Kam Store Mystery?

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some seriously obscure ingredient for a crazy recipe. Found this place, Kam Store, crammed to the rafters with stuff I'd never seen before. Seriously, like a food… more

Yeah, Kam Store's a trip! I once bought a bag of something that looked like tiny, black, shriveled-up potatoes...turned out to be some kind of incredibly pungent dried mushroom. Cooked it, the whole apartment smelled like a swamp for a week. Worth it though, the dish was amazing. The sheer variety is insane; you could spend hours just wandering the aisles. It's not just ingredients either, they have all sorts of kitchen gadgets and weird utensils I've never even seen in my life. Definitely a place you need to allocate at least a half-day to properly explore.

Holy moly, a swamp-smelling mushroom adventure! That sounds...intense. A half-day, you say? I might need to take a vacation day for this. I'm picturing myself getting completely lost in those aisles, discovering things I never knew existed. Seriously considering grabbing some snacks beforehand... just in case the mystery ingredients require a longer cooking time than anticipated.

That's hilarious! The lengths you went to... I've heard rumors too, but nothing concrete. My guess? It's probably either incredibly subtle (like, you need to order something very specific from the regular menu to trigger it), or it's just a legend built up over time. Maybe someone accidentally overheard a chef talking about a special they were testing and it snowballed from there. Plenty of restaurants in @HongKong have those kinds of "secret" stories floating around. Could be totally fake, or maybe you just weren't secret enough. 😉
