View of Tsuen Wan Harbour from L Hotel Nina Convention Centre Hong Kong

Our 2nd day of travel in Hong Kong started with breakfast at a typical Hong Kong Cafe. Here, we enjoyed toast, bo luo bun, spaghetti soup as well as the Hong Kong national beverage – milk tea!

The rest of the morning was spent exploring the HUGE Elements Shopping Mall. The mall is themed after the 5 elements and divided into 5 sections according to the elements…

We checked out Mak Mun Kee Noodles Shop for lunch and had its famous wanton noodles and beef noodles. The noodles itself was a little yeasty but the texture was awesome. Q, springy noodles. Coupled with well-braised beef and generous servings of wanton – yummilicious!

The view overlooking Tsuen Wan harbour was simply breath-taking! Makes you just want to sit back, relax, enjoy the views and let out a soft “Ah…”
Within walking distance of L’Hotel Nina Convention, we were able to have access to Citygate Shopping Mall and the night market near the Tsuen Wan MTR. Great street foods were in store for us…

We rounded off the night with a walk in the Tsuen Wan park and enjoyed night views of the harbour both from the park as well as our room…

As the day drew to a close, we were reminded to be thankful for what we have and for having each other. Many other thoughts came to mind as we reflected while reveling in this beautiful view of Tsuen Wan. Be thankful for the people around you yah?

New Year’s Eve Countdown at Victoria Harbour Hong Kong!

New Year’s Eve Countdown at Victoria Harbour Hong Kong

On New Year’s Eve, we left Ocean Park and headed out for New Year’s Eve countdown at Victoria Harbour.

Before we headed to Victoria Harbour, Kate and I decided to “camp” inside a Hong Kong Cafe because it was cold outside and it was still a couple of hours before countdown. As it turned out, there were many like-minded people gathering at the eateries nearby as well!

Dinner from 930pm to 11pm at Yuan Ji Cha Chan Teng - spending a total of 161HKD!

In order to stretch our stay, we ordered quite alot of food, at intervals of course. This is such that there will always be food on our table, otherwise, food will be cleared really quickly as explained in our Typical Hong Kong Cafe post. Here’s the list of food that we ate…

Mixed Beef Noodles (27HKD) - consists of tribe,tendon,liver and springy noodles

After a sumptuous meal, filling our appetities and keeping ourselves warm for 2 hours, we decided to head back to the harbour area once again…

There are actually several good spots to be at to view fireworks at Victoria Harbour. However, the thing is YOU MUST BE EARLY TO CHOPE GOOD SPOTS! (“Chope” is Singlish for book). There is an elavated platform that overlooks the harbour. However, there is a weight limit, restricting the large number of people standing on it. Hence, when we returned after supper, the place was already FULL!

We had no choice, but to follow the crowds along the side of the harbour and this was how crazy it was…

The cool thing was because there were so many people, it was WARM. The other thing that was interesting was that as the final 10 seconds of countdown started, Kate and I started to count in English. All of a sudden, a flood of Cantonese countdown started! 🙂

And after the countdown, fireworks started…

Jordan Comfort Inn Review | New Lucky House Hong Kong

Jordan Comfort Inn New Lucky House Hong Kong

Our very first hostel stay in Hong Kong was at the Jordan Comfort Inn. It was the peak period at the end of the year so it was quite difficult to find a cheap and good hotel. In fact, many hotels were fully booked. The next best thing was to look at hostels.

Book Here with Klook: Popular Activities in Hong Kong

We were actually quite surprised how expensive hostels in Hong Kong can be. The hostel stay cost $112 SGD for a night. Plus it was small. How small? Approximately 8sqm, take a look…

It was also quite difficult to locate Jordan Comfort Inn. As it turns out, there are many hostels in buildings such as the New Lucky House.

In buildings such as this, there are many many hostels. They are sub-divided into rooms and rented as hostels. Most of these rooms have no views at all. They are mostly rooms with no windows. The only view you get is outside the hostel. This was the view outside Jordan Comfort Inn…

Well, the good thing is that our room had air conditioning, an attached bathroom and even a wall mounted TV. There’s also complimentary water available for top up.

But the best part of Jordan Comfort Inn is its location. Temple Street and other famous eateries are within walking distance. We also took a walk to Victoria Harbour that evening. Guess, we’re paying for the location and not the room per se. That really should be the way right? Since you are in Hong Kong, you should be spending most of your time out of your room, shopping and eating!

How to get to Jordan Comfort Inn Hong Kong



Map of Jordan Comfort Inn Hong Kong

Jordan Comfort Inn is located at New Lucky Building, a short walk from the Jordan MTR. To reach here, we took the E21 from the airport and alighted nearby. The ride itself was about an hour from the airport to Prince Edward. Just ask the friendly bus uncles and they will let you know exactly where to stop.

The room may not be that cheap but the small room does come with an attached bathroom and TV. Hence, for an excellent location, we will recommend no-frills stay at the Jordan Comfort Inn!
