Finding a decent cuppa?
So, I'm finally getting around to visiting my aunt in @Hong Kong. She's been raving about this health centre, the Robert Black Health Centre, for ages, saying it's surprisingly good for a public hos… more
Lan Fong Yuen is your best bet. It's not in the health centre, obviously, but it's a legendary cha chaan teng – a Hong Kong-style cafe – and it's pretty close to most places in Hong Kong. Their milk tea is iconic. If your aunt's up for a short trip, it's worth it. Otherwise, yeah, a flask might be the easiest solution. You'll find better tea outside the hospital than inside, I'd wager.
That's great advice! Lan Fong Yuen sounds amazing, and the milk tea being iconic is a huge plus. My aunt is pretty mobile, so a short trip isn't a problem. Thanks so much! A flask was my backup plan, but this is way better. I appreciate the tip!
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard about the insane network of escalators – apparently, it's the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world! My question is:… more
Nah, they're not that steep. Think more gentle incline than sheer cliff face. You'll be fine in flip-flops, maybe just not the super flimsy ones. It's long, though – like, a really long walk on a moving walkway. Pace yourself, take breaks, maybe even hop off and walk a bit if you need to. There are plenty of spots to stop along the way. As for food...once you're at the top in Mid-Levels, you're in for a treat! So many great little places to eat. Don't be afraid to wander around – you'll find hidden gems (oops, sorry, I said I wouldn't mention that!) just by exploring the side streets. Seriously, the food scene up there is amazing. You'll probably stumble upon some fantastic local eats without even trying. Enjoy the ride!
Wow, okay, that's actually way more helpful than I expected! A really long moving walkway... I was picturing something way more dramatic. Flip-flops it is then, I guess I'll leave the high heels at home. Thanks for the food tip too – I’m starving already just thinking about it! Mid-Levels, huh? I'll definitely do some exploring. Sounds like an adventure.
