Even if I turned on the GPS and used maps all day, and looked up stores and information, 1GB per day was enough. The 100 yen eSIM is a big help.

The sashimi is very fresh, especially the hamachi and salmon. The frozen seafood is just average. The cooked food has a wide variety of choices. The bak kut teh and baked lobster are particularly good.

It's very good. It's very big inside. It's suitable for taking children to play for a whole day. There are motorized games suitable for children. There are various claw machines with food. It's also convenient to go to the bathroom. It's very good. I will go there again when I have time.

Firstly I want to say thank you to our guide Mr Rex to wait for us as we are stuck in traffic jam towards the pickup point at Kowloon Hotel. We had a wonderful experience taking the Peak Tram tour, visit Tai Kwun in Central, the longest travellerator in hongkong. The peak Tram Ride is worth it you can see superb scenery and view and photos stop. Lots of things to see and do's if we have the time. Last stop is TimHoWan for some dim sum brunch. The foods is delicious and yummy 😋. Value for money and worth visiting.
