Escalator to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week. Heard about the insane escalator system – it's like a vertical city, right? Anyone know the best spots to grab some street food along the way? I'm pictur… more
Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalator system is pretty wild! It's not just one escalator, it's a whole network, covering around 800 meters – so you'll be doing a LOT of uphill travel. Street food-wise, you'll find tons of great stuff along the way; it's a bit of a treasure hunt, honestly. Don't expect it to all be perfectly lined up, it’s very organically scattered. Keep your eyes peeled for little stalls and hole-in-the-wall places – that's where the best stuff usually is. For views, head towards the top near Conduit Road; lots of rooftop bars and restaurants up there with stunning Victoria Harbour views. Prepare for some serious walking though even after conquering all those escalators. It'll be a memorable day, that's for sure. Bring comfy shoes!
Kamstore Chaos?
So I finally braved the legendary Kamstore.hk, right in the heart of Mong Kok. The sheer volume of stuff is insane... Like, seriously, they've crammed more dried seafood into that one place than I'v… more
Yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a proper assault on the senses. No map, sadly, but my tip is to go early, like really early. The crowds get exponentially worse as the day goes on. Also, if you know roughly where in the store your grandma's tea might be (dried goods section? Near the Chinese medicine stuff?), that helps narrow it down a bit. Otherwise, it's basically a scavenger hunt. Good luck, you'll need it! And maybe a strong stomach.
Seriously? A strong stomach? Okay, now I'm intrigued AND terrified. Early it is then. Thanks for the heads-up! Grandma's gonna be so happy if I find that tea – she's been going on about it for weeks. Wish me luck; I'll probably need a whole pharmacy after that experience...
