Breakfast at Hotel was very useful. For other meals, we mostly went to Woodlands & Sangeeta in 'Wings on Plaza', which was walkable from the hotel. There was also a small 'Saravana Hotel' in Chungking Mansion that was OK. Overall very expensive. One Masala Dosa costs Rs.550/-, Lunch: Rs.900/-

Mostly used the MTR. Simple and easy with Octopus card (that we purchased at the airport). We used the Bus to commute from Airport to the Hotel and back. It was the cheapest!
