Hi Fellow punters. I have not been to HK recently but I wanted to gauge the costs in terms of cost of living and punting costs between those two cities.

Hey bud, Singapore is definitely more expensive, by that I mean cost of living, food and even punting. I lived in HK for just over 6 years and frequently travelled to Singapore for work so yeah hope that helps you.

@ Lupe. Thank you. So Kowloon still the best bet vs Singa.

I prefer Wan Chai ahead of Kowloon. Might be because I always stayed on the Island and never in the Kowloon Area.

No one a Jimmy Choo fan? Come on ladies

@JJ. I always stayed on HK Island. Only stayed once at the Royal Plaza on Kowloon side.

Singapore is the most expensive city in the world to live in right now. Steer clear.

My two favourite HK hotels are in TST on Kowloon and I've always loved it there.

@ Ghostwrita.Always stayed at the Metropark in next to Tin Hau MRT station but willing to try somehing on Kowloon side. Do you think Kowloon is cheaper than the Island. Funny enough I always end up shopping most of the time in Kowloon rather than Causeway Bay or Central.
