Hong Kong: Where to Shop?
- Thread starter chloe
- Start date
Actually not really worth staying at HK island side coz shopping not cheap as usually branded boutique is located there and most shopping is at kowloon side. actually the best time to go HK is at end july or August coz they will be clearing their summer clothes...means SALE....i can tell u its really cheap...
for eating wise, i can recommend claypot rice at Yau mai tai...cant rem which exit....the claypot is real gd...they have abt 5 shops along the road...beat in an egg and wait for it to heat up...solid...

To hippie, ask your hubby to book the SQ air tickets 1st before the miles expiry date for travel AFTER the expiry date. Dates can also be changed later but I think you will lose the 15% online booking discount. You need 25,500 pts after the 15% discount.
hi minssy, cos my MIL went there & she said she bought something from there & when she goes to another plc, she saw the thing tat she had bot at a cheaper price... Tats wat she told me...
anyway most prob will be gog there as we wil be staying 4 nites, shld be more than sufficient to cover alot of shopping areas...
hi moon_dancer, thks 4 the info. But my HB has oredi bk his tix.

Anyone join the half day city tour to Shenzhen free by tour group?? is there anything to shop here? my tour agency only give half day shopping tour to Shenzhen by not to the 'xiao ren guo', thus hesitate whether to go anot. And oso for the half day city tour to the peak, aberdeen etc, any free makan???
mao mao.
I think mostly go to HK is free and easy. When u reach HK, there is always an option tour for you to take the land tour which usually go Shen Zhen or in HK which will include Disney land and some meals ..
However, disney land is easy to go as MRT go directly.
When are u interested to go HK ??? kee kee

Hihi all,
I am going to HK next year and am planning for the trip now.
Please give me your advice. Should I book Mayfair or BP International?
should go to disneyland? Worth it? I think my hubby isn't so into it but we have not been to any disneyland before so should try right? is it very expensive?
lastly, do you think i should go to macau for 2d/1n or a day trip is sufficient?
sorry, so many questions and thanks alot for ur help

hi mistng,
1) BP is the more popular choice..
2) disneyland - comments from this forum varies.. if your hubby is not into it and both are not a fan of all these rides, you can give it a miss.. ticket is about $60+.. damn ex lor...
3) if you go macau - 1 day is fine... take the first boat out and last boat back kinda thing...

just visited the ashley apartments..
seems really cheap...
anyone knows the background behind this building...?
i thought prices of rooms and accomodation in HK is pricey due to the limited space..
any previous 'unclean' background behind this building ah.. ? like a bit too cheap to be true feel.. hehe..
dunno leh...
by the way, where to click to check out the reservations?

hi beetle
ascott has not fully taken over the ashley apt yet cos of legal paper works not completed.
u can email directly to ashley to make reservations.
hi snowiee
i would say the price is reasonable perhaps due to smaller space given.
dun worry abt the background of building. my big boss is super patan. if it is really that "unclean" he wont buy one.
As for reservation, email them directly.

hi gals,
i've stayed in ashley for quite a no. of time even b4 it was taken over by ascott. it was only abt S$120 (standard), S$145 (superior) per nite back then. ever since it was bought over, they hv increased to a much higher rate. i happened to come across ashley in a reservation website and decided to give it a try. i really hv a good impression of it and no regrets to try. most of the other hotels that i've tried b4 are either too small, old or dirty. unless u've e budget for a 5-stars hotel, it is not easy to find a suitable accomodation. ashley is just perfect for me. location is great, near to tst mtr and jus right besides HMV. rooms are modern and very clean. superior rooms are spacious with a huge wardrobe, shoes cabinet, dvd player, surround system, counch, dinning table with plates, forks, spoons etc, kettle, hot plate, microwave etc. Bathrooms are big & clean as well. the rooms are bright and most importantly, there's no eerie feelings at all, i feel very comfortable. as compared to other hotels with e same rates, it is really worthwhile to stay at ashley instead. although e rates are much higher now, i continue to stay in ashley everytime i go over to hk. a quality serviced apartment that i really like alot. yeah!!! ^_^

hi chickenlittle,
hahhaha. keep fingers crossed ba
shopping: everywhere! just walk along nathan road from mongkok to TST MTR and there will be many many stopovers. at TST, there is a harbour city which is very very big...
at hongkong island, u can visit causeway bay, admiralty and central mtr cos these are the more popular shopping areas in their 'cbd area'. at central mtr, u must go to li yuen street east & west....
skip ladies street & temple street if you dun have time cos they sucks.. in my opinion lah
at ladies street, however, u must go to this restaurant that has a shop front full of 'chu qiam yi ding' wrappers. they serve excellent food!

Other then Rachel, anyone has reviews for Ashley Apartments?
Based on Rosey's quote, it seems to be much higher then what it have advertised in their webbie.. I've emailed them for a quote ler, but have yet to receive replies from em.. Their online rates seems GOOD! Given that their rooms are BIG. I always stay in Kowloon Hotel, and their rooms are simply pathetic. Dun even have a dressing table..
Anyway, juz for a comparision-
*Kowloon Hotel's room is about 18sqm, and *Ashley's Standard Room is 35sqm
And,
*Kowloon per nite is about $155.00, and
*Ashley per nite is about $90.00 (Based on their webbie price)
*Ashley per nite is about $220.00 (Based on the quote that Rosey have received)
