Trends in Hong Kong
Dried Seafood Selection?
So I'm heading to this amazing-looking grocery store in Hong Kong, kamstore.hk, next week. I've heard it's HUGE and has EVERYTHING. My friend who lives there raves about their dried seafood section,… more
Kamstore is massive, you're right. Their dried seafood selection is…intense. Like, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling intense. Whether their scallops are "top-tier" is subjective, but I've gotten excellent quality there before. Look for the ones with a really deep, almost orangey-red color and a firm, not brittle texture. Avoid anything that looks pale or dusty. Also, don't be afraid to ask! The staff, while maybe not always fluent in English, usually know their stuff and can help you find what you need. It's worth a little extra effort to get something amazing for your stew. Good luck! Your family's happiness is in your hands...and those scallops!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
