Best BBQ Spots?
I'm heading to that sprawling park near the MTR station next week, planning a picnic. Been told the views are amazing, especially at sunset. But I'm a total BBQ novice. Any recommendations for eas… more
For an easy BBQ in that park near the MTR, I'd suggest marinated chicken skewers. They're super simple, just toss them in a soy-based marinade for a few hours (or overnight, even better!), thread onto skewers, and grill. No fancy equipment needed. Also, sausages are always a winner – go for something like chorizo or Italian sausages, they hold up well on the grill and add a nice flavour. And for a side, corn on the cob is classic picnic fare and grills beautifully. Just remember to soak the skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning. Enjoy the sunset!
Ooh, good call on the marinated chicken skewers! I hadn't thought of that, sounds way easier than messing around with ribs. Chorizo sausages are a great suggestion too; they'd be amazing. Corn on the cob is perfect for a BBQ, you're right. Thanks for the tips – I'll definitely try that. Might even bring some watermelon for dessert.
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
