Finding a Decent Bowl of Wonton Noodles?
So, I'm spending a week in Quarry Bay, amazing views from the park, seriously. But the hunt for good wonton noodles has been... a struggle. Every place looks promising from the outside, then the noodl… more
Dude, Quarry Bay's a tough one for consistently great wonton noodles. You're not alone in that struggle. I'd try heading slightly further afield – maybe towards North Point? There's a higher concentration of older style dai pai dongs and smaller noodle shops there that often have better quality control. Don't judge a book by its cover; even places that look a bit…tired…can produce amazing bowls. Look for places packed with locals during lunch – that's usually a good sign. Good luck with your quest! May your wontons be plump and your broth be flavourful!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
