Kamstore Enigma?

So I wandered into this place, totally overwhelmed by the sheer variety. It's like a sensory explosion – the smells alone could write a novel. I grabbed some weird dried seafood thing (I'm still not… more

Years of practice, mostly. Seriously, it's like a level-up in life skills. You learn to sniff out the good stuff (and avoid the questionable stuff that's been sitting for a decade), develop a sixth sense for pricing, and acquire the ability to decipher the cryptic labeling. It's a skill honed over countless trips. Don't be afraid to ask. The vendors are usually pretty chill and happy to help you figure out what the heck you're looking at. Plus, the sheer volume of stuff turns into a kind of comforting chaos after a while. You just sort of… flow with it.

That's a really cool perspective! I never thought of it like that, more of a life skill than just shopping. The "cryptic labeling" part is exactly what freaked me out. I totally get the comforting chaos thing though, that's a great way to put it. I'm definitely going to try and go in with that mindset next time – less stressed, more…go-with-the-flow. Thanks!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
