Travel with Kids to HK

his is based on my personal experienced

travel twice to HK while preggy 3mo and with HM when she's 18mo

and both trips were duing their "winter" time, starts end Oct- Feb (no snow only cold weather and winds/rains)

Tips/need to know while travelling to HK

1. bring light stroller - as the crowds are so pack and if you're travelling via MRT, ada banyak sgt staircases from A-B
2. Halal foods is a bit susah, if ada pun at a secluded place. So bring along your kids foods/your own foods
3. drink only mineral water 
4. our currency is bigger than them 100HKD=RM38+
5. if you're travelling via MRT to every places, there'll be lots of walking. so wear proper shoes
6. if you're planning to jln via MRT, once reach airport, pls buy OCTOPUS card (mcm Touch N Go) :  http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/train/about_octopus_index.html

Flights fare

if thru AA- average for 2pax during sale i dpt RM500

if plus HM when she's 18mo - RM700

if via MAS- sy tatau la but i've seen from RM400+ one way

Places of Interests

Place to stay

Since we're are budget traveller, i didnt stay at the Hotel. 

1. rooms almost everywhere incl hotels are small, plus expensive. why spend more? plus we' just need B&B the least
2. i choose to stay at Mongkok Area. Tho it's ab it busy but i just love it and easy access to everywhere
3. if you ada budget lebih and prefer to stay hotel, there's alot to choose depending on your area ie : Mongkok/Tsim Tsa Tsui etc
4. if you wanna book hostel : go to hostelworld.com. and choose your room(prefer w ensuite bathroom, no BF but free wifi)
5. before book your room/hostel get the review at : tripadvisor/virtual tourist/etc
6. links to book room : via asiarooms/booking.com/expadia/tripadvisor/agoda.com

Weather 

since i travel during their cold time, no need to bring thick winter jacket la. appropriate sweater cukup

for kids maybe a proper and covered clothes for them (you should know your self and kids)

when it rains it can be too cold as low as 10C and there's where you'll be hungry all the time (LOL)

Foods 

1. for HM , i bring her cereals, instant mashed potatoes etc. if your kids kinda picky eater, bwkla rice cooker yg small. I never try this but heard others pernah
2. we ate mcD, more on western kinda foods ie Subway, Pret The Menger ( they have fresh fruits and breads and sandwihes everyday), pasta, ice cream etc. Halal foods like Pakistani ada tp kena google and cari. ada satu di Tsim Tsa Tsui, nearby Masjid, lupa the name. Kena ask around
3. if foods dlm Disneyland, just becareful, ada yg tak halal. if rasa ada doubt, don't even take the ayam (to me it doesnt look convincing tho amik nasi ayam, so just ate rice and soup w some veges and fresh fruits)

Tips for Disneyland

1. go as early as 10-11am, you'll need one whole day spending your time day/ even you kids hehe
2. there'll be only ONE MRT to go to disneyland. the train decorated with all these cartoons. once in, you know you're on the right train. Take the TUng Shun line
3. everyday the parade will be at 330pm (local time) so get ready for it
4. every night kot ada fireworks, it starts at 8pm tak silap. we didn't wait for that, too penat to walk dah
5. brings lots of cash/ u might over sepnd here (or credit card) in case you/your kids go mad shopping hahahah
6. ada port to park your stroller everytime you nak enter to the game area. Pic in my Fb
7. of coz ada nursery/changing room for babies
8. only at certain area  can smoke. daddies cannot simply smoke ok
