Hong Kong Winter 2011 - Costing and planning

This is my second trip to beautiful Hong Kong! The 5D4N trip cost us about RM7k, inclusive some light shopping. This trip is more for "makan makan" or a relaxing one since the only thing that we did was walk around and look for great food to eat! :)

It's more like a 4D4N trip as we took a late morning flight and left also late in the morning on the last day. It's so much more relaxed and less tiring compared to the last trip :)

Word of advice, there's pretty much nothing useful to buy during winter time in Hong Kong... what they have is only winter clothes, lots and lots of winter clothes...

Anyway, it was a last minute decision, therefore we tried Cathay (previously we flew Airasia)... Most probably we won't be going back to Airasia unless there's no alternative :)
Below is the costing breakdown:

• Cathay Pacific return tickets (2pax) + airport-hotel coach transfer + 4 nights at the Empire Causeway Bay - RM4662 (We find the price rather reasonable considering the travelling period is between Christmas and New Year)
• Airport Express Travel Pass - HKD600 (HKD300/pax) (since our package includes airport transfer, next time we will try buying a normal Octopus card and reload instead because we didn't ride the Airport Express)
• Food - HKD2500 (HKD500/day)

We love the weather! Everyday its slightly less than 20°C, it gets colder at night... fantastic for steamboat, hot desserts, noodles, anything hot! you name it :)
