Need Advice: Going Hong Kong In Oct

[Ling2]

Hi all,

We are bringing my 2 kids to Hong Kong this Mid Oct. Is our 1st time there and will be staying in the Dorsette Hotel near Temple Street. Heard the hotels are small but to save cost, we thought just squeeze a bit lor by bringing a sleeping bag Any good advices on which are the higly recommended places to visit for kids, for shopping and eating (beside Disneyland and Ocean Park)? Hope to do some homework before going so as to save time planning when over there. Your precious advise is much appreciated. Thank you

most common place to shop for tourists is in Mongkok/Tsim Sha Tsui but you will need to have some bargaining skills there for small shops    while shopping ctres u cannot really bargain.......

Enjoy

Hi Ling2

I would recommend SWEET DYNASTY at Canton Road.
They serves nicest beancurd (tao huay) and wanton noodle.
These two items are a must try.
Check out their website www.sweetdynasty.com.hk

As for breakfast, I suggest you try Maxim's Fast Food.
They serves very nice Loh Mai Kai (Chicken Glutinous Rice).

Sorry I am not very sure of the place of interest for children cos I usually go with my friends.

while in Kowloon
If u are stayingin Dorsette then take the train and drop at TST (tsimshatsui) then find exit of 'Ocean Terminal' - this is place where kids would just love. Biggest Toy R Us in Asia and basement level are just for kids only -kid would love Jumping Gym, then walk step out to look at the Ocean where vessel parked (free). -- after 1/2 day tour in Ocean Terminal, it will be just walking distance to Victoria Park - this is where you usually see the lover in canto drama filming show (like Clark Quay in Singapore).

while in Hong Kong island
take a train to CENTRAL (this is where business district is like Shenton way) . Hop on the tram to the Peak - Kids will enjoy the tram ride most - spend the day in Peak = very nice and wonderful palce for kid (how old is your kid BTW) if kid is younger, when you are back, take train or walk to Admiralty (1 station away from Central) - find yr exit to Hong Kong Park - wonderful for kid - playground, (kid love to dig the sand there), nice flowers, man made waterfall - rememerb to take your camera.

very busy now will tell u more later - any qustion pls ask.

am singaporean family still living in HK  today:)
