US bb plans to travel to HK

Hi everybody

Please pardon me of posting here…. I have not joined in your forums but have some questions that u maybe able to help me. I don’t use Chinese input so I type in English, however, I 100% understand Cantonese.

Let me introduce myself first: My bb is a 0509 girl and the 3 of us live in Los Angeles. We plan to have a vacation back to HK near end of Nov. We have not been back to HK for almost two years, and this time with bb together, really have a lot of uncertainty that want to ask u all !

1. Weather in HK: what's the weather now? dry? chilly?

2. Health: any good paediatrians (just in case for bb) and family doc (just in case for me) in Wanchai, Jordan and 粉嶺 that u know of?

3. Where to get cheaper Pampers? Regular pharmacy or Watsons etc?

4. Any "Nestle Good Start" formula sold in HK?

5. Anybody uses carseat while taking taxi? Will the taxi driver refuse to give u a ride? How polite/ inpolite are they now? (In my memory, their services have always been not very good)

6. Do u know how to get from 粉嶺 to Jordan? 粉嶺 to Wanchai?

7. Anybody familiar with 牽晴間? We will live in a friend's apt there. Where to get (good) food (for bf, lunch and dinner, because I will not cook ) and good supermarket?

8. Anybody uses a portable highchair like this while dinning out?

And what is usually the condition of the restaurant highchairs? I am thinking whether I should bring this portable highchair back to HK?

9. How about stroller? Will restaurants allow u to push it in?

10. Anybody brought your bb to Ocean Park? Any tips?

11. Are the changing stations in public restroom OK? (In my memory, public restrooms are dirty.......... ) In which malls can u find good ones?

12. Finally, where to buy good and cheap bb things (eg. clothings, toys, Chinese books....) I expect lots of shopping

13. Any good wireless cable connection that does not need a contract (we will be using just for example 2 weeks)? How much is that? Does public library have connection? How safe is that?

14. Any good pay-as-you-dial mobile phone card?

15. Where to get a nice baby hair cut?

16. Which studio for baby portrait?



Thank u thank u thank u!

Re: US bb plans to travel to HK

嘩~ 你真係好多問題想知喎! 盡下人事答妳啦~
1. Weather in HK: what's the weather now? dry? chilly? 天氣清涼, 二十多度. 算乾燥, 都可接受. 大人細路, 早晚加件外套比較好.

2. Health: any good paediatrians (just in case for bb) and family doc (just in case for me) in Wanchai, Jordan and 粉嶺 that u know of? 我答妳唔到.

3. Where to get cheaper Pampers? Regular pharmacy or Watsons etc? 通常藥房比較平. 但要留意有兩隻 size. 藥房有片數多 d 的 '珍寶裝' , 抵買 d. 但妳留唔耐, 要睇下用唔用得晒.

4. Any "Nestle Good Start" formula sold in HK? 我未聽過呢隻產品喎.

5. Anybody uses carseat while taking taxi? Will the taxi driver refuse to give u a ride? How polite/ inpolite are they now? (In my memory, their services have always been not very good)
唔使用 car seat. 通常自己抱住. 態度呢~ 一般黎講都 ok. 當然, 長途的話佢地面口會好 d.

6. Do u know how to get from 粉嶺 to Jordan? 粉嶺 to Wanchai? 坐火車 (kcr) 由粉嶺去九龍塘, 再轉地鐵 (mtr) 由九龍塘去佐敦. 粉嶺去灣仔, 都可以同上, 轉地鐵時搭到去灣仔站 . 但記得搭地鐵要在適當站內轉車.

7. Anybody familiar with 牽晴間? We will live in a friend's apt there. Where to get (good) food (for bf, lunch and dinner, because I will not cook ) and good supermarket? 附近應該冇乜好野食. 酒店快餐店總會有.

8. Anybody uses a portable highchair like this while dinning out?

And what is usually the condition of the restaurant highchairs? I am thinking whether I should bring this portable highchair back to HK?
買就無謂喇~ 帶返黎, 唔麻煩的話都可以. 但一般酒樓只得張高少少的所謂 bb 椅. 要 high chair, 就要大餐廳/ 酒店先會有. 或者放 bb 車食囉.

9. How about stroller? Will restaurants allow u to push it in? 可以入

10. Anybody brought your bb to Ocean Park? Any tips? 去過. 好好玩. 都冇乜特別 tips.

11. Are the changing stations in public restroom OK? (In my memory, public restrooms are dirty.......... ) In which malls can u find good ones? 大商場, 如九龍塘又一城 ..... 就會好好. 一般商場仔, 就唔好有乜期望.

12. Finally, where to buy good and cheap bb things (eg. clothings, toys, Chinese books....) I expect lots of shopping 見人見智, 遇上百貨公司大減價就多 d 選擇.

13. Any good wireless cable connection that does not need a contract (we will be using just for example 2 weeks)? How much is that? Does public library have connection? How safe is that?
大型商場/ cafe 都會有. 都冇乜 security 可言. 你都係上下網0者. 處理什麼個人理財的話, 可免則免.

14. Any good pay-as-you-dial mobile phone card?
各大 ok, 7-11 便利店有售. 周街都有. 唔使擔心.

15. Where to get a nice baby hair cut? 冇乜意見比到妳喎!

16. Which studio for baby portrait? 同上. 幫不上.

希望你地 enjoy 呢個 trip!

Re: US bb plans to travel to HK

Dear culver,

Let me answer the other question.

1. Weather in HK: what's the weather now? dry? chilly? 天氣清涼, 二十多度. 算乾燥, 都可接受. 大人細路, 早晚加件外套比較好.

At the end of Nov, the temp will be around 20C, remember to bring the baby lotion.
Weather in HK


2. Health: any good paediatrians (just in case for bb) and family doc (just in case for me) in Wanchai, Jordan and 粉嶺 that u know of? 我答妳唔到.

There is a good paediatrians for kid & adult at Quarry Bay, please check PM


3. Where to get cheaper Pampers? Regular pharmacy or Watsons etc? 通常藥房比較平. 但要留意有兩隻 size. 藥房有片數多 d 的 '珍寶裝' , 抵買 d. 但妳留唔耐, 要睇下用唔用得晒.

A pharmacy at Kwai Chung is selling Pampers which is cheaper, if you want to know the location, please let me know.

4. Any "Nestle Good Start" formula sold in HK? 我未聽過呢隻產品喎.

Not sure is that one is available in HK, please go to Nestle Product have a look.

5. Anybody uses carseat while taking taxi? Will the taxi driver refuse to give u a ride? How polite/ inpolite are they now? (In my memory, their services have always been not very good)
唔使用 car seat. 通常自己抱住. 態度呢~ 一般黎講都 ok. 當然, 長途的話佢地面口會好 d.

6. Do u know how to get from 粉嶺 to Jordan? 粉嶺 to Wanchai? 坐火車 (kcr) 由粉嶺去九龍塘, 再轉地鐵 (mtr) 由九龍塘去佐敦. 粉嶺去灣仔, 都可以同上, 轉地鐵時搭到去灣仔站 . 但記得搭地鐵要在適當站內轉車.

I don't know....

8. Anybody uses a portable highchair like this while dinning out?

And what is usually the condition of the restaurant highchairs? I am thinking whether I should bring this portable highchair back to HK?

Most of HK family will not bring hairchair when they were out for lunch/dinner, it was becasue the restaurant will provide to you. Some of them have also a seat belt on it, don't worry about that.


9. How about stroller? Will restaurants allow u to push it in? 可以入

yau_grace,

thank you so much. I am always a mom full of lei!

13. Any good wireless cable connection that does not need a contract (we will be using just for example 2 weeks)? How much is that? Does public library have connection? How safe is that?

--- we are so used to check emails everyday (both personal and work)..... that's why I just wonder if it's possible to have my own. Maybe we need to borrow the line from other family members.
