First, it's MTR not MRT. Second, you can't even take the regular MTR from the airport, and a going from airport to MK requires some sort of transfer. Better to take A21 bus, direct.
As for entertainment on Portland St, this is not the right forum....

HK-MTR, SG-MRT.
Any mention of streets named after an Oregon city will get the thread shut down by the mods.
You need to define what type of entertainment you are seeking.

The history of HK/MK - Portland St was the old Kowloon "port land". It was the old waterfront where loading and unloading of maritime freight occurred just like Connaught Rd W in Shueng/Sai Wan.
In many cities with British roots with a port you will find a Portland St. In Toronto there is a Portland St where the old port circa 1800's was.

If you're taking the MRT, Orchard Road is worth a stroll. Bukit Timah is nice for the greenery also.
