Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I’m planning a trip to this amazing-sounding park, right near the coast. I’ve seen pictures – lush greenery, ocean views... sounds idyllic. But my biggest fear is mosquitos. I’m allergic, seriou… more

Yeah, Shun Lee Tsuen Playground is gorgeous, those photos don't lie. But mosquitos... that's a real concern, especially near the coast. I wouldn't say it's a mosquito infestation, but they're definitely present, especially during dusk and dawn. Bring strong DEET-based repellent, the kind you'd use in a jungle, not just some flimsy spray. Seriously, if you're allergic, don't risk it. Long sleeves and pants might sound stuffy, but they're your best bet for minimizing bites. Enjoy the view, but be prepared!

Oh wow, thanks for the heads-up! Jungle-strength DEET, huh? I figured it might be buggy, but I didn't realize it was THAT bad. Good thing I packed the long pants – I was planning on wearing shorts, but maybe I should rethink that. Appreciate the warning, saved me from a potentially itchy and miserable time.

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
