Dorsett Far East Hotel in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong

After doing some research online for one week, my trip partner and me finally decided to choose this hotel to stay for 6 days 5 nights of our Hong Kong & Macau free & easy tour. Although Tsuen Wan located quite far from the MRT map but it is actually quite fast to reach to the tourist attraction area in Hong Kong. Going to Mong Kok is just 20 minutes & Hong Kong Island is just 30 minutes MRT away. The good thing about the Tsuen Wan MRT is that it is located on the Red Line which is very convenient. With this line, you don't need to make any interchange and can straight to Hong Kong Island with stop on either Admiralty or Central station. Besides that, it also near the Airport and Lantau Island.

Based on the review and google map street view, I found that this hotel is quite convenient. Just a 5 minutes walk to Tsuen Wan MRT station, just 2 minutes walk to the bus stand and food stall in the neighborhood. From the bus stand, you can take Air Bus straight to the Hong Kong International Airport with just HKD7.80 per way, the journey is quite scenic plus it only takes around 40 minutes. Every morning we have breakfast in this near by neighborhood and we don't fancy to visit those famous restaurants in the town. The food found out to be quite good compared to our country Malaysia. Overall we don't have any complaint for our 5 nights stay here other than small size in this hotel room. The facilities are good with water boiler, LCD TV, air-cond, fridge, safe box & powerful shower.

Rating:8/10. Recommended for person who don't mind the room size, on budget and not spending time in the room.
Star: 3 stars hotel.
Price:Around RM110 per person a night.


Requested for twin single bed, non smoking and room with window.

Air-cond, LCD TV & mirror.

Small shower. But powerful water force.

Reasonable toilet.

LCD TV, water boiler, safe box & clothes hanger.

Address:
135-143, Castle Peak Road, Tsuen Wan, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

Chong Fatt Cafe @ Setapak, Kuala Lumpur

Located in Taman Setapak Indah, this cafe is a branch from the famous Chong Fatt seafood centre in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. This restaurant specialized in preparing fish head noodles. Their fish head noodle is made by deep frying the fish head then put it in the fish soup base. Then they add in the extra ingredient such as rice wine, preserved vegetables, fish maw, evaporated milk & tomato. They also have the Sang Har mein (fresh water prawn noodles).

Taste:8/10(Their fish head noodles with fish maw is better than most of the fish head noodles those I tried else where. The chicken feet salad that we ordered is quite unique with Thai style flavour and the pandan leaf chicken is good with enough flavour).
Price:Their fish head noodles with fish maw priced at RM15.80 with drinks, chicken feet salad at RM12 & Pandan leaf chicken at RM18.
