Just take the MTR, it will probably be faster and almost zero chance of getting lost. Walk or taxi to Tseun Wan Station then MTR all the way to Tung Chung.

If you insist on the bus, here:

Great, thanks commoner for the options. Will consider the MTR, then. Thanks!

hi guys, nakabalik na pala kami from hongkong last May 15. Busy lang kaya di ko pa natapos ang trip report namin. All i can say lang sa hongkong is, LAKAD LAKAD LAKAD and NO RICE haha dun lang ako na sad pero super saya! Worth it kahit 4d/3n lang

Mabuti't hindi bumagsak blood sugar mo ala-Corona, ha-ha! Are you not adventurous when it comes to food in a different place? That's part of the adventure! One of the best ways to soak in the culture is to try the local food.

Just curious, how much does a Big Mac or a Quarter-Pounder meal cost in HK these days? How much for a two-piece chicken meal at their KFCs? How about a two-piece chicken meal at the lone Jollibee outlet at Central?

I'm planning to take the kids with me in November. Ako adventurous sa food but these are probably just what they would want to eat there.

There are a lot of non-Chinese food outlets in HK so you don't have to settle for these places.

Triple O Burgers in Citysuper serves some of the best burgers I've tried.

Japanese food is common but expensive.

I sincerely hope you don't eat at Jollibee in HK.

I sincerely hope you don't eat at Jollibee in HK.

Without asking why (but I have an inkling), I'll take your advice, ha-ha! Thanks!

Haha now that's direct to the point.

Can't blame them though, unfortunately not everyone can appreciate Chinese cuisine.

Foodie heaven ang HK dahil maraming hole-in-the-wall restos na may kanya-kanyang specialty. Tapos nandiyan din mga world-class na high end at fine dining restaurants.

How about the street food po? is it an adventure too? what is worth to try and where?

Day 1
Buy all the tickets at CTS para di na hassle sa inyo.

Day 2
Masyado kayong matagal sa Ocean park. You may leave by 5pm then punta na kayo Victoria peak. After nyo dun, try nyo mag ferry from central going to TST.

Day 3
It depends on you. Since you have a child, okay lang, para at least sulit na sulit for her birthday

Day 4
since nasa TST kayo, you may visit Kowloon Park. Maganda doon, relaxing (tambayan ko yun eh. haha) then Nan Lian Garden at Diamond hill. after that last minute shopping na

[commoner]

They're OK.

I'm not really fond of street food but you can find most of them in side streets of Mongkok and Tsim Sha Tsui.

also, I was wondering if we still have time to insert Macau on our itinerary above. We also wanted to try the Big Bus, not sure when.

If you will add Macau then you won't have time to visit the other places in HK.

Definitely no time and no need to ride the big bus.
