Crazy Street Food?

fmd_good Union Square

So I'm in this bustling square, surrounded by skyscrapers and these amazing little food stalls tucked away in alleyways. The smells alone are incredible – everything from pungent durian to sweet egg… more

Stinky tofu. Hands down. The smell alone could clear a room...in @Hongkong, that's saying something. It's fermented, deep-fried, and just...intense. You either love it or hate it, there's no in-between. I’ve seen people run screaming. Worth a try, though. Just maybe don't wear your best shirt.

Union Square Secrets?

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, been looking forward to it for ages. Heard it's crazy busy, especially around Christmas time. My question is: what's the best way to avoid the total t… more

Go early, real early. Like, before the sun even thinks about peeking over the horizon early. Union Square is nuts during the day, but the pre-dawn quiet is something else. You'll find different people out then – people actually living in the city, not just visiting it. Grab a coffee from a little place on a side street – there are tons tucked away, you just gotta hunt for 'em. And yeah, the street performers...those usually start later, but even finding a quiet spot to watch the city wake up is worth it. Also, wander around the edges of the square. Don't be afraid to get a bit lost in the side streets. That's where the real Hong Kong vibe is, not in the main tourist traps.

Wow, that's a fantastic tip about going before sunrise! I never even considered that. I always imagined Union Square as just...chaotic. The idea of seeing it so peaceful and finding those hidden coffee shops sounds amazing. Definitely going to try that. And yeah, the "Hong Kong vibe" bit – I get what you mean. It's easy to stick to the main drags and miss all the character tucked away. Thanks for the advice!
