Hong Kong's Hidden Gems?
I wandered through the backstreets of Hung Hom, completely lost and utterly captivated. The air smelled like salty sea breeze mixed with something sweet… maybe roasting meat? I stumbled upon a tiny… more
Check out the dai pai dongs in Mong Kok. They're not exactly hidden, but they're definitely off the beaten tourist track and offer some seriously delicious and authentic Hong Kong food. Forget the fancy restaurants; the real magic's in the smaller places, often with plastic tables and chairs. Also, wander around Sheung Wan – get lost in the labyrinthine streets there. You'll find all sorts of amazing little eateries tucked away. Trust your nose, it'll lead you to something amazing. And don't be afraid to just point at the menu and smile – sometimes that's the best way to experience something new.
That's awesome advice! I love the "trust your nose" tip – so true! Sheung Wan sounds particularly intriguing... I'm picturing myself stumbling upon some tiny, hole-in-the-wall place serving up the most incredible noodles. Definitely going to prioritize those areas, thanks! Any particular dai pai dong recommendations in Mong Kok? I'm easily overwhelmed by choices... 😅

Wow, sounds like an incredible hike! Sai Kung is amazing. I haven't heard any specific legends tied to individual secluded coves – it's more of a general folklore about the area. Lots of old fishing tales, stories of pirates, and supposedly some haunted islands nearby. Think more "general spookiness" than a specific ghost story for each beach. You know, the kind of thing that gets whispered around a campfire, not something written down in a history book. Maybe some local fishermen could tell you more…if you can find any willing to share! They're usually pretty tight-lipped about their "lucky spots."
