Hong Kong has a very unique system and they have an amazing landscape! Perhaps it was the love of HK Police drama series, having a meal at Da Pai Dang or even taking a walk in Sam Shui Po brings back nostalgic memories. Plus, I love visiting all the island that HK has. Our favourite got to be Cheung Cheng Island and Sai Kung! I hope this gives you a glimpse of things to do in Hong Kong and unique things to do in Hong Kong!

Day 1: Hong Kong - Check in at
Dorsette Mongkok - Dinner @ Kam Roast Goose - Explore Wan Chai area - Visit Lan Kwai Fong
After arriving at the airport, take
the express train to the city of Hong Kong. There are many ways to get to
downtown but we usually use the express train as it’s the fastest way. Plus, there free
shuttle service from the MTR station if you are staying in these hotels. We
took to Kowloon Mtr Station Station and hotel shuttle (K5) to Dorsette MongKok. Get discounted Airport Express Train ticket here
Do note that the queue was long and we
couldn’t get on the bus because of our big group. Sadly, the frequency was
every 20 minutes. Thus, we had to wait for the next one.
Kam Roast Goose
Kam Roast Goose
In the evening, we visited Kam Roast
Goose, the one Michelin bib gourmet nominee that serves tasty roast meat. When
we arrived, the queue was already snake long. Thus, we decide to takes away and
find some spot to eat. Probably one of the best Char Siew I had. Not a fan of
roast goose, so I thought I will skip it the next round.
The queue was crazy long and we had
to take away. If you are planning to do the takeaway, just walk to the front of
the shop and have your order taken.
As the night is still young, we
visited Lan Kwai Fong! Night clubs and bars, it’s the most happening place in HK
at night. Loud Music and Party scene, its the place for the party go-er. We visited one of the random bars and grab a drink at a random bar.
Day 2: Have breakfast at Sham Shui
Po - Mongkok Argal Center - Tsim Tsa Tsui - Avenue of Star - Central Terminal
The next morning, visit Sham Shui Po for breakfast. It was my first
visit to Sham Shui Po and I’m sure it will not be the last. You are guaranteed
a belly-full morning. The best way to start your breakfast is to visit Kung Wo
Factory Toufu! Although they don’t serve Smelly Toufu, they serve Toufu prepare
in a different way! Plus, all the different type of Toufu is really delicious and
unique! Oh and do not forget to get yourself a fresh huge bottle of Soya milk!
Kung Wo Factory Toufu
Hong Kong, Un Chau, 號 118 Pei Ho Street
Afterwards, make your way to 文记车仔面 for some noodle! This old school cart noodle restaurant is a popular
place with the locals. Pick and choose the items you want and make your way into
the restaurant. Go for the spicy base! It’s really good! Be there early because
when we were leaving, we can already see a queue forming up!
文记车仔面
Hong Kong, Sham
Shui Po, Fuk Wing St, 121號號地下
Opening
Hours: Daily, 11am–4am
Continue to explore Sham Shui Po and immerse yourself in the local
culture. You can see many vendors on the street selling different stuff. From preloved
home items to brand new, it’s a gem for treasure hunters.
In the afternoon, visit MongKok, the shopping street
for the youngster. Do not miss the Mongkok Argyle Centre! It’s the mall that I have
been visiting over the years. I was surprised to find a newly revamp wing this
trip! With new shops opening up, one can find many trendy clothes. If the stuff
in Argyle Centre is not for you, head over to K11 the hipster mall or IFC for more
luxury boutiques.
At night, take a walk along the Hong Kong Cultural Center
or Avenue of Star to enjoy Hong Kong’s Skyscraper along with the Symphony of
Lights. The light show starts at 8pm, nightly and last about 10 minutes.
On top of that, there are many buskers lined along the pier and you
can definitely enjoy the music. Afterwards, take a ferry ride to the central ferry
pier and enjoy the view!
Day 3: Sai Kung - Hong Kong Geo Park - Lunch at Xin De Ji - Explore Sai
Kung - Australian Dairy - Explore Jordon/Temple Street
Take a trip to the east of Hong Kong – Sai Kung and
you will be rewarded with delicious seafood and amazing view. Together with K,
we visited Hong Kong, GeoPark. It’s
truly one of the hidden gems in Hong Kong. One can enjoy the stunning view of the
geopark and understand the importance of geological themes of igneous rocks and
sedimentary rocks! Also, We were pretty lucky and met a group of dog lovers
while we were there! Read more about Hong Kong GeoPark here
In the late afternoon, we visited Xin De Ji Seafood restaurant
for a sumptuous lunch! This restaurant is recommended to us by a taxi driver
and we find that place really nice! Firstly, the seafood we had was fresh and well
cook! Plus the set meal they offered is at a reasonable price! Highly recommend
one to visit Xin De Ji Seafood!
We continued to explore Sai Kung and find many hidden gems there! Sai
Kung is very different from the downtown of Hong Kong and people are very
friendly there! Oh, do not forget to purchase the local peanut biscuit there! It’s
sooo good and popular even with the locals! I wish I had purchased more!
In the evening, we went back to downtown and visited the Australian Dairy. The
milk pudding is no doubt one of the best I had! However, Marconi and toast
were mediocre. Still, prefer Sing Hseung Yuan over this.
We end the night after exploring Jordon and Temple Street. We found out
there are many seafood restaurants lined along the Temple street but were too
full to try. Anybody tried the food there? Is it good and reasonably priced?
Day 4: Sing Hseung Yuan- Hong Kong Airport - Singapore
How can I not visit Sing Hseung Yuan, my favourite Da Pa Dang in Hong
Kong before leaving? On the last morning, i made my way and met up H for breakfast at our favourite Da
Pa Dang. Thankfully we were early and managed to secure seats. Read more about SingHseung Yuan here.

Aladdin and etc. Get your discounted Disneyland Hong

In the past, I thought 4D3N Hong Kong is enough to explore most of the
attraction. Unfortunately, after 4 trips I still feel that there are a lot of
things Hong Kong offers. There are still many places that I still didn’t have a
chance to explore and I’m looking forward to visiting them on my next trip! Do you
feel the same way? Where is your favourite place in Hong Kong?
