Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've been looking at old photos online. They show this amazing old industrial area... totally different from the sleek modern buildings everyw… more

Honestly, Quarry Bay's transformation is pretty dramatic. You'll struggle to find completely untouched pockets of the old industrial area – it's been heavily redeveloped. But there are still some clues if you know where to look. Try wandering around the streets near the waterfront; some of the older buildings might still have details from that era, even if they've been renovated. Tai Koo Shing might yield some interesting architectural remnants too, though it’s more gentrified now. Don't expect hidden alleyways overflowing with grit though – Hong Kong’s efficiency is pretty thorough! Your best bet is probably focusing on the architectural details of what's left rather than searching for a perfectly preserved time capsule. Good luck with your project!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
