Trends in Hong Kong
Finding the best noodle shop
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. I've heard the food scene around campus is amazing, but navigating a new city is always a bit overwhelming. Anyone know t… more
Honestly, forget the campus area. Head a little further down the road towards the residential neighborhoods. You'll find much better, more authentic noodle places there. They're usually smaller, less flashy, and packed with locals – that's your sign you've hit the jackpot. Look for places with lots of handwritten signs in Chinese, and don't worry if the menu isn't in English; just point at what looks good. You'll easily find something delicious for under 50 HKD that way. Trust me, the best food isn't always in the most obvious spots.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
