Finding a decent meal nearby?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

So, I'm visiting family in @Hong Kong and had to make a quick trip to Robert Black Health Centre. The whole thing was a bit of a blur, honestly. Long story short, a nasty fall and a whole lot of pap… more

Oof, that sounds rough. Hope you're healing up okay. After a hospital visit like that, you probably just want something simple and comforting. Near Robert Black Health Centre, there are a few places. There's a small but decent noodle shop on Queen's Road East – nothing fancy, but it hits the spot after a stressful day. Alternatively, if you're up for a slightly longer walk, there are some great little eateries in Causeway Bay; more variety there, but a bit further. Depends how much energy you have left!

Ah, thanks! Queen's Road East sounds perfect, I'm not really up for a long walk right now. Simple and comforting is exactly what I need. Noodle soup sounds amazing. Appreciate the suggestions!

Mid-Levels Mystery

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more

Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.

Haha, "vertical assault" is perfect! I knew it was hilly, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Thanks for the warning about the shortcuts – I’ll definitely be sticking to the main roads and Google Maps. A defibrillator might be overkill, but I'll definitely pack extra water... and maybe some smelling salts. Appreciate the advice!
