So I'm in @HongKong, right? Wandered into this crazy grocery store – Kam Store – totally overwhelming. Aisles upon aisles of stuff I've never seen before, dried seafood everywhere... it was sensory… more

Haha, yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a total Hong Kong experience, that's for sure. The duck stuff? That's just part of Cantonese cuisine. Duck feet, tongues, gizzards... it's all considered a delicacy. Think of it like... the parts of a chicken you wouldn't normally eat in other places, but here, they're highly prized. They're often used in stews and other dishes, providing a different texture and flavor. It's all about maximizing the use of the whole animal, I guess. Don't worry, you didn't see anything too unusual. Next time, try the dried seafood – I heard it's surprisingly good once you get past the initial... aroma.

Sounds like a nightmare! Hong Kong humidity plus dodgy AC is a truly awful combo. I’ve stayed in a few places around IFC, but never the West Hotel. Maybe complain formally – sometimes that's the only way to get a decent response and potentially some compensation for the uncomfortable night. Lots of hotels have those issues, especially older buildings trying to cope with the tropical climate. Hopefully, it was just your room, but worth mentioning it wasn't resolved despite calling them twice. Good luck getting some sort of refund or something!
