freebies at hongkong

Free chocolate. 

The cactus is a free gift from Langham place shopping mall for tourist, there have a tourist discount too.

Supermarket in Hongkong

There are lot of 7-11 k-mart and other convenience stores at Hong Kong. When I visited HOng kong last year, I saw a few small supermarkets popping around the TST and mongkok. 

I like to visit supermarket when I travelled because different countries have their different snacks and food. Moreover, the price is usually cheaper and is a good place to get gifts and interesting food.

This supermarket is one of my favourite. It is located at Tung Chung citygate outlet. It is like singapore hypermart. 

Drop by if are visiting citygate at Tung Chung.

Random Hongkong food

Cherikoff

G29 Allied Plaza, 760 Nathan Rd., Prince Edward,

Daily 7am-10:30pm

Their cookies come in a dozen different flavors, crowned with classic toppings like jam, cherry, nuts or chocolate drop, each with a buttery crispiness. 

For a healthier option, try their egg white-only variety, made with sesame and green tea. Try their all-time famous nougats. Besides the original flavour, there are healthier options made with prune and walnut.

Just a random bakery. If you interested in just buying lao po bing or wife's biscuit for your family and packaging is not a major concern. You can try the normal bakeries along the street like along TST or MOngkok. and buy one to try and find one that suit your tastebuds before buying a dozen back. The price is usually a fraction of those branded store. However, remember to bring your own air tight container.

Bought a coupon from valuup.com. Do not remember the actual price, but it was valued for money because it is a place at kowloon with a nice view and ambience. 

The eyebar at isquare. Not sure how pricing without the coupon.

If you spot this card, remember to try hong Kong traditional icecream.

I tried macdonalds too because there have some seasonal stuff not available in singapore. for example, the chocolate puff.

Some random things we ate.

 starbucks, taste the same.

Decided to try out high Tea in Hong Kong.
The high tea is around hk$200 and reservation can be made through email.
The food was not bad.
The interesting fact about this high tea is that they linked up with brands like marc jacobs, chloe and etc to come up. The food will be designed with the brand as the theme, a small gift is given for customers (while stocks last). No worries about the gift as is of high calibre and not some cheapo free gifts.
During the time period I was there, there were giving out this brand known as Qeelin. Although it is not a famous brand, the gift was well made and very beautiful.


Honeymoon Dessert
They have branches in Singapore but I have not tried them out yet.
A lot of branches in Hong Kong. I visited the one at Langham place shopping mall.

Hongkong fast food MAxim
Sometimes I am just in hurry, because I want to shop. I just drop by Maxim for a meal.
Chinese fast food, standard is not bad. Sometimes the seasonal items are quite good.


Shamrock seafood Restaurant.
Located at Shamrock hotel. Just above jordan station.
The dim sum is slightly above average. This is a traditional teahouse so you see a lot of locals sipping their tea and enjoying dim sum.
The best part about this place is the price.

The food look much better than the taste.

Hongkong : Accomodations/ hotels

view from langham place hotel

Langham place is ideally located near to Mongkok MTR station. Just one street away. 

Near langham place shopping mall and also ladies' market.

The room is not very big but quite big for a hotel in hongkong.

There is an ipod dock too. I do like the decor and the toilet and the room.

There is also a fresh food market behind langham place hotel. For those who are curious about hongkong market life. The internet is not free but there is a computer area with imacs

However, the price of room is a bit steep.

It is just one street away langham place hotel which means two street away from mongkok MTR station. It is around the same size as Langham place but slightly cheaper.

There is no bathtub and  the reception is not at the first floor. You do have to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs to reach the reception.

The room is not as comfortable or classy as langham place hotel but is not bad.

Prudential hotel is conveniently located above Jordan MTR. It is one the more spacious Hotel in Hongkong. I liked the sofa and the decoration of the room. When I stayed there 3 years ago, everything was new and clean.

Although it is located above Jordan MTR station, you do have to take the escalator down a few floor to reach the MTR. Jordan is near Temple street and also Tsim Sha Tsui.

I stayed in Park hotel a few years back. It just underwent renovation so everything was new and in good condition.Although it is very spacious, it is located around 10 minutes from the nearest MTR exit. Will not recommend it unless you love big rooms and don't mind the walk. 

 This is the photo of citadines hongkong ashley. The room is quite small but the decoration of the room is the most stylish. The toilet has no bathtub and is located around 5 minutes walk from nearest MTR exit.

I stayed in  Kowloon Hotel, Imperial Hotel and Shamrock Hotel before. few years back, so not sure if things have changed.
Imperial Hotel and Shamrock Hotel are old and small. The plus is that it is very near to MTR station. Will not really recommend them
Kowloon Hotel is definitely good in location as it is connected to MTR station, however the room is very small.

My favourite is definitely prudential or langham place.
