I went to Hong Kong with my Mate (yes..still the same person).We took Cathay Airlines and stayed in Butterfly on Prat Hotel It's located in Tsim sat shui at Prat Avenue. U can took Airport express and stop at kowloon MTR Station and took Taxi to Prat Avenue (it's cost around HK$37) Butterfly Hotel on Prat is a Boutique Hotel and located in a very convenient area. Nearest MTR is East Tsim sat shui, u can reach there 3 minutes by walk. Butterfly on Prat surrounded by restaurants and shopping area.Overall i will stay here again for my next visit. But it will be better if they also provide room heater since it's very cold at night in winter season.
Hong Kong is Heaven for Shoppers. They have lots of Marc Jacobs Outlet (i bought a cute watch with a good price there) Bally, salvatoe Feragamo, Hermes, Coach, u named it They have all.. With cheaper price (compared with Jakarta). For Cosmetics u can find SASA, BONJOUR and WATSON Everywhere. I prefered SASA store for cosmetics. They have more brands, and i can find lots of KANEBO products here (i'm a fan of KANEBO brand).They also provide sample size in affordable price for Clarins,Clinique,Kose,etc. This is very good, if u're still considering what products suits u, u can buy this sample size. All of those three stores i mentioned above also sell perfumes, i bought 212 VIP 100ml only HK$468. While in Jakarta it's quite pricey almost IDR 700.000. Each SASA Stores sell different products, so u should visit all of them (thanks to my very nice friend who patiently wait for me).
If u're looking for cheap shopping u can go to Mongkok area they have ladies market there, it's more like Melawai (districts in Jakarta) Where people sell souvenirs, clothes, fake branded stuff, etc. If u're looking for cute boutique u can go to fa yuen streets. Other place is Sham shui po, well this one is more like Glodok (chinese town in jakarta) Lots of electronics here (u can find fake i phone4 here..LOL). Well sadly i couldn't find anything for me here..maybe because it's winter..they only sell winter clothes.
For me Hong Kong is more interesting for sightseeing. I went to Disneyland, and it's fun.. Same like other Disneyland (only mickey and minnie can speaks Mandarin here) u can see lots of attraction and musical performance there. They have lots of restaurant here, but if u're moslem u should eat at Indian restaurant (That's the only Halal food i think). From Tsim sat shui we took MTR to nam chong to change the line and took MTR to sunny Bay station and change MTR to Disneyland Resort. The Disneyland resort MTR is cute..it has Disney characters inside. Well in Hong Kong you have to go to star avenue..it's only few blocks from prat avenue..There,u can see city light attraction at night where they play the light with some music as a background..really cool..And also don't forget to go to Victoria peak, u can see Madame tussaud museum there..
On the Third day, we went to MACAW, we took ferry for an hour to reach Macaw. In Macaw u don't need to rent a car. All u need to know is find nearest hotel to ur targeted place to visit. If u're willing to visist senado Square and Ruin in St.Paulo u just need to take a free shuttle bus to grand Lisboa Hotel and took 10 minutes by walk to Senado square. U also can see dancing fountain and gold dragon in Wynn Hotel.From senado square u can get ther by taxi it's around HK$40, It's a must see attraction. And if u wanna go to mall u can go to venetian, just like it's name it's all designed like venetian in Italy.From Wynn hotel i go back to the ferry by wynn shuttle bus and change to venetian free shuttle bus.
Overall i like Hong Kong, Maybe for Moslem it's Quite hard to find Halal food there.. even Mc Donald, Yoshinoya and Pizza Hut have pork menu. So it's better to ask first and find Halal logo before u eat in reastaurant.
Cheers..
