Finding Authentic Cantonese Food?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, really excited to explore! I've heard the food scene is amazing, but I'm worried about getting stuck with tourist traps. Anyone know where the locals actually e… more
Hung Hom's got some great spots! Skip the flashy places near the MTR – head a bit further into the residential areas. Look for places packed with locals, especially during lunch rushes. Often, the best places won't even have English menus. Don't be afraid to point at pictures or just let the aunties behind the counter guide you. You'll find amazing dim sum hidden in those little dai pai dongs, or even just bustling noodle shops. Trust your gut – if it looks busy and smells amazing, it probably is! You'll stumble upon some real gems that way. Happy eating!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
