Eaton Hong Kong Hotel

Our first night stay was in Eaton Hong Kong!

 

The property is located near the bus stop where bus A21 stops. You can take the bus directly from the airport and it's just a short walk to the hotel from there.

A lot of the function rooms and restaurants in the hotel are closed because they are going through a massive renovation... so it is a bit dusty but don't worry cos the rooms are fine. The lobby is located upstairs and you have to take the lift up. Wany said there used to be another entrance but it is closed now because of the renovations.

We booked the Deluxe Room and was upgraded to the Studio Room when we arrived. It was small but very cosy and comfortable. The room was newly renovated and we both like the decor a lot cos it's very modern, clean & sleek! 

We booked the Deluxe twin bed room but as the Studio only had Queen bed configuration, we shared the bed! It was very comfy and I don't mind sharing bed with Wany cos she doesn't kick me when she sleeps. My sister is quite a violent sleeper so I think twice when I want to share a bed with her. LOL!

View from the room is not very fantastic lah.. but it's alright. We don't look out all the time anyway.

I love that they offer a free phone for you to use and you can also bring it out of the hotel. There's also lots of plugs to charge your devices, something that Le hubby will approve of! Hahahahahaha!

It's a "green hotel" so they provide big bottles of toiletries instead of the small mini sized ones. I don't mind cos I don't have to keep calling them for more toiletries! They smell really good too! And they provide filtered water in big glass bottles. Very environmentally friendly! 

Both of us prefer bathrooms where the toilet and showers are separated. This is very efficient especially in the mornings when you are rushing to get ready or if you are staying with more friends in the same room and you don't have to wait for each other to use the toilet if you need to shower.

The water pressure is really good!

Toilet is clean and airy too!

Small cupboard for you to hang your clothes

The mini fridge is hidden inside the island counter.

Cups and coffee/tea are also hidden in the island counter. 

I will definately come back again to stay when I am in Hong Kong! It's a really nice hotel to stay in. The area is quiet but convenient. Not many dodgy people around. And there's a lot of nice eateries nearby and it's also near the MTR (Jordan station). 

Highly recommend this hotel!!! :)

Hello from Hong Kong!!

I am blogging from Eaton Hotel in Hong Kong now! 

Wany is so shocked that I brought a notebook to blog about our Hong Kong trip because I am always so lazy and procrastinate.. then forgot about blogging. I have so many backlog holiday trips entries, some as old as 5 years ago! I gave up on them already lah... Hahahahahahaha! I will try to blog everyday ok... depending what time we go back to the hotel because sleep > than anything else.

Wany has asked me 4 times repeatedly "Are you blogging now?". And I kept saying "Yes! I am uploading photos now!" (this is a mini notebook and is a bit laggy). She will then give me the skeptical face and ask me again "You really blogging ah?". 

Ye of little faith.

But cannot blame her lah, she kena cheated so many times then she also give up liao. She told me she comes to my blog once in a while to see if I got new entries and usually she leaves disappointed. Hahahahahahahahaha! I will be here with Wany from 15-19Sep! Back on Le hubby's birthday so he won't feel so emo. Heeheehee. 

We took the 7.30am flight on Singapore Airlines and had to go to the airport at 5.30am today.... Slept at 12am last night cos I packed my luggage at the last minute (as usual). Thank you Le Hubby for sending us off! I told him he cannot come along cos this is our BFF trip! Only the two of us! Even Wany's mother cannot come. MWAHAHAHAHAH!

This is our BFF trip v5!

First trip in 2007 to Bangkok

Second trip in 2010 to Hong Kong

Third trip in 2015 to Japan

Fourth trip in 2016 to Perth

Wany pre-ordered the Kosher meal!!!!

I have seen the meal selection before on the SQ website but never chose it before. Wany said she always wanted to try it but her mum refuse to let her try saying she is crazy. LOLOL! And she said only I am so "on" to accompany her to try it. 

From my understanding about Kosher meals on Singapore Airlines flights, the crew will bring it to your seat and you have to break the seal on your own (or ask them to break it for you). They will then heat it up in a separate heater and serve it to you. The utensils and cups are all disposable. The food are not freshly prepared in Singapore by SATS catering. They are flown in from either New York, London or Israel and since it's prepared in advance, they are all flash frozen meals.. so don't expect it to be fantastic.

At least 3 crew came to check on us and ask how the Kosher meal was. I think they seldom get to see someone (especially a Chinese person) order a Kosher meal. Apparently it is the most expensive thing you can pre-order from the Economy class special meal list. We know that cos the crew told us so. Hahahahahahahaha! But expensive does not mean it is good lah. Though I think it is quite worth it in terms of quantity cos there are so much more items compared to the usual meal selections onboard or even the other special meals. 

Even though Wany did not had any religious dietary needs, it was fun just ordering the Kosher meal to see what it is about. I did not order the Kosher meal cos I wanted to try the Muslim meal. I heard from my colleagues that the Muslim and Hindu meals out of Singapore are really good so I wanted to order the Muslim meal to try for myself.

Here's my Muslim meal! (MOML)

Really happy with my selection cos it's nasi lemak!

So much better than the noodles or egg options onboard.

I had a lot of envy neighbours eyeing my meal. Haha!

Wany didn't really enjoy her meal cos it's flash frozen and not really awesome.. she did not finish the food though she ate the other items. The chief steward Ricky was really attentive and noticed she did not finish her food so he brought her a platter of Dim Sum from the Business class cabin and said it's a preview of the Dim Sum we are having in Hong Kong!

He is really friendly and nice! Also gave me some freebies including postcards! :) I promised him I will write a nice compliment email and I just sent the email out an hour ago. I told Wany I write until so nice, he can print it out and frame it or something. Hahahahahahahahahhaha! 

I really love writing compliment emails. I also love writing complaint emails. LOL!

Group photo with the IFS, Chief Steward and Wany!

Here's a picture of our really pretty & comfortable room!

We also went a lot of places to eat and eat and eat! Also went to buy supplies for our Party Minions event that is happening next month! 

I will keep the food photos for a separate posts on places to go and eat in Hong Kong! Wany and I are quite fussy about food and luckily we have similar tastes so I can trust her to pick the nice places to eat. She told me she recently went to research to see if there are new places to go cos she don't come Hong Kong as frequently as she used to previously... and she found out that many bloggers recommend the same places like they reuse the template or something. BORING!!! She also said that most places they went to are super overated.. which I believe cos these same bloggers go to Japan and visit the same places and say the same thing though I find the food that they recommend to be overhyped and overpriced.

I just told Wany that I am finishing the entry and she yelled "YOU REALLY BLOGGED AH!!!". I yelled back "YAH LAHHH!! I brought my notebook leh!!!". Then she apologised and said she really didn't believe that I will finish this post, especially one with words instead of just photos. Mwahahahahhahahahaha! She said I can be efficient if I want to.. which is true cos I am damn lam nua (lazy) most of the time. 

She is now deciding what hashtag we should use for our photos on Instagram. It is so late now that I cannot think properly.. I just kept repeating "I don't knowwwwwwwww". Hahahahahaha! 

Gonna end now and go to bed. Also need to finish up and post this cos she is gonna spot check to make sure I really blogged. -_- I also need to go and sleep cos it's gonna be a long day tomorrow. We are heading to Disneyland for the special Halloween dinner! Woohoooooo!
