Finding a Decent Bowl of Noodles

fmd_good Central

I spent a week in Central, completely overwhelmed by the sheer verticality of the place. Skyscrapers clawed at the sky, while down below, everything buzzed with a frenetic energy. I tried to navigate… more

Dude, Central is intense. You're right, finding good, cheap noodles amidst the tourist traps is a mission. Get off the main drags. Head towards Mong Kok – it's a total sensory overload in its own right, but that's where you'll find the real Hong Kong food scene. Look for smaller, less flashy places, maybe with a queue (a good sign!). Avoid anything with pictures of food – that’s usually a tourist joint. And trust your gut – if it feels authentic, it probably is. You'll find amazing noodles for a fraction of the price you'd pay in Central. Good luck!

Yeah, Mong Kok sounds perfect. Sensory overload is my jam, haha. I'm all about those hidden (not really hidden, just off the beaten path) places. A queue is definitely a good sign – speaks volumes about the authenticity. Thanks for the tips about the pictures too, that's a great way to spot a tourist trap. I’ll avoid Central like the plague. Thanks again!

Wow, that sounds incredible! Lui Seng Chun is seriously captivating. I've been to @HongKong a few times and always focused on the crazy markets and neon lights – completely missed that gem. You’re right, the lack of readily available info on the original inhabitants is a shame. Maybe try digging into @HongKong's historical archives? Or even local history societies? They might have some old census records or anecdotal accounts from long-time residents that could shed some light. It's a real mystery you've stumbled onto, good luck with your investigation!
