True. I've only bee once and really want to go back. Problem is last time DW wasn't working, so we could go anytime of the year. Now we're limited to July and August, though next year we're thinking of a NZ trip then.

Hotel recommendation for a 24hr layover?  Nice, central, but easy airport access is ideal.

There seems to be price mistake at the Regal Airport Hotel for July 13-14 for $32. Bookable here https://preferredhotels.com worked out perfectly for a layover I have (arriving at 8pm leaving 7am. Didn't think the W was worth it for so short of a stay.)

I believe they're open for lunch, but I'm not sure how long after. I didn't go on Friday, though I think I recall them being open. This is all SevenZero, the dairy place. I have no idea about the meat place.

Anyone know about breakfast i.e. Cereal, milk, etc in 5 star hotels in HK?  Do they serve cereals like Kellogg's? Is it kosher? And the milk I understand it may not be cows milk. I'm not concerned about  CY jet if it's kosher.  Does anyone have insight? TIA

The HR TST didn't have any kosher cereal. All Kelloggs were made in Thailand and were not kosher.

Ask them to get Kosher for you if breakfast is included. They are quite familiar with Kosher there
