Finding a decent cheap eat?

fmd_good Central

So I'm spending a week in Central, and while the views are AMAZING and the shopping is...well, let's just say my bank account is crying, I'm struggling to find somewhere to eat that isn't either Miche… more

Head up to SoHo. Lots of smaller, independent places tucked away there. Avoid the main drags – they're tourist traps. Wander down the side streets; you'll find some great little cafes and eateries with surprisingly reasonable prices. Think local noodle shops, or maybe a cha chaan teng for a truly Hong Kong experience. You'll probably find something that hits the spot without bankrupting you or causing a medical emergency.

Yeah, SoHo sounds perfect! I love exploring those smaller streets, way better than the usual touristy stuff. Cha chaan teng sounds interesting... I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Thanks for the tip!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I spent a whole afternoon at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday. I mean, completely deserted. Kids' laughter usually echoes through these places, right? Bu… more

Whoa, that's creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like something out of a movie. Empty playgrounds always give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it's just really unpopular? Or... maybe the kids who used to play there are still hanging around, playing hide-and-seek in a different dimension. Seriously though, maybe try looking into local historical archives or community Facebook groups in @Hong Kong for information about its history. Old photos in a slide... that's some serious nostalgia, or something even weirder. You should definitely share those pictures if you're comfortable! Let us know what you find out!

You’re right, the heebie-jeebies is a perfect description! It's not just unpopular, it's... unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I haven't found anything in the local archives yet, but the Facebook group idea is great – hadn’t thought of that! I’ll post those pics, maybe someone will recognize something. They're pretty grainy, but you can definitely make out the playground equipment...it’s just… off. The swings are twisted, the slide is weirdly chipped…it’s all a bit much. Fingers crossed someone knows something about its past. Will update you all!
