - what time yung flight pauwi?

For inns, hostels, or hotels, you can back read sis. Daming recos.

I know maganda reviews dito ng butter cookies from Jenny's bakery. 2 large and 2 small binili namin on the 1st day. Pagbalik namin ng hotel, nadisappoint ako. For me, it's not different from other butter cookies. Kung magsa-side trip kayo sa Macau, i suggest na yung almond cookies from koi kei bakery na lang bilhin nyo. Andami nilang free taste along the way going to ruins of st paul at ang dami ring koi kei dun tabi tabi. Kaya ayun natikman ko. Dun ako nagsisi na sana hindi muna ako nag hoard ng sa Jenny's. Yun pa naman pasalubong namin at may kamahalan pa naman.

^ hanks for the heads up sis.. i prefer that almond cookies.. i'll look for that when we go to macau on dec.

[nageinna]

^^would try that almond cookies as well when we visit macau.

[nikrAyM]

You won't miss koi kei pag papunta na kyo st paul. As in tabi tabi. Meron rin yata sa hong kong but i don't know where exactly.

[ohcmon]

Sa Venetian din may nakita kaming Koi Kei. I super liked their egg tarts!

[m_lim]

anong mga must eats niyo ngayon sa Hk?

[princess lorraine]

Merong bakery from macau sa hankow road in tsim sha tsui. I just can't remember if it's kee wah or koi kei. 

[nikrAyM]

In fairness nagustuhan ng mga officemates ng asawa ko yung sa jenny's. Masarap naman sya, lalo na with tea or coffee. Ubos agad yung large tin can. Type ko yung coffee flavor. Mas nasarapan lang siguro ako dun sa almond cookies.

[ataypool]

Puro taste test lang ako sa Koi Kee hindi nakabili haba pila sa Senado Square. I came across Pastelaria Yeng Kee in Old Taipa Village, no queue and friendly staff and I ended up buying from them the almond cookies, barquillos and peanut brittle. I think they taste better than Koi Kee.

[m_lim]

strict ba sa Disneyland Hotel?

4 adults, 1 toddler kasi kami. ang pwede sa room eh 3 adults, 1 child.

mapapansin kaya?

[princess lorraine]

^ok lang yan sis they are not that strict naman. 

[m_lim]

Spending christmas in HK, ok lang po ba? 1st time mag travel ng family, 3 adults with 2 kids (13 and 3)... any tips po?

I'll be in Hong Kong with my fiance this July 6-10. Parehas kaming nakapunta na ng Hong Kong before na pero ngayon lang yung kaming dalawa lang. Thanks sa mga itinerary suggestions na pinost nyo. Kala ko kasi napuntahan na namin yung mga attractions sa Hong Kong, dami pa pala na pwedeng puntahan (na libre pa) gaya ng mga parks. Drafted our itinerary na while browsing sa thread na ito. 

Question lang mga sis, pag sa temples ba nila (Big Buddha at 10,000 Buddhas) pwede ba naka shorts? O dapat mag pants kami pareho as a sign of respect? Summer kasi ngayon sa kanila di ba? Isip ko kasi mainit. tia!

[ataypool]

^When I visited a Buddha temple in Sydney, pinapalabas nila naka-shorts, short skirts, midriffs, singlets, minidresses, low plunging tops front and back, sleeveless tops. It may apply to Hong Kong as well, it is still a place of worship. May backlash din sa mga tourists sa Cambodia re their clothes as mentioned above, locals upset kasi nga hindi daw show ng respect sa beliefs nila. Be on the safe side na lang, wear something that covers at least 3/4 of your body or a skirt just below your knee, etc.

[Heatherette]

^^Nung nagpunta kami sa Ngong Ping marami naka-shorts dun but I agree, as a sign of respect na rin kung naka-shorts maybe bring a sarong para ma-cover yung lower portion.

Thanks sis Heatherette and ataypool
