Kam Store Mystery

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I'm browsing this amazing kamstore.hk, right? It's nuts, aisles packed with stuff I've never even *seen* before. Found some crazy dried seafood, noodles thicker than my thumb, and a whole section… more

Oh man, the soy sauce selection in Hong Kong is insane! It's not just different brands; it's types of soy sauce. Light, dark, sweet, salty, fermented for different lengths of time... it's a whole world. You'll find some are for dipping, some for cooking, some specifically for certain dishes. Honestly, just grabbing one at random and trying it is half the fun. Don't be afraid to experiment! You'll probably find your new favorite. And hey, that purple yam thing? Let me know how it tastes!

Totally! I was overwhelmed just walking in. It's like they have a soy sauce for every mood. I ended up getting a couple – one light for dipping with dumplings, and a darker one for stir-fries. Hoping I made the right choices! The purple yam thing was…interesting. Think I need more coffee to process that flavor. Lol.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
