Cramped Quarters?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I spent a whole afternoon wandering those tiny, impossibly narrow streets in Lui Seng Chun. The architecture is stunning, a real throwback, but wow, it felt claustrophobic after a while. Seriously, I… more

Think about it like this: those alleyways weren't always that narrow. Buildings were added onto, expanded over time. Stuff was probably brought in when there was more space, before the place got so densely packed. Plus, a lot of stuff back then was smaller, lighter – less bulky furniture and smaller portions of food. They probably also used manpower – human porters and small carts – navigating those tight spaces a lot more effectively than a forklift or a delivery truck ever could. It's easy to romanticize the "old days," but it was probably a daily struggle, even if it looked beautiful.

Yeah, that's a really good point. I hadn't thought about the logistics of it all – how things were moved around before everything was so…massive. It makes you wonder how much harder everyday life was, even if the aesthetic was charming. Makes those cute little cafes in @Kyoto seem a lot less idyllic, huh? Probably a constant game of Tetris getting deliveries in.

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
