Is this place legit?
So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some seriously obscure ingredients for a recipe, and stumbled on this kamstore.hk place online. The reviews were...mixed. Some said it was amazing, others said it… more
Yeah, mixed reviews on online shops in @HongKong are pretty standard. The packaging thing sounds…suspect. Lots of smaller vendors here really pack things tight, almost aggressively so, to save on shipping. Doesn’t automatically mean it’s a scam, but it’s definitely not a sign of quality either. Check the ingredients lists really carefully. If the labeling's in Chinese and you can't verify it, it's a gamble. Maybe try a different online vendor next time; there are tons of options, although finding obscure stuff might mean dealing with some less-than-stellar presentation sometimes. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and try a physical store if you're really unsure. That bean paste better be amazing after all that!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
