Hong Kong Trip 15-19 Jan 2016 - Day 1

  I have not been to Hong Kong for many years, since Cathay Pacific is having promotion with HSBC Credit Card offering return ticket from Singapore to Hong Kong at S$238 it is worth to make a re-visit. Depart Singapore at 0100hours and Arrival Hong Kong at 0500hours allow me to have one full day in Hong Kong.

 Sandwich & cake was served for supper

Rice with chicken was served for my return flight
 

I got my Hong Kong Pre-paid SIM Card with data from Changi Airport at the price of S$15 for 5 days which is much cheaper than getting in Hong Kong.

Since I already got my SIM card before arrival, the only things that I need to get is the Octopus card as it will be more easy for me since I will be travelling on MTR, Buses. For my 5 days trip in Hong Kong I spend total HK$250 on transportation which included MTR, buses, ding ding tram, the peak tram...

Hong Kong hotel is not cheap therefore this trip I booked an apartment thur Airbnb, however after this experience i will prefer to stay in hotel next time. The host is nice to allow me to leave my luggage at the apartment before check-in time so that i can straight go for my sightseeing.

 

The apartment located at Granville Circuit Tsim Sha Tsui, which is about 5-7min to Tsim Sha Tsui Mtr Exit B2 and it only 5min from the airport A21 bus busstop which is at Ramada Hotel.

 

At the 7th floor of Grand Building

 



It is a small apartment but have free wifi, the downside is the shower heater water get cold very fast so I have to shower very very fast which is terrible cos it is winter the tap water was like ice water so without the heater will be horrible

 

My first breakfast in Hong Kong is at Australia Dairy, I reach there 9plus lucky there was no queue

 

I ordered breakfast set which is HK$32 + $2 for ice milk tea

 

The scrambled egg was good not too wet nor dry

 

Macaroni with ham

 

Ice Milk Tea

 

After me the queue started to form but serving was very fast so they will expect you to finish fast too

 

 

 

After breakfast, i take MTR to Wong Tai Sin Station Exit B2 to visit the famous Wong Tai Sin Temple

 

MTR station is next to this newly open Temple Mall

 

At the right side you will see all those stores just walk down

 



You will come to the main enterance of the temple

 

There are many peoples in the temple even on a raining day

 

At the back of the temple is a small garden

 

After temple visit it is time for me to check-in to the apartment, on my way back to the apartment I found this shop which I heard that they sell many cosmetic, skin care products at low price

 

  

So if you want to buy cheap cosmetics, skin care and hair care products in hong kong go to 龙城大药房, it located near to MRT Tsim Sha Tsui Exit B2, remember to bring your shopping bag cos they will charge you for plastic bag and only accept Cash so if you have alot of things to buy bring more Cash.

After check-in and rest for awhile, I went out for my lunch at

Sun Kee Cheese Noodle with pork collar meat, cheese with instant noodle match well, their next must try is the Chicken Middle Wing with Swiss Sauce found it nice.
They are located at Champagne Court 16-20 Kimberley Road GF13-14 Tsim Sha Tsui next to The ONE shopping centre, which is quiet near to the apartment

 

 

After lunch I went to the Clock Tower at the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. Too bad the weather was not very good so cant have a clear view of Victoria Harbour.

 

At night I went to the lady street but due to raining for the whole day, most of the stores closed early as they know that there wouldn't be any more customers coming



 

Since most of the stores was closed, I go for my dinner at 大家乐 near Lady Street, We had the mini seafood with pork steamboat set it come with udon, rice with minced pork is additional order
