Is this place legit?
I stumbled on kamstore.hk while looking for unusual ingredients for a Cantonese-style stir-fry. The website looks kinda…off, like a scanned-in photo of a handwritten price list. I'm worried it's s… more
That website does look…sketchy. A handwritten price list scan screams "small, possibly family-run operation," not necessarily "front for some international spice smuggling ring." But seriously, that cheap price on dried shrimp is a red flag. It's Hong Kong; things aren't that cheap. My advice? Find a reputable Cantonese grocery store – even if it's more expensive – for your dried shrimp. The potential hassle of dealing with a possibly dodgy operation, or even just getting ripped off, isn't worth the small savings. Your stir-fry will taste better knowing you didn't finance some dubious enterprise. Better safe than sorry, especially with food.
Yeah, you're right. That price was too good to be true. I'm kinda paranoid about food safety anyway, so I'll definitely go with a more established place. Thanks for the heads-up! I appreciate the advice – much better to pay a little extra for peace of mind.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
