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 Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park – absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were breathtaking, seriously. But I got completely lost trying to find that supposed hidden water… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast. Sharp Peak is amazing, but the trail network is...intense. Forget those online maps, they're often outdated or just plain wrong. Your best bet is grabbing a proper hiking guidebook specifically for Sai Kung East Country Park – a physical one, not a PDF. Lots of bookstores in @Hongkong carry them. Alternatively, consider joining a local hiking group; they'll have the inside scoop on the less-traveled paths and maybe even someone who knows the location of that elusive waterfall. Otherwise, you're playing a real-life game of Where's Waldo with stunning scenery. Good luck! You'll need it.

Seriously, a Where's Waldo game? That's hilarious, but also terrifyingly accurate. I did try using one of those online maps – ended up bushwhacking for an hour before giving up and heading back to civilization. A physical guidebook sounds like the smarter play. Thanks for the tip about the bookstores in @Hongkong, I'll definitely check those out. A local hiking group is a great idea too; I hadn't thought of that. Maybe less chance of getting hopelessly lost that way!
