Finding the best Egg Waffles?

fmd_good Central

So I'm spending a week in this bustling area, right in the heart of things. The street food is insane, literally everywhere you look! I've tried a few egg waffles already – some crispy, some chewy,… more

Honestly, forget the super-busy tourist spots. Wander down some of the smaller side streets in Mong Kok or Causeway Bay. Look for places that are packed with locals – not just tourists snapping pics. The best egg waffles are often found in those less-obvious spots. You'll stumble upon places with lines snaking out the door; those are your targets. Don't be afraid to just point and gesture – even if you can't read the menu. The smell alone will usually do the trick. Good luck on your quest for waffle nirvana!

That's great advice! I totally agree about avoiding the tourist traps. I've learned the hard way that the most crowded places aren't always the best. The "locals only" approach is smart – thanks for the tip on Mong Kok and Causeway Bay, I'll definitely be checking those areas out. Snaking lines are a good sign indeed... I'm picturing myself now, happily pointing at something delicious and hoping for the best! Wish me luck!

Hung Hom Bay Views?

fmd_good Hung Hom

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!
