Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[Darkangel]

Based on my last trip...
1) Pak Lee Watch Trading (I think?). It's at Middle Road opp. Middle road carpark. Fair price I feel. I got my 112G there...

Then you can walk along Nathan road towards Jordon (around 5-10 mins)

2) Holiday Inn Golden Miles Arcade, There about 5-6 shops there, Don't miss the basement (4 Shops).

Then you continue to walk along Nathan Road towards Jordon(8-10 mins.)

3) See map, There are few shop here

I was recommended that for watches, you shopped at Tsim Sha Tsui area and that in Mongkok area, while there are also some shops, their asking prices are rather high.

As for food, just before you exit the restricted area of the airport into the waiting crowd, there is a stand with various brochures displayed. Grab one that recommends 50 places to makan in HK... the beef clayport rice with raw egg... P for Power....

Thank you very much for your tips!

Darkie, there are many shops which are located at higher levels at mongkok. Don't just shop at street level. Normally, you will see a small entrance with a escalator, go up and you will find many more shops...

Also next to "woman's street" at Mongkok, there is a sport wear street.... track shoes are quite cheap there but need to check around before buying...

For Dim Sum, the best IMO is Maxim Palace at City Hall. Quite a distance to walk from Central, so i suggest u take a cab there. Be prepared for long queue, if u can, be there by 11am to avoid the HUGE HUGE crowd and long wait.

For dessert, try Tang Dynasty at 100 Canton Road (just opposite Gateway Arcade @ Harbour City/TST).

For watches, if u want a decent deal in Oris, Fortis, etc., u can PM for the add.

If u need to buy those dried goods like scallop etc, check out the shops along Nathan Road opposite the Jordan MTR. Best prices around shops between Yue Hwa and Wing On.

Have a nice trip and enjoy yourself.

If you're looking for high end stuff in Kowloon, go to "Elements" mall.

also, when you're in HK, pick up one of those local watch magazines, cheap and good... one of them is called "Spiral"

Besides taking the MTR, try taking the ferry when you want to go from HK to Kowloon or from Kowloon to HK. It is cheap yet very "relaxing" and do enjoy the view...

Speaking of Elements, if u like pastries, bread, etc., there's a shop call La Creation. Superb bread, cakes, etc. U wouldnt want to eat those stuff from BreakTalk, Q bread, etc. again. In addition, they have those biscuits nicely packed into a rectangular metal box like those that people buy as gifts from Japan. Only difference, they are much nicer than those from Japan. If u have the chance, drop by and get some b4 heading back to Singapore. The airport express satellite check in station is just below.

Darkie, for your info, if you take taxi from airport to Mongkok will cost you around HK$240.
