The golden week is said to be around 1 Oct. How about end of Oct? Any reason why the hotel rate is more expensive?

For those who have not been to tangchao recently - it has shifted further down the road (in the direction AWAY from Harbour City.

New avant-garde decor. Food tastes the same though. Can't recall if there is a price increase in some items, but the tau hway still cost the same.

Any recommended tim sum around Yau Ma Tei area? i'll be staying over at YMCA International House.
Any nice place for dinner around Yau Ma Tei area? Any place for fresh seafood(those seafood market).

Many Thanks in advance...

international house is excellent, stayed there during my trip about 2 months ago. For dim sum, just go through the back door, walk to the next block of building in front of u (i forgot the name of the building, it's the other one that sells toys, other than ctma). there's a restaurant on the 3rd level, you'll have to take a lift up.
