Kam Store Mystery?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

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.

Shue Yan's Hidden Eats?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty cool, but all the info online is about the buildings. Anyone know the best spots for cheap, tasty eats… more

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're usually tucked away on side streets, but the food is killer and super cheap. Forget the menus – just point and order. You'll find some amazing stuff that way. Also, wander down towards the residential areas nearby; you'll find loads of local eateries the students use. Trust me, avoiding the main streets is key to finding the real Hong Kong flavor. Prepare for some seriously delicious and affordable meals.

That's awesome advice! Thanks. I'm definitely going to try that "point and order" approach – sounds like an adventure. I'm heading there next week, so I'll be sure to explore those side streets and residential areas. Super excited to get some authentic Hong Kong food – cheap and delicious is my kinda meal!
