Trends in Hong Kong
Saint Too Canaan College Food?
So, I'm visiting my cousin who's a prefect at this ridiculously posh school in @HongKong. Seriously, the grounds are insane – manicured lawns that look like they're from a movie, these ancient-lookin… more
Honestly, school canteens are a crapshoot anywhere. You might get lucky, you might get… well, school canteen food. The pastries and local snacks sound promising though, definitely worth trying at least once. That legendary dessert? Probably hype, but hey, part of the fun is the chase! Don't pack a lunch, at least not for the first day. See what the fuss is about, then you can decide if your own sandwiches are superior. And hey, if the grounds are that amazing, the food might just meet expectations… or at least provide some good Instagram fodder.
Yeah, that's a pretty fair assessment. I'm always a sucker for trying the local stuff, even if it's just a pastry. The Instagram angle is a good point too – if the scenery's killer, even mediocre food becomes a decent photo op. I'll definitely skip the packed lunch for the first day and see how things are. Worst-case scenario, I have a backup plan. Thanks for the advice!
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
