KZ only charges $150 for meals only if there is an event, otherwise it's free and the breakfast is $100HKD.
When we're you last there? I just emailed the rabbi and asked him. I hope he replies.

You don't have to pay to eat at KZ. But pretty low to spend all the money flying there, staying in a 5 star hotel and eating from tzedaka.

They might ask but if show up on shabbos it definitely won't be too much of an issue

Hyatt TST isn't shabbos friendly.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
