When it comes to food, eating out at an inexpensive restaurant in Kennedy Town is moderately priced, while a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant can be quite costly. Groceries are also a significant part of the monthly budget, with prices for items like milk, bread, and eggs being relatively high. Public transportation in Kennedy Town is efficient and affordable, with options including buses, trams, and the MTR. Taxis are also available but are more expensive. Healthcare in Hong Kong is known for its high quality but can be expensive, especially for non-residents. Overall, while Kennedy Town is one of the more affordable areas in Hong Kong, the cost of living is still high, particularly when it comes to housing and food," commented one expat who made the move to Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.
